PART TWO: NEW COMBI-FLAMER

Once again here are the materials we will be needing:

-Space Marine Combi-Melta
-plasticard tubing of different thicknesses
-brass tubing
-copper wire
-cheapy tube cutter ( you can get them at most hobby/craft stores for under $5 )
-clippers
-x-acto blade
-multiple drill bits
-pin vise
-supper glue

Step 1:

Use your blade to carefully remove the melta head and bolter muzzle off of the combi melta. Keep the muzzle someplace safe, unless you plan on scracth building a replacement

Step 2:

Drill a small hole big enough to fit your brass tubing in the " mid section " on the face of the bolter. A good center point would be near the top of the grip.

Dry fit your tubing and make adjustments as needed.. DO NOT GLUE ANYTHING YET

Step 3:

Fine some plasticard tubing big enough to slide over your brass tube, and using your tube cutter, cut a peice of tube about the length of a normal flamer head. Sorry no exact measurements here folks I did it all by eye. Once again, Do not use your clippers to trim your tubing, as you will only pinch the ends of the tubing and we dont want that

Step 4:

Dry fit everything together but DO NOT GLUE. Mark off where you plan to trim your tubing, remember to leave a mm or two sticking out of the front of the flamer head to form a nozzle. Once again using your tube cutter, trim your brass tubing to the appropriate length.

Step 5:

Now we will start building the Igniter. Using a really small drill bit, drill a tiny just beneath the first hole you drilled earlier. When youre done you should have something that looks like the picture below.

Step 6:

You may now glue your brass tubing in place. Secure a length of copper wire and glue it into the smaller hole.
