Everybody nows there is not enough meltagun bits in cadian sprues.
Well a found the cheapest way to convert your old cadian sprues to make meltagun.
All you need is unused flamer bits.
Any left arm holding a forgrip.
Unused multimelta bit from leman russ sponsons, the left side one.... nobody use it

meltagun, flamer, multimelta

remove the lower muzel. be careful to keep enough material under the top one, you will need to sculpt it round. then make a cut using a fin saw, just follow the line. and keep the skull ( it will be nice ). This is wy i used left side multymelta

[Thumb - 04 mars 873.jpg]
remove the cables. Make an other horizontal cut just above the ''ribs'' or the heat sink part and remove it

[Thumb - 04 mars 874.jpg]
now cut the whole barrel from the flamer

[Thumb - 04 mars 875.jpg]
remove the hose and it's fiting and cut a knotch under the frontal part

[Thumb - 04 mars 877.jpg]
glue the multimelta barell on top of the heatsink. Now you will need a hose to make it real.... in the company command squad sprue ther is one under the mecanical arm holding a power sword

[Thumb - 04 mars 879.jpg]
and now you have a nice looking melta gun

[Thumb - 04 mars 883.jpg]
nobody will see the difference if you don't tell him

Yes i could have cut it down lil bit more but i wanted to keep all details from the different bits like the skull, the little can and wire from the flamer base and the wire fiting from the ''heat sink''.
But thank you for your feed back, everybody has the right to say wathever critics about my job since a put it online. I will consider it in futur conversion. Critics are here to help improve things.
