Possibly military models or larger scale train parts.
He told me that some of it came from tank model kits and I believe it was battleship type models. I would imagine that science fiction space models could be a good source as well.
I know that the Star Wars models were mainly battle ship parts. I found when I built my sandcrawler that random aircraft parts worked ok, but what really made it look awesome were car engine model parts. I would suggest looking on ebay for "junkyard model parts" or something along those lines - that's how I found a box of car parts that was perfect for what I was building.
i thought he just chewed them from blocks of plastic, or used his heat vision to shape them, lol.
i like the idea of junkyard model parts, i never thought of that.
Could toss a sheet of styrene on the laser and make a lot of little greeblies.
