Converting the Venomcrawler
Adding extra bits to the 'crawler
I’ve had to take a little break on getting this project posted up. AdeptiCon and Salute travel, and all the work associated with that little Kickstarter project I’m doing with Mel Bose, The Terrain Tutor, has taken priority. (check out our campaign here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1560579763/terrain-essentials).
But here’s a new post looking at some of the additions I made to the vehicle. First up was attaching an Armiger meltagun to replace one of the venom weapons on the left side of the ‘crawler. To create a solid base for the meltagun I used one of the radar dishes from the AdMech Dunecrawler, trimmed off the gabbing at the back and drilled out a hole to drop the gun into.
Two of the leg “shields” had organic horns attached to the central trim plates and I didn’t feel they’d be quite right, so I sliced them off and replaced them with skull icons shaved from the Armiger thigh plates.
And finally, I decided to enhance the “spider” feel of the model by adding a little spinneret tube to the back of the beast, and then added a few cables trailing from it. The one that looks like a bass guitar string is actually a pewter cable sold by Dragon Forge Design. MUCH easier to work with than bass guitar string.
