Turbine Style Jump Packs, made from pens!

[Comm_Nagrom]

so i ended up making a vanguard unit out of my left over marines but i didn't have jump packs for them, so i set about making them. I have for you here a short tutorial of how to make your own:

Materials:

a papermate ball-point pen, its cap, some plasticard and of course...

your marine

Step 1:

probably the most important step, REMOVE THE INK!

Step 2:

slice off the bottom nub of the pen about 3/4 the way up

Step 3:

slice off the top of the cap about half way in the middle

Step 4:

line up the pieces like they would be if they were still attached to the pen and insert the bottom into the cap so you get something like this:


Step 5:

take the plasticard and cut a small band to fit around the "turbine"

Step 6:

Glue it on and secure it tight (as you can see i used a small binder clip which worked nicely), and you will get something like this:


Repeat the process again for the other side and glue onto either side of your marines old back pack and viola:

one jump pack for your assault marines, or raptors or whatever else, add other decoration as you see fit

and all that for under a dollar a jump pack (with only a mild amount of work), better than buying the bitz any day

C&C as you please
