I mentioned my idea in a previous thread of same type. This will be my work in progress thread:

Aquapod bottle. I filled it full of plaster leaving off the top which I didnt want then cut the plastic bottle off of the plaster.

 

[maverik2988]

alright keep it up. The aquapod bottle has a perfect shape for it nice idea

 

[swarbieofthehivemind]

Yeah, you've got the basic shape pretty much perfect there. Now go and add details!

 

[xXClaret-PaulXx]

Great start! I look forward to seeing how it turns out!

 

[ShotgunFacelift]

I like where this is going.

Spam approves.
I'll keep an eye on this, with a nice bit of rep at the end for you

Starting my 4 days off so should get some more work done. i did round out the top a bit more and filled in some imperfections on the surface.

 

[SpartanSoldierII]

I agree, and tyranid terrain is pretty hard to make (good terrain, anyways). This already looks great though

Oh no, when spam approves... duck!

anyway, nice shape there so far! Are you building this for the new codex or as terrain?

keep up the good job!

 

[Tyrius]

Here it is currently. The texture has some veiny/membrane look to it. I am waiting on some carapace pieces from a friend that i am gonna run up in lines
.

 

[maverik2988]

good so far keep it up

Subscribed. This is extremely interesting, as I'm building my Tyranids up for the new codex. I too am planning/looking forward to using Spore Pods. Although, I'm sure I don't have the sculpting talent to pull off any detail.

 

[Renosaurus]

I think I would make spore pods like a sort of flower. like, leaves, joined ad the botom, and folding open.

but then, make it look like a vile think, not some beautifull flower

otherwise, nice work I want to see the result

 

[Tyrius]

Been looking around for something to run up the sides to look more niddy. The idea being the pod is a veiny winglink casing around the things and would open up with something like a drop pod. The thing I am looking for is like the tyranid capillaries running up the sides. I have seen something done with what I believe is some insulating foam spray that comes in a tube and when it tries it leaves bubbles but remains somewhat hard.

Is a link to a product similiar to what Im thinking and just shape it up the sides and let it dry. I will have to test how it reacts to paint a primer though once its hard.
GREAT STUFF

Good going, i found a video on youtube that looks real easy to make. All you would need to add is expanding foam and youll be done XD.

Yeah its funny. I was building mine to the stage it was in and couldnt come up with a way to do the things up the side and then found his. We even used the same sculptey to make them and both went with a veiney and nearly same shape.
