mslz22 Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Ok, here is the deal, I am making a bunch of new molds for some other stuff and I have a couple of the Chris Barretta 1d heads. I have some space to throw it into a mold to make some recasts. I NEVER make copies of Macrossworlders original work, however I know that some people have been trying to contact Chris about the 1d head and were unable to contact him. I would ONLY do this for marginal $ (enough for material and shipping) as i do not want to profit from others work, and ONLY with some clear consensus from you guys that it is OK at this point. If people have a problem with it, I WILL NOT DO IT. Basically, I would like to do it as a favor to the customizers who are unable to get the heads at this point. Please let me know your opinion.

tom64ss Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 If there are no objections and you recast them, I'll definitely purchase one. What ever happened to Chris anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechamaniac Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Make one in 1/48 scale!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom64ss Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Make one in 1/48 scale!! Wouldn't that be the same size w/ a neck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mslz22 Posted September 18, 2003 Author Share Posted September 18, 2003 I just checked it up againt the 1s and the 1a 1/48 head and it is actually the same size for the most part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechamaniac Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 I just checked it up againt the 1s and the 1a 1/48 head and it is actually the same size for the most part Neck dimensions would have to change a bit though I think. I had one of the Chris B heads on my Chunky Monkey custom 1D, and it was awesome!. Suggestion though, Chris B's mold was obviously down the centerline of the head, and on mine I had to do some serious puttying as one side of the line was significantly lower than the other side, so if you can correct that, it would be great.

Manji Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 I agree with your concern on this, but at the same time I see recasting as a "last resort" due to availability issues...if Chris can't be contacted or is not producing this any longer I would say go for it (it would be very different he he was still activly recasting these)...if I was in his situation I do not think I would be upset that you would do this, but that's just me (I'm pretty laid back)... That said I as well as many other Macrossworlders would love to get my hands on a recast one so keep us informed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwinges Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 I'd buy one. if it were 1/55 or 1/48. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orguss01 Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Count me in for one, if recast>>>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowlightman Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 I'm assuming these are 1/55th scale? If so, I'd definately be willing to buy one or two, assuming you decide to recast them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mslz22 Posted September 19, 2003 Author Share Posted September 19, 2003 They are the 1/55 scale, however they seem to fit the 1/48's with little modification. If there are no objections by tomarrow I will throw it in a mold. I could be casting them by the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbarrett4 Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 I'll buy at least two. Shan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 I guess the least you can do is go for it until Chrisb tells you to stop... if that's what it takes to get him out of hiding... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mslz22 Posted September 19, 2003 Author Share Posted September 19, 2003 Ok, since there were no real objections I am going to throw it in a mold....like i said, these wil be cheap, just enough to pay the materials/shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 I'd also be interested in one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidkorrupt Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 you can try slimming it down to be more accurate to lineart. than its kinda your own creation. that 1D head is like the stock 1A head. both of em are big and clunky. it needs to be sleeker like what rob did to his 1A head g/luck =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
