Goblin Secret Weapons from junk!

The other week I picked up a junk lot of models from ebay. There were a number of old Citadel and Marauder goblins in the lot, including this unhappy looking pair with just one foot between them:

I have load of 2nd edition goblins and snotlings I was considering turning into a team, but had no secret weapons. I spent yesterday evening with my bits box and this is the result:

The pogoer was made with the addition of a pair of dwarf feet I had kicking around in my bits box (don't ask), a length of plastic rod, a cross piece cut from the other goblin's spear, and a spring from an engineering pencil.

The looney received a peg leg (from his own original spear) and a chainsaw made from an imperial guard chainsword and space marine scout biker boltgun. I thought the pose was just asking for a pull cord ignition, so made one by drilling through the hand into the chainsaw and adding a section of paperclip.

Hopefully a fairly decent end result considering the inauspicious starting point :)

I would have been tempted to use a small length of chain for the pull cord - right now it looks a little like a very thin exhaust to me..

but great "salvage" work as always.. you're the Steptoe and Son of TFF.. :wink:

Pegleg chainsaw Goblin is a brilliant concept. Very well done from "junk" to boot.

@Norse - I kind of see what you mean...a chain would have been a bloody nightmare though ;-)

What about some thick thread, so it looks like rope?
