Ripper-vore

[CylonDorado]

Ok, here's the long short of it, I plan on getting a thing of warriors this christmas, and using it to make two biovores and two warriors. For one of the biovores I thought it would be cool if there was a large gun proped up by rippers, that is connected to a ripper with a large egg sac (like the queen in Aliens) that gives birth to spore mines. I was just wondering if anyone would have any suggestions as to what I should make the "egg" sac out of. Also, do you think it would be cool?

For the egg sac, I would probably go out and get some ball bearings or little plastic beads or something. Ideally something a little bit smaller than the round bit of a Spore Mine. Glue them together into an irregularly shaped mass, and then cover that with a thin layer of putty, so the bumps still all stand out. Basically, I'm thinking you should end up with something looking like the ammo pod on the Barbed Strangler feeder arms. Actually, a Carnifex Barbed Strangler would probably be the best bit to base the gun itself on.

As far as whether it would be cool or not, that's all going to be in the execution. The concept definitely has potential, but truly making it work will depend on all the little details of how you model it.

awesome idea, i hope you dont mind if I borrow it.

Hmmm, beads and putty does sound like a great idea. It deffinatly sounds better than my idea of using the thick part of one of those rubber worm fishing lures, what with the bumps and all. Also, feel free to use the idea, I'm glad anyone would want to use it.

green stuff and putty would seem aproppriate
