I am trying my best to build a second stompa out of some metal scrap and junk, this being my current stage of progress as I try to magnetize a power klaw on this and well...find some way to make the shoulders and head look decent before decending into griblying.

Here are few other photos from earlier:

Looking forward to see how this develops. Always enjoy seeing hobby from bits and junk!

That's a lot of good detail so far. I approve.

For today I had little progress testing some ideas, mainly basic shape of turrents, these two are ones I will probably finish but wanna do mroe different looking ones, as well as possibly making some basic cannons .

Also reduced size of the jaw since it was a bit too high for my liking (last time my stompa had too big of a head now making it flat and wide, but not tall).

Laslty with some help got my hands on an old anti bug sprayy that is probably some 40 or more years old, gonna use the can to make the pauldrons

Cut apart the old can and got nice shoulders going, will be attaching them later, for now just putting everything together to see how it looks. So far I am rather happy with the result, next up will probably make few more "turrents" and afterwards start working on the head and back.

Got some more progress down, the head is taking shape I rather like, and I got couple of towers to be added later as well, now it's not much left, just to do the back itself with some decorations then I can start doing the small detail work.

A little test set up of it with all the turrents, might add more and more belly cannons

General silhouette I wanted, now I will be starting to fill in all the gaps and holes, and start patching progress to give it that orky feel, while also adding minor details all over the place. I all goes well I should be done in a month or two.

Lots of nice progress!

First layer of detail work, will be adding a lot more to the body itself once I am done patching holes with plastic

The end of plasticard is almost there, as I finish general structure work, now I can start gluing on various bits of plasticard bits and peaces.

Not sure if there is enough patchwork on the belly or should I increase it by a lot.

The build is developing really nicely, I would definitely add more layers to build it up more. Keep on hammering away, this is great to see grow!

Progress after few days of gluing on patchwork




Not super happy with the gun side from the back, might just put on some filling on it and then go and put on some rust.



The claw arm has a lot of plasticard stuff done on it and I feel I should perhaps make a lot of plasticard glyphs to just cover the stompa with.

I like where this is going!
That will be a mean machine when it's done.

Little progress today, but at least started the process of doing up all the rivets, once that is done I will put on some glue and texture dust for well...rust texture (and to gap fill some areas) and once that is done I will try to get to priming, that might take a while.

Now I am trying to find a good way to make some rust on the gaps.

It is now primed, I will try working on the painting it, most likely starting with airbrushing of some browns and then looking for good patchwork armor colors.

This gets more exiting with each new development!
Looking forward to see it with more color.

First, thin layer of brown, will add more, still working out the colors.

Looking good! Lots of little details.

Not best at this still, but I will try to layer on some rust.

Loving this. Did something similar with a yoghurt pot a couple of years back, so I can feel your pain when it comes to the rivets!

Yes yeeees! Live! LIIIIIIVE!!!

Here it is right now, using pink to give nice base layer for yellow, if all goes well tomorrow I should be done with most of yellow work, then I will go and start working on the grey parts and rusts and then metalic bits.

Last post for time being, as I have finished the stompa now











It took me 25 days to finish, but I am happy with the end result, nice big propa stompa

I'd be happy to face this bad boy on the opposite end of the table from me.

Well done, Paul! Much props, many accolades!

Welll done sir! It’s a great effort!

may a pic of it beside a normal one for comparison?

Or besides a Space Marine or Ork Boy or something. For scale.
