http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net 40k, I decided to build a dreadmob army with all the dreads based on battletech mechs.
This topic will be about the biggest one yet: the Stompa.
I decided to model it after one of my favorite 100-tonners in MW4, which was called the Behemoth IIC, and give it an orky twist.
The body is made out of foam board I found in the dumpster, covered with old pizza boxes my fellow gamers left at my place.
The rest is just, well, you know how orks build

The whole thing is actually poseable with magnets and friction joints everywhere.
This is my first time posting, so consider this an introduction
Anyway, 'ere we go. Hope you enjoy!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571991/6409271.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571991/6409271.page GMT MW...

Stop eating Pizza, and eat more Cereal, Cereal box cardboard has a plastic coating, and is a great substitute for plastic card.
.
Here is a laundry list of inexpensive supplies;
.
Tools (Purchased);
Dykes; or heavy-duty wire cutters; NOT Sprue-Cutters (sprue-cutters are expensive and will get damaged when trying to cut metal or wood). Example; http://www.xs11.com/forum/images/tips/20020902-floatpinremove.jpg
Scissors; crappy or inexpensive, you are not a seamstress, so $1 ones will do fine when cutting stuff, if you need a more precise cut, you should probably invest in a straight cutting table or use a blade and metal ruler.
Metal Ruler; often called a Drafting ruler. Uses; guiding a straight cut, and measuring.
Hibachi skewers; (made of Bamboo) cost about $1 for a bag of 50 at local grocery store, great for spiky defenses, and etc…
Place-mat for dinner table; (made of Bamboo and other wood slat items) good for fences when cut.
 
Supplies (Found);
Wire Hangers; from the dry-cleaners. I prefer the plastic coated ones. (Cut-out the straight area and save). Then find a drill-bit the same size. Uses; pinning large items, axles on vehicles, BANNER-POLES, etc… Alternatively, LARGE paper-clips.
Broom (Old); (house/kitchen) with long Nylon bristles. Depending on stiffness can be used as Spears, Lances, Antenna arrays, poles, cabling, and etc…
Stir-Sticks; wood, (NOT Popsicle, they are treated and can have a to-finished look). From Starbucks for free with a cup-o-Joe or a box from Smart and Final for about $5. Uses; as wood, for everything wood; floors, bridges, fences, and etc…
Cereal Box Cardboard; Save the front and back of the Cereal-box or GW box, etc. the cardboard is treated and very solid. Uses, a VERY inexpensive substitute for plastic-card.
Rocks and Gravel; from your neighbor’s driveway (I Keed, I keed) Uses; boulders, and etc…
Old Toys; from your closet, from a yard-sale, and etc. Uses; BITZ for Orky stuff, rubble terrain, machinery, and etc…
Chopsticks; (fast food for free) Uses; large wood poles, fencing, supports, and etc…
Wrapping paper rolls; (thicker ones) Pringles can, oatmeal can, etc.
Telephone DSL Cabling (wires); they have 4-12 different colored wires inside
Pennies (or nickels fit ROUND base weights perfectly; if you are rich lol); (note; I have tried the washer and slug idea, trying to find the right size and driving around is not worth the penny, or the nickel) Alternatively, they can be cut in two (just off-center) to fit in the underside of the slotted-bases.
.
Keep up the Great work!!!
