Why you got to make it look so easy? 😄
Very helpful- I've got one of these 6-pounders sitting unbuilt and you've completely demystified the construction
Nice one Jordan
One thing I usually find helpful with wheels is adding some platic putty. It doesnt speed up the process but helps keep it stable while it drys
Nice tutorial, and I've subbed!
Oh boy, putting together Warlord's artillery kits is the stuff of nightmares. I found that stabilising the wheels and axis to the table with a couple of wads of Blu-Tac does wonders to stop it from rolling about and generally moving. Great tutorial though, subbed!
That’s smart to use Blu-tac that way!
Meticulous and effective technique...and gorgeous units!
Great tutorial. I really enjoyed it.
This is the Video I would have needed a Few Hours ago^^
I found your channel while trying to build my 6 pounder today. Thanks for the info (I didn't know Warlord had a build page for things) and the pic for the build.
Great tutorial; thank you!
This was amazing! Thank you!
Glad you found it helpful!!
This was excellent my dude, funny how the 6 pounder ATG was exactly the model I was building. Next will be pak 38.
It was destiny!
Nice work, as always! But, what happens when Warlord doesn't include any assembly diagram on the product page, nor is it present in their archive of outdated assembly diagrams? This is currently the situation with many of the Polish kits (all of which are metal or resin). However, I just went to try to build Polish 100mm Medium Artillery kit after watching this video. Just *be patient* , dry fit everything 3-4x before you glue, and it will all start to make sense. It went from being a confusing jumble of pewter to really making a lot of sense after I looked at the reference photos on Warlord's site, and calmly looked at the kit pieces. Hope is never lost!
Awesome, I appreciate it. I saved the video. I'll give it a Goo.
What size magnets do you use for magnetising?
4mm x 3mm mostly!
Thank you for this
Built my first Canadian six lb. AT gun, and I have to say, that was a little slice of hell.
@@dallan7736 but you got through it!!
@@scalehistoryslc819 I did, yes. Your video helped quite a bit.
It was worth the effort, because I think it turned out great.
I've been building Warhammer metal models for twenty years, but the metal of the Bolt Action miniatures is much softer and takes some getting used to.
Cheers.
Well done! The only ting I would have added would have been pointers on the best method of straightening bent gun barrels. Every metal gun I get has a bent gun and I cant seem to get them straight. I am afraid of repeated stressing them till they break. How to fix this?
If it’s a thick barrel like for an anti tank gun, it will be strong enough to bend by hand until it looks straight. If it’s a smaller caliber like an AA gun, you have to be more careful - but if the gun is so bent that it’s unusable, you can always contact Warlord’s excellent customer service, and they will almost always send you a replacement part free of
Charge!
