the problem for me on regular heads is I cant paint worth a dam and every time I try I screw up. So unless they came painted with eyes and eye brows I probally wouldnt be interested , now if they did, then Id be interested

I would be in the market for about 20 :breaker: hats if they're possible, but I could always use berets instead I suppose. What about a removable :major: cap?

As this is a new thread I'll resubmit the cry for :zforce: Battletank miniguns. Will you be taking over the repro APC aeriels as well?

I suggest using a single discreet logo stamp to identify them as repros.

Hmmm - I will be trying the aerials out, as if I do the mould and it works I will be able to do most colours. It will take some experimentation to get anything like a colour match though, so no promises yet! (although white, black and red are going to be pretty easy, once I start with the other colours it's going to be difficult).

:breaker: hat's, in rubber, are now on the "to do" list. They will be very, very rubbery (same material used as those hands Baron), but I'm hoping they will work out. We're a few months away from finding out yet though guys.

Steve, has anyone mentioned the small pistols for the Mail Away Commander & the Pilots?

Are they a bit too small to do?

After the 'holy grail' green aerial, these pistols are probably the next most commonly lost part...

Another holy grail bit is the forward stabiliser on the laser exterminator wasn't someone trying to reproduce it for mass production?

Ermmm, I may have mentioned that earlier on once or twice ironblood??? :roll:
And sorry to disappoint people if I can't make stuff. I need to make things I know a good few people want, so the fact that one or two people need a particular thing isn't enough - hence the thread to bounce ideas about. And now I know more about what I'm doing with this some things I look at and know it wouldn't work out, or wouldn't be satisfactory. Sorry if that disappoints one or two folks, but as each mould takes me roughly three hours of time to make And costs about ten pounds in materials I can't really drop everything just to make one thing.

I suppose another angle is to look at the reused generic pieces. It may be economical to make a mould for the little missile, as it came in white, red, yellow and blue colours. Same again for the vehicle gun which was made in red, black and grey (and naturally, the aeriel too).

One often-sought piece is the Roboskull foot. The red wingtip piece too come to think of it. The eye and chin guns are easily broken as well, I know I had to replace a full set. I'd also be in the market for half a dozen replacement SatDef rollbars.

I wouldn't stress too much about handguns, Marauders pretty much cater for everything there. What about the Laser Extreminator leg and console? Have you considered making those?
