Just some small round sprue. 2 pieces cut to the same length glued side by side ... I used the old banner pole bases and a bit of sprue to make these SM jump packs. So you could do similar, without using the banner pole bases.

Hi all, Looking for ideas for small rockets for the backs of minis to convert to stormboyz. I have seen Daves on here using Battlemech bits, but I don't want to order minis just to cannibalize and especially not from America. Also not sure how many stands I am going to make it may be a good few so don't fancy green stuffing the things. Been looking on the web but cant see much, also don't want to use the 40K epic ones as I am not to keen on the double tank, I want a decent sized single rocket if that make sense. Any ideas appreciated folks Regards Epic |

It'd be fiddly and time consuming but maybe make something out of plasticard? Get a plastic rod of appropriate thickness, cut it to size, shave or file down one end to a point. Maybe use a very thin saw to cut two lines at 90 degrees to each other in the underside then cut fins from thin plasticard and glue them in. For extra coolness have flame and smoke blasting out of the rockets packs, launching them up in the air. Have the orks be up in the air, individually held aloft from the base by wire pins with glued on sand and wire wool painted up as flames and smoke. |

Cheers for the ideas folks GlynnG yes I could well just cut down plastic pole and cut and shape or something along those lines  L4 cheers for the idea but its just a single rocket I am after mate but will steal your idea for future conversions on non greenskins  Dave, yes I had seen those but was also trying to get away without casting anything but may well have to  Another two options I have looked into, Golf tees I remember those been pointy on the end and I could chop of the pointy end and you can buy wooden or plastic ones very cheaply but cant remember how big they are ? Also found a website selling 6mm metal micro armies the also sell spare bits and add ons for the planes such as bombs, torpedoes, and extra fuel tanks but as with some of these companys no pictures and don't want to buy blind. Cheers for the advice folks much appreciated
