I've popped some pics on the conversions thread, but I thought I'd pop them here too as...well, now I'm stuck ><
I'm looking at running a mek stompa, so I need to custom me up some weapons...namely, a lifta-droppa...
....and everything else, as the key information I've thus far neglected to mention is Mr Stompa started life as a happy little mr potato head.
Doesn't he look so happy?
So far my ideas include making the lifta look like a giant horse shoe magnet., and the othre guns to be made of of various types of tubing.
And the grot bomb things?
firing grot bombs from his gob seems like a cool idea...but, does anyone have the size details of the FW ones? I want to try and slot 3 in side by side, so this will most likely end up being a custom jobby. As for the feet, he will be properly stomping...not shuffling.
Yeah...fine, I've ripped off the ideas from IRONDOG studios...but only because its cool
So, yeah, if anyone has some quick 'n' easy ways to make grot bombs I'd appreciate it. Or any other cool ideas to put on, for that matter.
(And I shall be using a second one with mr potato head pirate bits in the near future )
Cant say that ive heard of using a mr potatoe head as a stompa, is a pretty sweet idea to me.
I cant really think of anyway of making a grot bomb really...unless say you took something maybe say an empty GW paint pot and model a cone nose around that, some fins...and cut into it to make room for the grot. course im not sure how much room you have to play with..but that might be a start
As for other things, the lifta droppa...I like the idea of the horseshoe magnet, not sure how to go about it though
hope theres some things to mull over
oooh another thought...could just have a big gun in the middle when the mouth opens?

I wish I could take credit for an original idea...but that'd be evil xD My little sister got it with a bunch of assecories at a bootsale for £2.50, and I already had plasticard etc so at the moment its considerably cheaper than the GW model

Yeah, I did think of a paint pot but its a wee bit big.

Well I'm hoping I can either get a few small ones/make a few out of plasticard and make it look like some giant magnets have been tied/bolted together lol. Just a case of finding a place that might sell them, since making little ones sounds like effort to me lol
oooh another thought...could just have a big gun in the middle when the mouth opens?
Well, another idea I'm mulling over is having a super-gatla hidden in the gob for a nasty suprise
YEA! A B.F.G. right in its mouth (no, not THAT gun)
Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant, "If I Die, You are forgiven. If I Live, I will kill you." Such is the Rule of Honor.
maybe a bellygun i always think that potato heads are too stumpy-so i scratchbuilt a head to make mine bigger!
95% of teens would go into a panic attack if the jonas brothers were about to jump off the empire state building, copy and paste this if you are the 5% who would pull up a lawn chair & grab some popcorn and yell JUMP
BITCHES!!!!!
Actually that was alot funnier in my head. O well.
Isnt everything or an orky nature better in thought than when it comes into action..."yeah we've got a ded killy gun dat sumtimes kills da umies....sumtimes da boyz asplode"

Here's a few pics for possible inspiriation (interestingly enough, I just typed "Supa Lifta Droppa" into Yahoo and BOOM! Would you believe I found these? Crazy, I know...):

How about using an Estes Model Rocket? I'm sure they have some around the appropriate dimensions. If not, they do have bits you can buy to just make your own. Like the nose cones, for example.
feet still WIP, and Im going to do the ork teef on the foot thing...now before I fell bad for ripping another irondog idea I had the idea before I even looked at how they did the feet lol xD
Now its just a case of filling/plasticarding gaps up to make them more mechanical and stompa-y (but I too shall keep the laces). What I've done for the legs is put 2 coke lids for hip joints, then one on each foot...now its just a case of adding piping etc to make them look....well, even moar stompy.

lol I was thinking that too
edit:
Obligatory comparison shot with a looted spaec mareenz dread (which is also 100% moar stompy than its marine counterpart :p):
Please excuse the blur, but you get the idea.

lol thanks ^^
the only thing I'm missing is the hat, but since my sister only paid £2.50 at a bootsale I'm not complaining. It's still significantly cheaper than GWs ork shuffla lol
MrToxichazard wrote:Hows the stompa going then, update us before we die of.....eagerness overload :p
lol well I'm adding some detail to the feet atm, but I need some miliput or something to fill in gaps which sadly I lack to Monsieur stompatron is kind of on hold at the moment.
