Fixing the Space Marine Centurion

At this point I need to point you to this article, which forms the start of this project.  Simon over at Master of the Forge, posted a great tutorial on how he went about fixing the Centurion.  Looking at Simon's tutorial is essential to understanding what I've done.  I did not opt to narrow the shoulders, and I added the piece removed from the feet to the bottom of the siege drill piece. This added a bit of extra height.  I opted not to make new leg armor, but uses groin armor plates as kneepads.  I extended the hydraulics with some sections of styrene tubing.

But most importantly, I took the underslung heavy bolters and made them into pistols.

Here's the back side of them.

Next, I'll be removing the iconography from the right shoulder pads, and adding my small 3d printed raven symbols, cleaning up those ugly mold lines and getting these ready for a coat of black primer.
