4 Dollar Tyranid Mycenetic Spore Pod

You too can create a spore pod for a fraction of the cost that you would think!

Materials:
"Poof" Brand Football, Jumbo Size (Walmart = $4)
Hot Glue sticks (Walmart = 100 mini sticks for $3)
Jumbo Paperclips and Toothpicks (Walmart, about a dollar)
Total: 8 dollars for 2 spores, 2 dollars per spore after that as long as you have the glue and paper clips.

STEP 1: Cut the football in half.



STEP 2: Peel back petals


STEP 3: Use Jumbo Clips and Hot Glue to support the Petals


STEP 4: Add gooeyness and tentacles with Hot Glue, and spikes with Toothpicks

STEP 5: Base, Prime, and Paint!



I am not finished painting this, as you can see, but I am desperately trying to get people to get away from those lousy Plasma Hatcher toys that they have been using as pods. I hate those things. They are not representative of a spore pod at all, in my opinion. This method provides a gooey, organic looking pod at a fraction of the cost. I hope this provides you guys a decent alternative to pre-bought or sub-par spore pods for your tyranids.

Until next time,
