Does anyone have an idea on how to convert some supa shootas?

I bought two used ork flyers as is and would like them to use both as dakka jets.
Any help would be appreciated.

Drilling some holes into any thick enough cylinder shaped object, and putting a smaller cylinder on top should make for a good shoota. Not sure what exactly you could use though. A cut up pencil and a toothpick perhaps?

If you have any shootas from an ork Boyz sprue, the easiest thing is to take the barrel of one gun and glue it to the end of another shoota. Or otherwise extend the barrel with other bits.

If you have any pals who play Guard or Space Marine or whatever, ask them if they have leftover gun bits. Most people will.

One of the best things to do is go to a hobby store and ask for styrene tubing. You can get it in sheets, rods, tubes etc. For maybe $5 you can get an assortment pack of different sized tubes and rods. Cheap and easy to work with. Drill holes in one piece to make a barrel shroud and run a smaller piece through it. Or use a bundle of narrow tubes to make a Gatling gun barrel. You can also use styrene to make looted bits bigger and more orky.

Goto a dollar store and buy a bag of cheap ball point pens. Each pen will contain all the parts needed to make bad ass guns it only takes a little creativity and some paint and youre golden
