One of my Mark V Ogres is missing two of the secondary
batteries, so I
made a pair of substitutes out of brass tubing. Unfortunately, I could
not
get the mussles of the guns anything close to correct. So, I snipped
them
off about halfway down their length, used pliers to mangle the ends, and
then used a dremel tool to make craters and some awfully big bullet
holes
in the hull. It painted up pretty well--white annd red body, with the
"craters" being painted black, with black paint drybrushed on to radiate
away from the holes. A bit of silver at the very bottom of the hole,
and
the scars were done. It was an easy effect, and one that I may well
repeat
somewhere down the line.
