Super Freak
If i could only buy one i would choose Cleaner Kit one.
Yea I been wanting to do that for ages. Any easy ways of doing so without having to break anything? Doubt it right?
I just customized my wolf pred today it took me 30 minutes to custom paint it and adjust the plasmacasters.....looks freaking beautiful.
Looks awesome Empir3. Time to get those should cannons modded though.
haha thanks, yea i have not looked up how to do that yet any pointers?
Damn the posts that describes how it's done is really old. You can hire some of the experts we got here. Some people will get the mod done and paint it for you for a small fee I'm sure.
Okay, here's a brief tutorial for anyone who wants to fix Wolfie's cannons. You'll need a few basic tools for the job, I added pics of the ones I used as examples.
With a sharp edged tool, carefully split apart the lower end of each cannon mount arm. You just have to open it enough so that you can pop the ball-ended part out of the socket. (There's a plastic pin molded inside one side of the socket, which goes through the ball). Be patient, and watch your fingers!
You'll end up with two ball-ended pieces with holes through them, still attached to the armour. (Pic 3.) Fill both of the holes with epoxy putty and set them aside. Cut the plastic pins out of the sockets of the cannon arms. Smooth the inside of the small cup-like space on the pin side of each piece.
Cut a small piece of foam or other "spongy" material and shape it to fit inside the other half of the socket. (I used small pieces of polyurethane foam to fill the insides of the sockets. You'll need to use something similar to create a small amount of tension against the ball, or the joint will be too loose.) Add a drop of super glue to the little foam pad and glue it in place, making sure it's centered in the shallow hole. (Pic 6.)
When the putty is hard, sand it smooth and test fit everything. Add more foam as needed, and when you're satisfied you have the correct amount of tension inside the joints, carefully glue the ends of cannon arm halves together again. Press the sides of the joint firmly together until the glue sets up. Touch up the paint as needed and you're good to go!
1. From top to bottom: X-acto knife, sprue cutters, small half-round woodcutting gouge, surgical scissors, and polyurethane foam pieces.
2. Close up of tools. Note the small bits of black plastic that need to be removed from inside the sockets at lower ends of each cannon arm.
3. Armour with mount base complete, cannon arm removed.
4. Ball joint piece filled with Milliput epoxy putty.
5. Ball joint on mount base filled with putty.
6. Left: Socket of cannon arm w/foam insert. Right: Completed ball joint assembled in arm.
7. Modification completed. This mod allows for complete original articulation of cannon with added lateral rotation of the mount arms.
8. Wolfie's cannons can now articulate like they were supposed to!!!
Hey Empir3. Found the old post from Mudshark with the pictured tutorial from waaaay back. Hope this helps. It's a pretty easy to do mod.
Awesome man thanks so much ill see if i can do this hopefully tonight when i get home from work .

Looks awesome dude. No prob. Thank more to Mudshark. He did all the hard work. Now you need to paint those cannons. Make it movie accurate.
Time for me to repost some old Wolf pics. For those of you who haven't seen it.
