Hello my fellow dakka-ites! I was walking through my local DIY store and saw some plastic flower pots and thought "shin armor!" Do you think this is a good enough reason to start a warlord?

I'd look for what you're going to do for legs as well. It always seems to me that people who scratch build these models always make them with really thin legs.

in answer to the question, YES it's enough reason, but personally i fnd the feet and pelvis section to be the most difficult. If you don't have an idea about these I wouldn't splash the cash until you do. I've wasted money rushing into a project before only to get stuck and end up giving up.

Ive been plannig on making the legs out of maybe 2"pvc. do you think this would work?

I have paint, I concider that reason enough to make anything, even if I seldom get around to auctualy painting anything.
