hi everyone.

do you have any empty paint pots? when dont throw them out!

their cheap killer kanz! it just needs some legs, a view port, a gun and a close combat weapon.

heres an example:

C:\Documents and Settings\fred2017\Dokumenter\Billeder\paint pod to killer kan.bmp

its wery simple with a good result, and you get some pictures then i find my cable to my camera

**LunaHound**

Hehe

Link doesn't work. (or is it just me)

**Freddie Gibbs**

yeh i just tried to draw something so it dont work, but do you think the paint pot -> killa kan idear is good?

**SagesStone**

Link doesn't work because you can't link to the picture on your computer like that. You have to upload it somewhere like the Dakka Dakka Gallery, then post a link to it there.

Great Idea though

He is about 75% done (before paint) and is weighing in at $10.40

Here is a preview:

**Freddie Gibbs**

its a pretty good start for a beginner.

**greenskin lynn**

I used a reaper paint pot as the base of a kan, its a touch bigger then the gw ones

**Freddie Gibbs**

let me guess. valkyrie heavy bolters?

and all have grotzookas (even the metal one)

That's actually not bad. The initial MSPaint drawing left me pretty skeptical, but those are pretty entertaining. Not sure how well cardboard/cardstock holds paint though; I've got no experience with it.

**Freddie Gibbs**

theres no cardboard. the cardboard-lookin stuff is actually a credit card i found torn apart someplace.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
its as good as plasticcard.

btw, where can i find plasticcard?

Automatically Appended Next Post:
i got enough of cardboard. its hard to glue in place

**Brother SRM**

Google "Plasticard" or "sheet styrene" and you'll get tons of good places.

Few problems can't be solved by Google!

Also, don't make new posts after each other - just use the edit function

**Freddie Gibbs**

n srry for the mess btw.

ok thanks for the tip bout editing.

**jamessearle0**

hmm... don't mean to be mean but... they just look like paint pots with bits stuck on them...:S

**Freddie Gibbs**

so what? their not painted yet. they probably looks better once painted

this ^^^ looks like a model

the other stuff just looks like a paint pot with random bits of card and plastic stuck on it, if your doing the paint pot thing cover it in plasticard or something other wise....

**Freddie Gibbs**

yeh i remember that then im building more

**tblock1984**

I think the paint kanz look great!

**Pipboy101**

I love the kans made from the old eggy sentinals.

**Freddie Gibbs**

i dont think its sentinel legs. it rather looks like legs from those penance engines (or whatever the name is) cuz sentinel legs aint metal.
