Manticore (conversion)

My Manticore conversion. I made new shoulder pads (never liked too much old ones) and Cyclone Cannon. I know that back story tells us about sorta field generated projectiles, but I decided to build physical cannon and now I can say to my opponent - yeah, she do her pew-pew covering fire from these barrels exactly.





Some words about the process. First of all, Manticore was one of models I painted first without any skills :) So old paint was removed using concentrated spirit. I used Blender to create the shoulder pad prototype and Ultimaker 2+ to print it. It didn't fit good so I did several iterations to get the final result. Mr.Surfacer 500 was used to finish the surface. It was an experiment and I had some success with it.



I was requested already to share my upgrade stuff :) In the name of Scyrah here are downloadable OBJ files for you guys:
