I'm playing around with the idea for an ork stompa. Here's a large yogurt tub with a spray can lid on top with a Boy standing next to it for scale. Does this look about right? If so, I'll add posts for the arms next and figure out what I want to do for the feet.

**nidsmaster**

i would say that looks pretty good size wise, maybe it could be a little bit taller?

**Belphegor**

Looks a touch narrow.
A pair of 1/2 yogurt containers would have a better diameter.

**Ifurita**

It'll be slightly taller with feet and extra stuff on top of the head

**nidsmaster**

yeah, i would say with some big stocky looking feet it shud be about the perfect height

**nidsmaster**

this link shud be a good source of inspiration for ur stompa, i think they look pretty good, this is wat im gonna base mi stompa on wen i get round to starting it!!

The scale feels great to me.

Just make sure you give him some wide, bulky feet.

**Ifurita**

Any good suggestions on what to use for the feet?

Looks a little thin, but it will probably look right when it's fleshed out a little more.

Stompas should probably be a little larger than a baneblade.

I swapped out the yogurt tub for a small kids pail. Same height, but wider at the base.

i would of said wait till you get the arms somewhat made. those are gunna bulk that puppy out alot. and obviously try and make the feet outta plasticard. thatd be the easiest I LOVE ORKS!

**pcon426**

maybe a little taller

**sleazy**

whos to say what size it should be, orks dont exactly follow a template. As long as it looks super-heavy then you're good to go. A lot of stompas seem to be bigger than they should be. Remember that concept art for a plastic stompa? that was nowhere near gargant sized.

If you have access to say, Tic Tac mints.. those containers might just work for the feet...

I have some end pieces from some wood blinds. I may cut the corners off those and use those for the basis of the feet.
