I finally got one for my birthday and im making it now.Question comes up:

How can i make the weapons swapable without the use of magnets(i dont have any and my parents wont go to the expense of ordering magnets)?

I need both the turret and sponsons to be interchangable between the two.

Help

here is a cheap idea. Do you have Legos? you can glue one lego into the turret, and another to the back of the gun. Then you just plug it in and play. Swap weapons when you want.

great scott....
lego's are the only thing that i have more of than 40k and dust...
Ok.thats done for the sponsons.

But what about the turret? :3

nice idea with the legos (why didn't think of that, i'm an idout) for the turet dont glue it together pin it but keep one end luseso you can take it apart to change the gun

see,thats what i thought doing but i remember seeing someone making it differently.
The turret's one side angle was cut off and a peg was inserted through the body and cannon.
Anyone seen this around?
im still thinking of another way but im guessing thats the way to go.

thanks for the input guys

You can use the lego meathod fro every gun on a predator, you just have to be crafty.

ok....my text got mangled so lets try again:
I finished the tank so here's a little walker for those who might be interested to do it:

Materials:lego bricks (2 2x1 eyelets(1 stud),4 identical technic pieces,)super glue,blade,plasticard,drillbitz the width of the pegs the cannons are mounted on.
I think you can guess what to do there.For the built alcove on the turret,i used a small piece of balsa cut in a roughly triangular shape,then built onto to make the 'pin' that holds the cannon in place.Make sure you have a bit of piping stciking out of the alcove so you have something to build the pin onto
Good luck converters
