Zaco's recent reply to the old thread on the Codex Ra'Star board about my old VDR created Reaper Drones got me thinking; I havn't actully told you how I modeled them. Now of course they are open to be modeled however you see fit, but this how I made my orginals.
The most important thing about these "conversions" is that they're made from pieces that you should have laying around your bits box. (This is because I made them whilst sifting through my bits box
)
The centeral part of the Drone is made from the wider, more ornate, ram from the Raider kit. Place this with the the little strut that would be used to fix it to the Raider pointing up, as this will act as the support for the weapon. Then on the sides, at the back, of the ram glue two Sycthes from the raider; this can be at any angle, mine where set flat if you get my meaning, but may need abit of filing to make them site better. The weapon, whether this is a Splinter Cannon or Disintergrator, is then mounted on the the strut mentioned ealier, either lying on its side or with a bit of clipping sitting "normaly". Once this is complete its just a simple matter of glueing it to a small flying base.
Well hope you understood that and can kinda see what I was aiming at. I'll try to get a picture up as soon as find the model.
