will you then build up on the structure or file it? either way that looks very promising!
the handrails seem to be something you have already worked out pretty well...^^
what i was wondering now... how do you want to rivet that vehicle? i fear that by using the glue methode on this you will have way too different sized rivets all over... the model itself is rather more tiny than your other babies so i would suggest you try to get a more uniform pattern of rivets on that one...how...i am at a loss...

I have some very thin round stock, it may take time to rivet like mad, but glue/snip the pieces, I will also be adding more and shaping to that turret, then smooth it down some more.

Well, the plastic rods look more thread sized in their 1mm diameter. And the pics will show that while the turret is close to what I was after, certain realities made it different than planned but workable.

Thanks.  I used a end of the tweezers, wetted it, and smoothed it as I shaped it, avoiding finger prints as much as possible.
Yes, those are OC gattlers.

Nice work on the conversion. I'm not sure if some other nit picker has already pointed this out, but the original vehicle is a Bren Gun Carrier. The Bren was the UK LMG of choice in the 40s and 50s named after where it was largely designed in Brno and Enfield. Its amazing what sticks with you

That Bren came with a nice bit of history on the instructions.
@Vik, I am considering some sort of armor upgrades for the troops.

A Catachan can soak up as much damage than 4 other guardsmen! They don't need no stinkin armor!
Not really, they die just like the rest, but it makes them seem tougher

The idea for some sort of armor, that would make them appear different. some sort of shoulder guard, a breast plate etc.

Nah, gonna make GS sculpted armor bits for those Catachans.
Automatically Appended Next Post:
Oh yeah, started working on those rivets for the Bren. This is also a slow process as I must glue/cut/file them.

Yes, the smaller rivets are kinda interesting, especially at 1mm diameter.
Ah, to have a press mould.
