Damned Heavy Weapons build notes


  • Heavy Weapons Build Guide

     

    heavy weapon sprue

     

    Tripods (A1-5, B1-3, C1-3)

     

    I found the pegs on the base plate for the lower armour plate need shaving down to fit well in the socket.

     

    Fit the lower armour plate for tripod A prior to fitting the front legs for tripod A as it makes getting their angle right easier

    Weapons

     

    Mortar (Blue)

     

    The seated crewman won't fit if you face the mortar straight ahead

     

    Missile (Red)

     

    the peg on the central swivel may need shaving down to fit the socked on the shield

     

    next fit the computer screen, line up the cables with the pegs on the back of the gun shield (if you fit the launcher first at too high an angle the screen wont fit)

     

    launcher screen

     

    fit the nose cone and end cap then dry fit the other side of the tube to make sure you get good contact all the way along before glueing, you might need to shave the sides of the end cap and nose cone

     

    leave the end cap and nose cone out for a just fired look

     

    comes with a spare missile crate for base decoration

     

    Dual Autocanon (yellow)

     

    the magazines fit on the left of the gun, there is an arm holding one on the crew sprue so you could leave one off for a mid-reload look

     

    Heavy Machine Gun (Cyan)

     

    build 2 part ammo belt box

     

    Energy Weapon (purple)

     

    To get the gun to fit through the shield I cut one side of the narrow bar at the bottom of the shield with a sharp blade, bent it out of the way to get the gun through the slot, then glued bar back in place

     

    I trimmed the peg on the cable and socket on the powerpack to get a good fit for gluing

     

    Trim off the peg on the other end of the cable to give a flat surface you can glue to the side of the gun

     

    Comes with spare power pack crate
