Rubber wheels! Now that's a good idea! I reused Shadowtrak wheels on my Night Attack Chopper and Tomahawk customs, and pillaged 12 Z Force Jeep wheels for my Tank Transporter. Having seen Mark's excellent customs I could happily go mad with a couple dozen spare ATC wheels too!

Shadowtrak missiles? Laser exterminator parts? That's just crazy talk guys!! (they're already on the list!!!!!!!)
I couldn't possibly match marauders quality for hand guns etc, so I'm totally steering clear.

Looking like I've almost got a full list now. Useful ideas with the wooly hats and z force caps. I'll be well pleased if I can do them and get them to work in rubber.

Rubber wheels?? Now that'll take some getting my head around. Not sure how my floppy rubber (oo er) would behave if used for big items.

If you can make Shadowtrak weapons let us know Steve I need to finish off my first Shadowtrak I lost a few weapons and would buy some off you.

could the wheels could be done solid rather than hollow backed ?

I've got an idea that might work, where I cast the cores out of platic, let it set, then pour the rubber around it. It will sort of make a hard cored wheel, with a rubber tyre. One fir the steved experimentation board I think!

Hmmm I just had a vision of you wearing a white lab coat, with a test tube in your hand laughing like a maniac !

Good luck !

The wheels are all pretty thick, I reckon they'd be ok. If not, maybe make then solid on the inside? I know I'd pay good money for them.

Escape Armour inner, that's a popular want. Panther fuel cans is another. Also Z Force Jeep headlights, steering wheels, windscreens and rollbars. I must have been through half a dozen incomplete jeeps in my time.

The little console bit on the Whirlwind, that's often missing and it's shagged without it. Also the ammo covers are often broken. I believe they are both the same so only one mould would be required.

What about trans-plastic, Steve? The Cosmic Cruiser hatch is a bugger to find, as is the Shadowtrak windscreen.

Swordfish Torpedo clip. Every blue part from the Triad. Ironblood masks! The two floats for the Silent Attack are always missing too.

I also have to repeat my cry for Command Centre prison walls.
