Any tips for doing a servo harness in plastic?

I have a plan for doing the new wraith up as a tech priest but the plastic model will need a plastic servo harness.

I did one using the arms from the valkyrie door guns but I'm not 100% happy with it.



I've also thought of doing Doctor Octopus style arms using wire.

That looks awesome. Most stuff are from the Ravenwing box as well.

You must be new to Dakka, nothing is 'fine' until it's won a golden demon.

And sometimes not even then

@Capitansolstice: Nice link. Thanks. I wish it is a servo harness. :( Too lazy building up a harness from a couple of these arms.

The AOBR missile marine has a servo backpack that you could attach these to

I guess you could then cut off the vent and attach the arms to it. It's bulky enough to be a base for one, but not techy enough to do as is.

One of the devastator back packs (minus the ammo feeds)might be a good base on which to stick some robo-arms?

The actual arms are a problem to do in plastic. I'm not a fan of Doctor Octopus style wire arms, they always look cheesy to me. Possibly some of the ork killa kan arms, with hi-tech bling added? Or some spare necron bits?

Here are the Servo Arms I made for my guy.

Bits are from the Chimera Box. They are a piece of the Dozer Blade Mount, then one of the Rear lasguns. You can then mount whatever you would like on the end of the ball

It is a decent option if you want a chunkier servo arm.
