 Hey up Johnny here and on this Mantic Monday we are going to be learning how to build some of the vehicles for firefight. Starting with the Forge Fathers stern hammer we'll show you how to build the four different variants including the Dracar EPC transport vehicle and all pieces laid out here. So let's begin. Starting with the main chassis you can call it. We take two side pieces and you have two sets of tracks. What I have found easiest is if you work out which is the front which is that way you'll notice it's a little slight in there. A lot of these vehicles nicely dry fit first so you can test exactly what it is you need to be doing. So you'll see these little notches in the tires they fit in there like that and then this goes over the top so we'll just put a bit of glue on there so the tires go on there this then slides over the top like so and then we just repeat the process on the other side. Now I've been through and I've removed any bits of flash bits of mould lines that I can spot before we started this video so you can do that as you go along as well. Now we've got the sides done I'm going to move on and do the front so we need this piece and these two pieces this piece fits in these little grooves here like so and then these pieces slide in over the top a bit like that. You'll see there's little grooves down here for this to fit into there's a bit of a tight squeeze but slots in like that and as I say you've got these two little ridges here and probably just dab a glue down here for these to fit onto. I'll probably do is just put a little dab there and a dab there as well just hold that in place while it dries and then the same on the other side dab there dab there. Now as I've said earlier you can build the transport variant or any of the turreted stern hammer tanks and I'm going to show you a unique little trick that you can use to create both from the one same kit. This is the roof of the transport and you'll need one of these back pieces just remember which one it is so just try fit this on here for a second I think it's this larger door isn't it. Yep so it's the larger back compartment for the transport which I guess makes sense because you've got more people in it all those forge fathers have got to get out of the door somewhere. So you want these two pieces and you want you just need to double check it's the right ones yep these larger of the two that you'll see these corner pieces you want the larger of the two for the dracar because these then fit in there like so now you notice I'm doing this all off of the tank and all will be revealed why in a second so we just hold that in place with my finger like that while I just this in place well this one here sorry goes on there like so trying to get it nicely flush and then the same on the other side again they've got a little notch it just fits nicely on the end there into place now if you get this piece this is trickier because it should be glued down to this main tank but a bit of jiggery pokery in this piece here it's like the the window the top cab for the top of the dracar you'll notice this sits on here like that and then these both go on there like so and I'm going to glue these direct to this top compartment say a little bit tricky you can if you are only wanting to make build the dracar out of this kit and you've got no interest in in using it for the stern hammer then you can glue this straight to the actual tank and a thrifty auction and if I can get more than one model out of one kit then I will do so once this is dry it will clip nicely into here like so with no glue and there you have just bend that down your dracar and as I say beauty's not gluing that down you can take that off and once we've built the stern hammer the stern the gun turret piece will go on top instead so let's have a look at the next piece to one side for a second dracar bits come off look okay so we want these two pieces and these two little triangles that I had earlier there we go so very similar principle front and back together like so and then again your corner pieces you've got to remember how these ones go on so again a bit of a dry fit there you go in there like so now the slot for these ones is on this side so if you are building just the stern hammer then obviously a lot easier to glue that in place like that but I'm going to glue it in place on here so if you line these lines here up with the lines on the back you'll notice that this piece here just slides over the top of there so that goes like that again once that's dry you can then test fit it over the top okay so now we have the stern hammer back section on ready for the turrets before we do that I'm just going to finish off the front side we're putting the optional ram on the uh on the front see on the ramp these two little pieces that come in the smaller bag these clip on the front of the blade like so small blob of glue there making sure you've got the the rivets the detailed side that faces inwards same on this side and then these two pieces that stick out fit directly onto these blades here small bit of glue and what I found easiest is if I hold it like this have the tank on the uh on the table so I know the level and then slide it on like so making sure that it's central you can line this up with this line here and then by keeping it on the table like that you're making sure that the dose of blade isn't too low or too high set that aside for a moment while we work on the turrets okay so the first uh turret or first first little weapon we're going to do is the gun on the draka because I missed that there's a tiny little piece that just blobs in there and then just sits in that hole like so angle it whichever angle you might want you put it off center slightly less symmetry there we go right so we're going to look at doing the heavy magma cannon it's a really simple one four pieces all together uh sorry six pieces all together two main bits and then these little bits on the end so glob of glue I just go for some of the main corners the main straights doesn't need to be on every little bit the whole way around so it's got these little plugs with the line up and then that all clips in like so and then you see these two holes here again glob of glue and then you've got these end pieces you'll notice it's not a full circle it's two so the piece missing and that's so you can line them up like that without them spinning there we go and then you've got these let's slot this side the larger side you see there onto the end there it's all fairly straightforward everything has lugs or plugs to fit them in a certain place so almost like putting a jigsaw together there we go that's the heavy magma cannon done you notice that then sits line the hole up quite nicely in place there it is a little top heavy so it does fall if you don't glue it the other option is you could always put a magnet in here and then because that's a hole all the way down maybe put like a spare base or something underneath that hole and a magnet inside there and then you can do that with all the turrets and then you can swap the turrets out I'll show you an example the stern hammer I've currently been working on gave it a big silly turret and I have magnetized that in the same manner because as I say very top heavy that's going to fall over if there's no no magnet offering some sort of resistance that does that mean you can swap out the turrets and get as much value for your money out of these tanks so let's go and do the heavy hail storm cannons you're going to need one two three four five six pieces again starting with the two main sections of the turret again clip in with those little lugs this piece stops in there like so more bit of glue on either edge like that now this piece again you see two little lugs two little holes and it's not fully circular so you can see it goes this way around the piece there facing forward and find as if you put it in slightly off center and then slide it along it will find those two holes and then just press it down and then we've got the two sections of the actual gun barrels first the glue those two together so the holes on that side they go in like so and then these go this way so the longer barrel to the top shorter barrel to the bottom like that is that one done and then finally we have the dragon's breath flamer so again you notice I beat myself nice and simple two sections go together this piece wants to go in this little lug first then that goes over the top and holds that in place like so and then again two little holes there line up with these two and then the oval sorry the semicircle that goes over there like so and there we have it that's your dragon breath so from one kit we can get not one not two but three different variants of the stern hammer and then if we're clever as I say with hard gluing you can then take that off replace it with this one there we go you've also got your draka abc transport for all your forward fathers to travel on the merry ways thank you very much for watching I hope that was really helpful see you again soon
