Introduction
My second space marine commission after the magnetized Repulsor. The specification: bolter, chainsword, two servo arms.
Bits and pieces
I had a cache of orky bits from who knows where. After some research, this is what I found to be servo arm material.
I honestly don't know what this is.
Power choppa?
Half of a power klaw.
So here's everything. An old marine body with attached head and chainsword. A bolter arm with a decorated shoulder pad. The chopped up orky bits (I only took the powered part of the choppa). A backpack with no exhaust bulbs (that is where the servo arms will go). Plasticard rods. Round sprue injection points.
Backpack assembly
I did not take step by step photos. Suffice to say that everything is pinned. EVERYTHING.
I added plasticard fingers to the power claw.
Unfortunately I drilled through some pieces.
But that can be fixed with clay shapers and watered down milliput.
Otherwise the backpack assembly is complete!
Full assembly
I tried to dry fit the bolter and the backpack, but the shoulder pad rim is too large and wouldn't fit. I had to trim it down.
Also drilled the bolter at this point.
I rounded off the cut with the hobby knife, but a huge backpack will cover it up anyway.
Finally, I filled the hole in the marine's back with milliput and superglue-d on the backpack, but it broke off easily. So I pinned that too...
Finished!
