Just an Onager Conversion I made

Looks very cool! Forgive me I haven't gotten to see all the options for the model so I'm not sure what you did. Which is really a compliment since its so smooth

Great paint scheme too!

Oh I just used the leftover turret bits and some other bits i had around to make another gun turret for the other side. I felt it needed the another.

And thanks on the paint. I was scared it would come out bad.

I'm loving the conversion work as well as the paint job!

Really great work. Metals look good, just shading. Conversion it turned out great!

Good paint work, but please drill those barrels.

Would you down on me if I told you I've never drilled a barrel?

Naw, why would I? We all got to start somewhere. Grab a pin vise drill that is the appropriate size and go to town. Or, if you are feeling super ballsy, do it like I did before I had a pin vise and just use an X-Acto. Not recommended, mostly because if you slip, it can be... painful. You can just toss some black paint on the inside where you drilled and touch up the metallics if you need to and it will really, really help sell the illusion a lot better.

Well I was planning on picking up a pin vise drill anyways, I guess I'll give it a shot once I pick that up. I don't feel like trying to use an x-acto, I like my fingers.

Youll have to excuse the pics. They were taken before I drilled the barrels a bit. Also I have no idea how to do replies here.
