Confused about the title? Horrified perhaps? Searching for my address as we speak so you may purge my heretical nonsense? Cool.
So, yeah, the picture below (Hope it works) is one I found a while back. They are Marines made out of Shoulderpads!  A part of me really wants to build them, perhaps even make the Ultra smurfs out of them! (Get it, Ultramarines? Short? Blue? No?  )
So the problem I have is that since it's a side shot, I can't see the torso and am not sure what it is made out of! If anyone has any idea on what they might be or suggestions as to what they COULD be, I would be MOST happy. At the very least I can rest knowing I CAN make them. (Because Gork only knows that I get none of my side projects done! )

Looks to me all you need is a normal torso with backpack, and alot of shoulderpads.

Hm, looks a tad short for that...but I guess it could work. Adds a bit more to the project than I really wanted. Eh...could work.

I made one a while back out of 8 blank shoulder pads 4 of em set up like a little pill, 2 for the feet, 2 for the shoulder pads, some normal marine arms cut off at the elbow, a cut down chainsword, a bolt pistol, and a normal backpack.
I'll post a pic if I can find the guy but I think we "killed" him, a.k.a lost him, when I moved.

"There are no wolves on Fenris" Sindermann had said
"Except, of course... for the wolves, ser?" he had replied.

The pen is mightier then the sword, but you must keep a sword handy for when the pen runs out of ink.

Shoulderpad egg...hmm. I found some shoulderpads I might be able to borrow from a friend. I'll see if I can whip up a sample and see how it looks.
MAN! That's a lot of shoudlerpads. XD
