How I made 15 cheap Meltaguns - Conversion How To

Well I needed 15 meltaguns for my Necro 8th Mechanized Guardsman army, and we all know how hard (and expensive!) meltaguns are! So rather than scratch my head wondering how I was able to find (and afford) 15 meltaguns I decided to scratch build my own.

First I took the many flamers found on the Cadian Sprue and cut it up as seen here.

Next I got some strip styrene from my local art shop (Art Friend in Singapore) for about $4.

I then cut them to approx 0.7cm in length, I used an actual Meltagun model for measurement.

*notice the size labelled on the packaging should you want to do the same as me.

After that I filed both ends to ensure a flat surface for a good fit.

Here's how it looks after glueing!

p.s I missed photographing a step after this, which was to drill out the end of the meltagun barrel.
