Once your doors look snazzy, take one of the 3 remaining trapezoid-ee looking thingies and glue it for the center section/door:įor the other 2 trapezoid-ee thingies we'll want to cut them like so: (If you can't tell which fin is attached to the base and which is attached to the door without looking at the bottom, you've done this correctly. We'll achieve this by applying glue to the fins on the patterned lines like so:Īnd gluing them to the doors, so that when closed, will look just like the fins that are glued to the base. (Leaving the middle door fin-free, we want the 2 surrounding doors to have the 2 fins glued to them like the picture above.) We want the end result of the 2 remaining fins to look like this: Next we'll construct the 3 "un-cut" fins, 2 of the trapezoid-ee thingies that goes in between the fins at the top and the top-engine-thingy normally like I've pictured here:įor the next step, pay very close attention to the pictures below, and click on them for close-ups. don't do it! Put that glue down! All right, moving along. Put the harness bay together like normal, but do not glue it to the Drop Pod. Next take the harness' and cut off the 2 different portions below so all 5 look like this: Next, let's construct the base like normal: Using the same lovely dremmel bit from my last tutorial makes this job cake: Take 2 of the "fins" and cut the bottoms of them off like so: Roger's Neighborhood Theme Song* Join me, won't you?įirst, let's get this far in our construction.
#40k drop pod doors how to#
Well, I'm here to share how to complete this man's genius idea through my own tutorial. So I took to my elite Google searching skills and found this video on youtube. Unfortunately I'm not into spending almost 100 bucks on a Drop Pod. So I took a trip over to Forgeworld and BAM! But if you've ever seen a GW Drop Pod, you might wonder how a Dread might fit inside one. I like my Dreadnoughts, a lot, but I like them even more when they're dressed up in something smexy like a Drop Pod. Clamping the assembly with my hand for a few minutes seemed to do the trick though and the doors then operate very nicely.Hello again! Today I have another first attempt that went quite well. But I’m not so I had to just do one at a time. So if I were an octopus then I could have done all three of the consoles all at once. I guess the nature of the beast is that some of the larger flatter components will have a little warpage that is virtually undetectable by the naked eye but abundantly clear when you go to stick something to it. This is part one where being an octopus would be slightly handy. When I woke up I started sticking it all together. So I carefully trimmed up each stage for each pod. They’ll have a long lasting effect on the integrity of the pod. Any slightly ill-fitting components won’t just look strange as they would on a tank. Trim all of the components carefully and really press them together firmly whilst the glue take effect. I’m making three all at once so cutting, trimming etc takes a fair amount of time and there are I think two key things that you must do when building a Drop Pod. Well it started off pretty well actually. In fact this was going to be called ‘how many hands must a grown man have before he can build a pod’ but it wasn’t really very catchy (this title is so much better – Ed) so let’s see how I fared with the newest batch… I have built some before so I knew what I was getting into but I seem to remember feeling as if I needed an actual Servo-Harness when I built one last time. So as promised I actually got on with building the drop pods.
