Rescuing THE WORST Warhammer model on eBay

[@XPoeticRenegadeX]

Working in retail for 20 years, I immediately noticed those green guns all over the front were repurposed register receipt roll tubes. Lol

[@kitathegoblin536]

Is it bad that half the time I make terrain half of it is 3d printed and the other half is glued together bunches of the supports and flat panels, sometimes I add the panels and supports onto my ork boy vehicles, because da orks don’t followz da rulz

Kinda wish you would have incorporated the ridiculous amount of forward guns the original artist had went for but again, amazing restore and techniques!

[@areshseptango9619]

Same, even just one

[@TheCosmere64]

might as well just have bought a new stompa at that rate

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

I thought about it for a long time, even tested a few ideas, but once I pulled out those claw tractors I knew I wanted to use one. If I ever get another one of these, and there's a good chance I will, I would like to try for a chest gun upgrade. I know Forgeworld sells a kit for it, not that I would use that, but it's definitely a thing that this model can be equipped with, so someday there might be a receipt roll put into a Stompa surrounded by a massive amount of well-modeled cannons....someday

[@Khadharphak]

It's a shame cause it's the real good spark of ingenuity the original had, just a belly full of bristling guns for as much dakka as possible, if it had been done using a gallery of kannons, zzzaps and looted artillery from other races, maybe set up some scaffolding along the sides so numerous orks and grots can man them all, it would've been really unique and cool.

[@seth5226]

Yeah. This feels like borderline clickbait tbh. It's a great 'save', of the underlying model, but at the cost of that something special that made the original neon monstrosity so interesting in the first place.

[@McCool117]

I loved this rescue. However the cluster of guns on the body were a main feature of the original model, and I was hoping you'd carry that across to the rescue. Not with the exact same tubes used on the original of course, but sort of like a new and improved version of the original idea.

[@faithfullukodureg2140]

I also hoped the gun cluster would stay. Its hideous but something an ork would think of

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Originally I was wanting to go down that road, but when I pulled out the claw tractors I was really sold on trying to make that work. I really liked the idea that the Stompa was like a mobile armory that could open up and let lose some ridiculous machine to snatch people up.

[@McCool117]

@@eBayMiniatureRescues yeah I noticed that. It is pretty cool. Maybe when you get your next Gargant 😏

[@RealityRogue]

@@eBayMiniatureRescues still cool, but I feel like it removed what made people want you to buy this in the first place. It’s just a normal nice looking stompa now. :/

[@Tistaminis]

Thanks for saving this model and giving it a second coming. I'm glad to see it served a bigger purpose in it's life and bring joy / entertainment to so many viewers. Had a few customers reach out to us regarding your video after they saw it, did not realize it was going to you for your channel. I agree the price was definitely over inflated but glad we were able to work out the deal. The one thing I thought they did a decent job on was magnetizing the arms for this thing. For some extra background for anyone who might be interested. I purchased this from an individual near Peterborough, ON roughly 3 years ago. He was getting out of the hobby and probably had the largest Orks lot I have ever purchased (I think I paid $3,000 for everything). There were a bunch of other models in the similar green paint scheme, 300 boys, 100 grots, 20 killa kans etc. I'm a bit hazy on the details but when he showed me the model he told me it was scratch built from spare parts he had found, so I guess he didn't have the front plate and came up with the "cannons" to fill in the gap. This stompa actually has a twin brother out there somewhere, but not as gruesome and without the receipt rolls. I think I saw in the comments someone said they bought it so that might be the one they are referring to. When I went to grab this out of the storage one of our customers saw it and freaked out "What is that thing!" haha. Anyways thanks again and keep up the good work!

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Thank you for what you guys do for the community! There have been numerous supporters leaving comments on how great you guys are as a store, both digital and especially physical, and that’s amazing to hear! I also very much appreciate the extra background details as I don’t always get more info on most of the models I come across. Thanks again for the excellent model, it’s made a great piece for my own collection and a fun story to share :)

[@CrizzyEyes]

Honestly, despite the total lack of paint other than green primer, I appreciate the original vision the artist was going for. I can definitely see some crazed Big Mek putting together the vision of his dreams. The ultimate dakka platform. With each salvo the stompa would potentially fall over, and so would thousands of its enemies.

[@SpicyTrifongo]

If orks had children and orks had kindergarten it looks exactly like what an ork kindergartner would make and because of that it was precious.

I mean let's be honest, every month is a good time to paint some Orks! I do like those little guys peaking out, ads a lot of fun character :)

[@Ohnonoki]

Not keeping the insane amount of chest guns was a mistake. It was the soul of that model.

[@SpicyTrifongo]

I stopped watching the video when I found out they were doing that. Any criticism of the chest guns can be immediately destroyed with "Is it not exactly how an ork would build an ork model? They repurposed unknown technology into guns." Give it some good paint obviously, fix the joints but otherwise it was nearly perfect.

[@zearcjustice7837]

the original definately have the "let's put this together and see how it work" vibe of the ork , big , ridiculous , janky , might caught on fire but charming

Hey, in my opinion rescuing the model very successful you really brought this model back to life the only caveat I could have is the lack of this irrational amount of guns in the middle of the model. I know how crazy this idea was, but I think it was he who made everyone know it was exactly this model. He lost some soul, and Orkimedes became sad :P

The final result doesn’t look bad at all, but I feel the original model lost its soul in the proces. The belly full of guns, the hideous neon green and all the weird random bits really gave the model a lot of character and charm. Now it looks more like a standard model and way less scratch build.

[@Furzkampfbomber]

I think it is quite nice that you give the creator of this thing some kudos and start from that point with your critique, instead of just completely stomping on him. As someone who is relatively new to miniature painting and diorama making (no tabletop player), I found this quite wholesome and encouraging.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

I think the best part about this hobby is that wherever you are in it, or however long you've been in it, you always have something to share! Sometimes it's tough to execute on the ideas we have in our heads, but with good feedback and practice and we can all get there :)

[@jamesbevan2169]

I was kinda hoping you would keep the absolutely bonkers wall of belly guns... Fantastic job though.

[@thechickenmaster6543]

I think its kind of a shame all those gun barrels disappeared, sure it looked like shit but it wouldve been fun to bring back a couple of them/similar pieces as to hold true to the vision of the original builder

[@Psychoangel-d23]

Personally speaking i think replacing the barrels with a mix of heavy and vehicle weapons of ork and imperial origin with some bits to fill the gaps could have kept the whole "walking wall of guns" theme. like a battlecannon here, a lascannon there, some heavy bolters and some autocannons and maybe a couple of flamers at the bottom.

[@ciroaldorisio8034]

it was really orky

[@brionl4741]

And a couple of splashes of the green would work too.

Yeah... it was kinda sick they look like minigun with big cannon at the center

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

One of those things that I couldn't bring myself to do. I thought about using one to extend one of the gun barrels, but the more I sat with them the less I wanted to use one. I kept them all, so they might end up in some project down the line, never know :)

[@israeldelarosa5461]

I really wish you had kept the billions of mega barrels on the stomps concept and expanded it. I thought that idea was SUPER unique and it’d be cool to see it more properly executed.

[@bennlubeck7360]

Using some of the receipt rolls really would have kept the fun spirit of the original. Busting out that on the table would make a really memorable experience

[@thomasted8363]

I was thinking the same thing

[@Jebu911]

The original guy who built that had amazing vision too bad this guy didnt use the receipt rolls in any form to give it more dakka.

[@aljoshilagan3204]

the fun part of building for orks is that if you break a piece, you can just make it seem like it was broken and cobbled together to fit.

[@mayofrench5170]

Awesome results. Perhaps the original builder had no budget for better assembly or had limited access to such materials. I like that you don't bash the original builder. Had I come across that model in the wild, I would have had a hard time coming up with genuine positive comments. Especially with younger hobbyists, let's all try to be kind with our comments on their work. Great job man!

[@noelhutchins7366]

I could never resist using the template's sprue-runners: Orks' aesthetics would be complimented by the addition of the stock-frame repurposed as toughened barbs and superficial reinforcement.

I don't know if anyone has ever mentioned this to you or if you've tried it. But brake fluid and brake clean are relatively cheap and do a good job at stripping paint. Brake fluid can be washed completely away with water as it is hydroscopic as from what I've seen with cars does little to no damage to plastic (tho I would test it on a smaller part first)

[@jaroldscottwilliams.3rd832]

Very great work! Though I will say that if the inner magnets were set slightly into the stompa: both so that them and the outer magnets were hidden when the arms and neck were attached yet also for increased stability/slightly less movement; I think the idea of having magnets wouldn't be so bad. An alternative method might be to have the upper torso just lift entirely off starting below the 'shoulders'; that way there's a little ridge covering the magnet(s) holding the upper torso onto the lower body. That way the size of the figurine can be reduced for transport, but it's still stable and looks good where it matters. The upper and lower portions could have slightly interlocking pieces, almost like a puzzle but more of a drop it down and it fits together type thing, stopping it from jiggling side to side to much when being moved around the battlefield. Although, a top section that can literally spin a full 365 degrees might also be pretty awesome enough to try it without the interlocking pieces. That's a lot of firing arc to dakka dakka.

The idea of the orks either building a Stompa around a crane or finding a way to pry it open and shove the crane inside because it had a really good pinchy bit is a fun environmental story, especially with the pearl-eyed grot peeking out through the back like he's proud of how they got it all to work.

@@eBayMiniatureRescues what if you trimmed the outer diameter into a cone shape and bolstered the back end with a larger bit of tubing? I think with a little disruption to the silhouette and integrating them into the body (having an area that says "this is where the orcs load and aim the gun" instead of them just being hotglued to nothing) could really sell it.

[@jaratt85]

That "red clay" looks like Bondo brand spot putty to me.. and people often forget that it still needs hardener, you can't just use it right out of the tube. When you use it without hardener it'll somewhat dry out but it never actually gets hard/cures. The other stuff holding the magnets in looks like Gorilla Glue, the foaming type. You really need to get a hobby media blaster for stripping off stubborn paint. If you use baking soda (yes normal baking soda) it'll strip off the paint and not bother the plastic. I always wanted to build a Stompa or Gorkanaut with the front panel open and a giant rocket sticking out with grots riding it and two wrecking balls hanging bellow it... and a bunch of other grots inside including one on a stripper pole... because grots are weird that way.

That's fair, but I like how it ended up and I enjoy the claw tractor bursting out of the front. Maybe another Stompa will come my way and I can give it the old forgeworldesque chest gun upgrade, but with more dakka. Never know what will happen :)

[@toportime]

What a wholesome approach to your views on that "mini".

[@TheDigitalThreat]

I've purchases from that ebay vendor before and If memory serves they were in Canada, so that is most likely why he referenced "USD", as with the conversion it would have been even worse a deal on their end if it was 50 Canadian.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

It's definitely referencing the difference in currency. I just enjoyed the wordplay because it reminded me of business deals in old movies I've watched.

[@ergile172]

14:56 is that Cold by At The Gates? really didnt expect to hear that on a warhammer model video

[@Exodiant]

Sorry, it's an absolute crime that you didn't include at least some of those original cannons in the belly.

[@slumpmachinegaming]

I'm upset you abandoned the ridiculous artillery shotgun, but this is still the best mini video ive seen.

[@jkcazy1692]

> Getting rid of the guns instead of making them work in the end design Made me sad.

[@vivsemporium]

Whoaaaa!! As someone who is just getting into the hobby of Warhammer painting, I loved watching the amount of detail and time you put into your project. Super inspiring and definitely where I want to be at some point in the future

[@philipstroud6327]

Another great rescue, it looks awesome, i can only imagine the time you spent on this

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Thanks! I started it before the last video was uploaded 2 weeks ago and pretty much spent every spare moment I had working on it to get it out by the end of this month. Lost a good amount of sleep, but it was worth it :)

[@eddietowers5595]

KZbin suggested this video while I was looking up fundamentals kitbashing. When I want to remove paint from a used model I find spraying Easy-Off oven cleaner on a piece then placing it in a plastic container with its top very helpful. The paint easily peels off as one skin. Also depends on the type of paint you want to remove, too. Before doing so take all the necessary precautions you would with any model [spray] painting project only being extra careful being that it’s oven cleaning spray.

[@AustinLindstrom]

Disappointed that the Gun Belly didn't stay, just in a better arrangement / quality of work.

[@genuinejoe2103]

So awesome! Wow! I love the little tractor claw compartment you built in, that was so clever and it looks so menacing!

[@lstairvideos1330]

You didn’t keep the original Bigga guns design? Bro… great work obviously, but a huge missed opportunity. This model/idea is worth revisiting for a video

[@thegeneralissimo470]

I love how you can see the rolls in the background in the beginning shots.

[@Geeko170]

People are sad for the end of Orktober, but they are forgetting. Orkvember is about to begin!!!!

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

That's a good point!

[@Nostroman_Praetor]

Its a beautiful Stompa. That's got so much Dakka it would make Gork blush

[@WeyounLP]

removing all those cannons and not replacing them is kind of a shame. looks just like a normal stomper now

[@cameronschmit6472]

Lmao 12:00 I thought you got frustrated and was pulling out the bud

[@JXZ2]

I am a year late but just on time. I might have to order a couple of those premade models to practice my painting on before I invest in a model set.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Not a bad way to go!

[@mr.graves2867]

Nicely done, I have a necron army and I try a few things from Time to time to make them stand out a bit more, which is hard in a uniform army, but I like the challenge to change things up and still have it make sense. Bravo on your build, it looks like something that I would have expected out of a kit, and would like to see on a table. I just came across your channel today and even though this is the first video I've seen I know that you're someone who I can learn from even though I've been into warhammer for years. Just subscribed and looking forward to watching more. Take care dude

[@Old_Machine_Spirit]

I've dealt with many drekked and questionably built model kits that I've gotten from eBay (including ones covered in mode podge and went through super glue hell) , but THIS one was...different....in it's own special way............

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

This was one of the more unique ones that I've gotten from eBay, to say the least! I've been eyeballing it for the last year too trying to make up my mind lol

[@Old_Machine_Spirit]

@@eBayMiniatureRescues And I bought a few misprinted resin 3d, 1/60th scale Battletech figures from Etsy, so that's gonna be a weird event for me since I normally work with plastic.

[@huwtindall7096]

This is awesome mate. I recently bought for the first time some really terrible condition minis to see if I could rescue them. Nothing this extreme but a good clean incluing getting rid of enamel paint and scraping out crevices etc then doing a basic paint job to bring them back to life. Really satisfying and because the minis are so cheap you don't mind if they are a bit rough.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Nothing like bringing some minis back from the dead!

[@Furzkampfbomber]

As someone relatively new to the hobby of miniature painting, may I ask how one does remove enamel painting? Never used enamel, but someone gave quite the set of those to me recently, so this might become handy in the future.

[@Xaaaach]

Honestly, That Orc stompa was beautiful and you just need to accept him for who he is.

[@jmc7034]

This channel is a great inspiration for rescuing mini’s from eBay. Great job
