Hey everyone!
I am currently working on a very very customized termy and i need to make ammo belts to hang over him. any ideas how to make one?
I was thinking styrene tube and green stuff.

Styrene tube and green stuff is probably your best bet.

how could i add the tip to them then? or would i have to model each one out of green stuff?

If you want to, but personally, I wouldn't bother adding a tip to each round.

Would cocktail sticks be too thick? Otherwise you could shave down the ends with a hobby knife, cut off the length then repeat.

I assume we're talking bolter or heavy bolter rounds since it's for a Termie.

I would guess this is for an assault cannon termi? Few suggestions...you can either cut a bunch of exposed rounds from the chaos bolters (that could get messy though). Easier may be to get the ork big shoota model that has them laying across his arms already. The ork kommando with big shoota has it (but i think its metal) and there is a plastic one in the ork boyz box. But i could also see using chewing sticks. Pretty much thicker toothpicks. Just snip part of the tip, not the entire thing, and call it hollow point rounds.

There is some bits on some sprue that could be used. There is some on kroot.

I know this site is UK-based but you could probably find an equivelent in the US -

might be a bit fine for 40K so maybe try 1/35th rather than 1/48th.

For 1/48th in the US try -

Thanks everyone! I think im going to o with a mix. I'm going to try styrene with the sharp part of toothpicks glued on.
