>this picture and the next are of Da Reel Big Basterd. i'll admit, this one is simply a repaint of one of my stepson's toys. originally, it was a torpedo on some sort of silly submarine. i looted the crap out of that toy when he'd outgrown it. got this bomb, several tanks, lots of hoses and tubing, some fins, etc. but anyway, all i did to this bomb was fill in a gap with green stuff, slap a magnet on it, and paint it up! woohoo. the other bomb may be smaller, but its a lil bit more complicated.< Attachments:

>and here's Da Big Basterd. it's not too difficult, but there was a lil but of cutting and trimming involved. the main body is, of course, ball point pen tube, just short of a half inch. the front end is one of the three "extra" nosecones from the Stormboyz box set. they give you several options, as usual, and they ALL end up in one of my several bitz boxes. the tail end is from the same set, but there was only one spare of that particular bit, unfortunately. it had one fin on it (the one at the top of this picture), and the other two i made out of badly cut bits of plasticard. deliberately badly cut, i might add. after that, just assembled it, glued a tiny bit of magnet on it, and painted it up. simple but pretty effective. hope you all like.< Attachments:

This is really cool. Looks like I will have to get a box of Storm Boyz earlier than expected.

on the plus side, 2 boxes will get you a ten-boy stormboyz mob, and you'll prolly be able to get 3-4 big bomms out of it. thank bob for kitbashing. i'll try really hard not to put brackets on stuff, even tho i've been doing it since we all started emailing, texting, IM-ing, etc. tough habit to break.
