Just wondering, do the weapons need converting when making a true scale space marine? I mean if you make the model larger, won't the weapon look smaller in comparison? Thanks in advance!

This would be a difficult task. Most weapons are slightly larger than they would be IRL, so maybe it is not needed. However it is entirely your choice.

Ok, thanks NoBaconz4You. I'll try and see how it goes! To answer your question, theQuans, true scaling is the act of making SM larger to correspond with the fluff. Here are two pretty good examples on the matter, if not two of the best: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.php?s=3762c0facc8247dc4d90f7f10c8ea330&showtopic=130115&st=0

There is no point in making the weapons bigger and no one does it. Space Marine weapons are already pretty big and look fine on most true/art scale methods. The only weapons you need to worry about are shoulder mounted ones.
