Easy Medusa Conversion

Here is another small project that happened between other things. I had two Earthshaker Platforms and I wanted one to be a Medusa Siege Gun. I had seen similar conversions on the net so I gave it a crack with some personal touches. I find it really useful seeing how other people attempt different conversions, so in that spirit here is a walk through of my conversion. 

 My Earthshaker gun (from a Basilisk kit).

I have the cool Forge World extended breech, which they no longer make.

My supplies: cardboard tube, strip of plastic, sides of a Valkyrie Multiple Rocket Pod, Warhammer Fantasy Mortar, pipe from Manufactorum building set. You don't 'need' all of these but this is what I have used.

Cut the Barrel.

Cut the cardboard tube. 

(I didn't cut my thumb on my hobby knife but gashed it at work on a staple of all things!) 

Two strips of plastic for detail.

Fits in place well.

Here I am measuring to see how much wider my shield opening needs to be.

Opening cut wider with a dremel.

Sitting in place.

Cut the end off the Manufactorum pipe.

Cut the Warhammer mortar. 

Put is all together! [tacked in place]

Next to my Earthshaker.

Green stuff the joins after gluing.

And done ready to paint.

Too easy mate!

Cheers all,

Tally ho.
