Is that a Vulcan Mega-Bolter in your pocket?? ...or, I'm bringing the Dakka!!!

It's a little boxy for my liking but in the end it came out pretty good. This is my first from scratch Vulcan Mega-Bolter. For the Biledriver I used a Spawn action figure Minigun and mounted it on 40mm base on a peg. This time I wanted to try to build it from the ground up. The barrels are from an I-MEX Chemical Plant.

And I'll form the legs...or rise my creation and walk!!! Mua ha ha ha!!!

The shins, thighs and pelvis are now assembled. Tomorrow I'm going to try to get the ankles put together before my appointment. The torso will have to be taken apart. It dried cock-eyed and needs straightening. The rest will have to wait till Saturday, as I have my Dark Heresy campaign to run Friday night. Maybe we'll have a TPK so I can hurry home to work on it. Heh heh heh...
