Well, I have this model -

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat1300130&prodId=prod1060132

and I hate the little monster, so I want to replace it with a powerklaw... But first of all, could someone give me some few tips how to make my own powerklaw? I tried out with some normal paper for the lulz, and it didn't work out that well (surprise!) And what tools do you use when you remove pieces from metal models?

You'd be wanting plasticard for the PK. I haven't personally made one, but I have seen several good ones. Personally though, I'd just go for a spare Nob's PK or possibly even a deff dread PK. As for removing the hand, well clippers should work just fine if you filed it down afterwards.

Hurray another Ork player. Welcome to the greentide.

Anywho, I use 2 different dremels for metal removal and a saw. 1 dremel is high powered, to basically take gobs of metal off fast. Then a low speed dremel for detail and getting in closer. Then the saw (a jewelers saw) is great for hacking off arms and heads and such.

There are ALOT of tutorials on dakka on how to build a PK from scratch. I took some from someones thread along time ago. Let me dig them up and Ill post the pics for ya

Scratch that, I must of deleted them lol. Seriously tho, just do a dakka search and youll find a few really good tutorials

hey, i did that once.

I scratch built a P-klaw for my biker boss out of plastic card. Didn't write up a proper tutorial, but here's a few pics to help you get shapes right:

Basically, you're making a large metal boxing glove, and adding some piston powered claw blades.





I also added a power pack on his back to provide the juice.




Conversely, you can always give him a buzz saw instead of the standard claw shape. With orks you really can't go wrong. Share pics when you get to working on it!

First of all, thank you all for your quick answers and sorry for my slow reply!

To Teek - Where can I get plasticard? I decided to google it but I just came to some random hobby websites with no pictures on this material. And no, I can't take pictures of my Warboss, I have no working camera. : ( Need to buy one soon tbh!
