A Proppa Engine?
I found a rather interesting piece from an old zoids model. It seems begging for me to use it as the engine, or at least center of the engine, for this stompa save for a few details: 1) It's a bit more.. how shall I say, streamlined? Than would suit an ork vehicle. I think, anyhow. It's got lots of fluting and stuff that I think is a little elaborate for the purpose of a stompa. 2) It's not my own creation.
1 I don't actually have as much a problem with as I do 2 - I'm thinking that if I'm making this thing, I might as well make it and not use shortcuts like this - but it does fit fairly well, honestly. I'm thinking I'm going to whip out some plasticard and roughly copy the design and shape, but not to a T, so I have a reasonable facimile that doesn't look more elaborate than would befit the stompa. I realize I've already used parts from something else at the piece that connects the legs, but consider that that won't be nearly as visible, focal, or important as the engine will.
