Scratch built riptide.. Feet.

[irondreddknight]

So first off, apologies for this post being about ... ahem, tau. But I've recently acquired a riptide that is missing its feet. So I'm thinking of converting my own.
Do any of you have any knowledge of how this can be done? I'm at a loss. Many thanks

What you missing? the entire leg? or just the "foot" ?

[irondreddknight]

Just the feet.

I will look around.. I think I have a pair of stormsurge feet laying around... might be a good start (if I can find em at least...)

I don't own a stormsurge myself, but from pictures I've seen on GW's website, I think the stormsurge feet would be too big on the riptide legs? What were your thoughts?

The storm surge feet are a bit big, but could probably be used as a starting place, like while the riptide toes are "spread out" could make the stormsurge ones as more less spread foot.. I dun know just probably me being random again ^^

I like how you think outside the box.
Panic over, I managed to find a company who sell re sculpted parts. They looked good quality, so I picked up a pair of feet for £3
Thanks for your help though Koyori 😊

No worries, I just knew I had those feet left over from when I used a extra pair of surge legs as arms for my surge..

Anyway.. let us know how those parts turns out ok?

[irondreddknight]

No problem, I'll leave the name of the website I used If they turn out to be good quality.

I like your idea of using extra legs as arms for the stormsurge. I never liked the model with cluster rockets instead of arms. id be interested to see some pictures, if that's possible.
