   Here is the deal. I am building a warlord titan. I have been for a LONG time. I am getting to the point where if I see plasticard again I will scream. All I have left is to make a leg, and a set of 8 toes for those legs.

 

   I know that I can scratchbuild them from plasticard, but the thought of making 8 identical copies is frustrating, to say the least. I think my only other option is to find some object that looks like a toe, and then make an easy modification and glue them all on.

  I need a wedge-shape. I thought about a door-stop, but I couldn't find anything the right size. Any ideas guys?

Try half a plastic flower pot. They kind of toes come in all differnt sizes are easy to cut and cheap.

I would try using sand castle type buckets for the armored part of the legs, and door stops for the toes... atleast thats what I'm gonna do. I went to a home depot they have like 20 or so varieties.

How big do you need?

Based on the illustration in the apoc book, you could get away with wooden toy triangles gussied up with some simple rivets.

You could always use the doorstop and cut them to size if they're too big. Or take a walk through a toy shop....or a historic modellers shop and look at tank turrets....depends on how much money you wanna spend I suppose....

Make one from plasticard then make a simple mold of it and cast it in resin.  Since it is your own work, no copyright infringement is involved and you can make as many as you want.

I recommend looking at the bottom of his legs.  That is usually where I can find mine.
