Making a Devourer cannon

Well I was asked on my other thread on how to make the Devourer Cannon that I made, I decided to make a guide. Pics for each step will be up as soon as I make another one and figure out how to upload pics from my good camera.

Materials:
Gaunt Devourer Arm x2
Carnifex Barbed Strangler Gun Arm x1
Venom Cannon Feeder Tube Arm x2 (can be replaced by Barbed Strangler Feeder Tube)
Warrior Rending Claw Arm x1 (optional)
Unwanted Carnifex Arm x1 (optional)

Green Stuff

Super Glue, or Plastic Glue of your choice

Step 1:
Cut off the ends (the half strawberry “lump of flesh” part) of the Gaunt Devourer arms.

On the bottom of these, shave off the spiky parts of them so that it is as flat as possible.

Glue these together at the flat parts of each, so you have a cone, or strawberry.

Step 2:

Cut off the protruding parts on the end of the barrel of the Barbed Strangler so that the end is flat.

Glue the Devourer cone onto this so that the slim part and long part are lined up with the Barbed Strangler.

Step 3:

Glue in, or magnetize, the Barbed Strangler arm to your Carnifex, this will make positioning the Weapon Tubes much easier.

Glue in, or magnetize, the first weapon tube onto the Barbed Strangler arm as normal.

Step 4:

Cut off the tip of the second weapon arm, this will make a flat surface to make pinning and Green Stuffing easier.

Drill into the end of the tube and place your pin into it.

Cut to an acceptable length, shorter is usually a tad better.

Position this on your Carnifex to judge the length of the pin, and when you are ready drill into the point on the other weapon tube where you want the pin to go in.

Put in the pin and glue it on both ends.

Glue, or magnetize, the arm into its slot.

Step 5:

Use Green Stuff to fill in the gaps in the Devourer Lump, as well as smooth out the transition in between the Strangler and Devourer tip. Try to keep this smooth, and looking natural so that the Barbed Strangler seems to morph directly into the Devourers.

Once the glue on the pin has dried, use Green Stuff to continue to Weapon Tube into the other tube.

Step 6 (Optional):

To make the claw to fill the back right arm slot, take the Rending Claw arm from the Warrior and cut it diagonally along the “elbow”.

Make the same cut on the Carnifex arm that you don’t care about.

Glue the two together so that it looks as natural as possible.

Green Stuff the gap if needed.

Step 7:

Paint that badboy!
