				<title>Bonesword Conversions</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ So I wanted to give my current Scything Talons warriors Boneswords, but the current kit doesn't contain them.<br /> I snipped the talon and inverted it, along with the mini-claw to look like a handguard.<br /> Here's a pic:<br /> <a href="http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/84548-Bonesword%20Conversion.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2010/2/21/84548_sm-Bonesword%20Conversion.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /> The question I'm asking is: should I <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(47);'>GS</span> the top/hand of the blade to make it look like a Tyrant blade? Bearing in mind I'm not in possession of any <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(47);'>GS</span> at the moment and would have to buy it.<br /> <br /> Also, on a side note: I was trying to exchange Spinefists for Fleshborers on my termies and wondered how to get rid of the excess plastic in the sockets once I snipped the arms. I was thinking a dremel or a drop of acetone to clear it out. Please give me ideas or recomendations.<br /> Thanks]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ If you're good with <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(47);'>GS</span>, then I say go for it.  If you're only "okay" with it then you might want to leave it as it is.<br /> <br /> Never use a dremel on plastic unless you're intending to remove large amounts of it indiscriminately.  The dremel's spin quickly heats the plastic, deforming it slightly and actually liquifying the stuff that the bit is cutting against.  As it rotates, the bit wobbles around in the hole being drilled, carving a hole much wider than it would on a metal figure.  You'd be better off putting a cutting bit into a pin vice and working it by hand.  Slower, yes, but on small details it gives you greater control with far less potential to damage the model.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ awesome idea.. but i agree with breotan you should pin vice the  sockets... thats what im doingright now actually.. spinefists are now fleshboreres in my nids army... so many gaunts. my ideas for the bonesword was to do something similar to yours. but i was gonna take some plasticard, laminate it and then carve a tyrant like sword out of it.<br /> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: 9px; line-height: normal;">Automatically Appended Next Post:</span><br /> also while reading the codex ive found if you take the boneswords .. you ca either have scything talons or upgrade them to rending claws.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ After all that palava we tested the acetone and found it did nothing for dissolving sprue plastic. My dad was confident about the dremel and he has a pretty steady hand so he managed to make a good socket sized hole with the dremel. We used a weird bit with a little bobble on the end (don't know the name) rather than a spiralling drill bit and I think that's what contributed to our success. So if you're drilling plastic use the bobble head bit.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ I use a Dremel on plastic all the time. Yes, you need to be careful depending on the bit you use as it can either eat the material real quick, or heat it up and melt it. I've never had it liquefy though, just get really soft.]]></description>
