Ork Boy Hangin' off a Trukk

Ok, so I am making a Fluffy Bunny Ork army. in pink and hawk Turquoise (There light red and blue to me, I'm a guy, only 16 colors allowed) and plan to give the boyz bunny slippers, I was thinking about using cotton around there boots air brushed pink and then putting two black dots for eyes, given my modeling skills (Or lack there of) This was my only real option.

How ever, do to recent events (how the frack dos Michel's not sell cotton balls!) I can't find any cotton... Can any one point out where I might be able to find them?


I already thought about just buying 50 bottles of aspirin but they don't use cotton any more :(

Try a grocery store - they should be in the same aisle as nail polish and nail polish remover.

Make sure you model a greenstuff bathrobe on your warboss, and a bunch of curlers in her hair-squig, and a cigarette drooping from the corner of her mouth. Your objective markers should be pink flamingos that have been knocked over, complete with motocross bike tracks across them.
Remember, poor people have the luxury of bad taste, use it!

Sally's Beauty supply, if ther eis one in your area will have cotton balls of different sizes. Also if you try a medical supply store they hay have "hard" cotton balls. (I know they make super hard cotton sticks, the kind that dentists shove in your mounth. We used to stick 'em in our nose when I was in wrestling if it got all bloody)

Come to think about it, Walgreens ought to have some too. Look where they keep the make-up or in the first aid isle, near the rubbing alchohol.

That's horrific, but nicely done.

It seems as though cotton balls would be an insult meaning you're not manly enough, now that I think about it...
