I'm currently lucky enough to have snagged a ruined Stompa model for zero dollars, which is missing enough parts that I don't think I want to bother trying to cobble it together as a tabletop unit, but I think might make a killer centerpiece for an ork scrapyard terrain board.

The idea I had for it was classic Gorkamorka style work-in-progress construction site, and I thought sprue might make a good basis for a scaffolding structure around the sides and on top. I was going to separate the arms and head to use in other buildings (suspended from cranes or held by grabba klaws while the mekboyz work on them.

Has anyone come across any good guides or tutorials for achieving that construction?

"Got you, Yugi! Your Rubric Marines can't fall back because I have declared the tertiary kaptaris ka'tah stance two, after the secondary dacatarai ka'tah last turn!"

"So you think, Kaiba! I declared my Thousand Sons the cult of Duplicity, which means all my psykers have access to the Sorcerous Facade power! Furthermore I will spend 8 Cabal Points to invoke Cabbalistic Focus, causing the rubrics to appear behind your custodes! The Vengeance for the Wronged and Sorcerous Fullisade stratagems along with the Malefic Maelstrom infernal pact evoked earlier in the command phase allows me to double their firepower, letting me wound on 2s and 3s!"

"you think it is you who has gotten me, yugi, but it is I who have gotten you! I declare the ever-vigilant stratagem to attack your rubrics with my custodes' ranged weapons, which with the new codex are now DAMAGE 2!!"

"...which leads you straight into my trap, Kaiba, you see I now declare the stratagem Implacable Automata, reducing all damage from your attacks by 1 and triggering my All is Dust special rule!"

You can find excellent examples of Orky scaffolding by looking at pictures of any Balfour Beatty construction project.

IMO, you don't need a tutorial; you need some photos of scaffolding, a sketchpad, a bit of elementary maths for figuring out hypotenuses and you'll be good.
