Drop Pods... They're So Bloody Expensive!

I already own three, one of which is a Dread Claw conversion... But they're sitting in the middle east with no hope of reaching me untill long after I move to Austria come August. Bummer. I need four for my 'Ard Boyz Semis list...

Solution?

Paper Pods!

Found some nice templates on the interwebs at the yahoo group BWC. Gonna construct four basic pods with slight alterations to the template to make 'em Claws... Should cost me under 10 bucks total and easily pass for playable models. Paper board seems thick enough to do, but if not I've got plenty of GW boxes that I can chop up to make work.

Still gonna have to buy two more Dreadnoughts for my list though... Then it's back to painting.
Hopefully I place well at the Semis to make all the expenses worth while. Wish me luck.
