Tips on Hydra/Wyvern multi use

[Lordmoron]

Does anyone have any tips on how to build/convert the new Hydra/Wyvern kit so that it can be switched between the 2.

I can magnetise the ammo hoppers for both easy enough and switch them.
The 2 parts for each cannon can have magnets attached so that they can fit together and the hydra cannons can be fitted inside them.

My main issue is attaching the barrel ends for the Wyvern motor. I dont really want to pin them as it will leave holes visible when using the hydra. The barrel ends are too small to magnetise unless anyone sells a thin O magnets with right dimensions. Iron filing paint might also help with magnets but still no obvious place for magnets.

Any one had any sucess with the model?

To follow up on my previous post. I have now completed putting together the tank so that it is compatible to be used as either tank. It ended up being more complicated than I had originally hoped and will post photos up tomorrow.

For those interested the over view of what I did:

Magnetised all the ammo crates so that they could be swapped depending on main weapon choice (I had to cut of the notch that was on the weapon itselfs due to the location of the magnet in the ammo crate for the hydra). I stuck magnets on the inside of the weapon to line up with the ammo crate so that they would attach. (In future I would drill the magnets in on the outside as the magnets got in the way later on)

I then had to stick magnets in various locations so that both halves of the gun would stick together once set up.

Due to the location of the magnets to hold the ammo crates in place I had to trip down the support arm on the tank and also trim the tube on the inside of the weapon and placed a magnet inside to hold the gun together better.

After thinking about different ways to vary the loadout I decided the best option was to cut the Wyvern mortar tips in half and glue them to the end of the weapon so they would be permantly attached.

To have the tank set up as a hydra I magnetised the end of the barrel that is hidden inside of the tank and used greenstuff to place a magnet inside the gun to hold the hydra cannons firmly in place. I also had to trim both groove off the outside of the hydra tank so that the turrets would fit between the narrower wyvern barrel.

I hope that makes sense to people and I will add photos when I get chance. Hope this helps anyone thinking of how to set up the tank so it can work as both hydra and wyvern
