arggggg. Arms are the hardest part to find besides unbroken backplates and tail assemblies. Figure out a way to do the mod with leg parts and I can surely help you out. I'll look through my box of parts later today as I might have one or two elbow bits that I don't have the rest of the arm to.

Argh!!!! Thanks for looking. Let me know if you dig any out.

How hard would it be to recast the parts I need? I don't even need the whole thing just the rotating section.

Wow. What a mess I am in... I have only one left so my next custom will be a stiff leg. :(

Are bootlegs still out there?

Argh! funny how the bootlegs have become more rare than Bandai. There is somebody on ebay selling a set of 3 for $15, but he wants $15 shipping too....yikes! Ill see if I can find the part you need. I know I had some custom boots that I was doing a while back.

edit: forgot my argh!

Argh! I can't find the bootleg auctioneer. Bummer.

Well, any spare elbows would be much appreciated.

If I could ever figure out how to cast some I think I could make them for all my Valks from scratch and thus spare this frustration. :)

Many thanks.

hopefully thats enough to keep you from using up vintage parts I need :rolleyes:

silverdragon could/would probably recast the part you need if he's not to busy with the strike stuff at the moment.

Silverdragon. Got it. Excellent.

Here is the question then...

Are all recasts done in resin or do some use plastic? Is resin more or less durable than plastic?

Also, where do I find some Wave or other aluminum ball joints?

I may be forced to go that route.

You know you guys can pickup the Galaxy Defender VF-1S bootleg at Walmart for ~10-15 bux and pull parts off that?

Might be a way to scrouge for parts for you 1/55 guys. I don\'t have any 1/55 so don\'t know if the parts are exact.

I should go visit their factory and see what other bootlegs are out there. Heh.

Edit - Picture is of a new version with lights and sounds! Interesting for 1/55 modders!

I am at wallmart a lot as I work nights. I've seen some of the line but never the vf. Multiple wallmarts many times and never. A friend works at wallmart and never...

maybe only wallmart in cali? WTF. I need a booxed one but only ever see the loose ones from asia for $20 plus another $10 to ship the box. I'd rather buy a bandai reissue for that price. If you find some domesticly let us know.

I have never seen these at wal-mart either. There is about 10 walmarts in my area or at least within 100 mile radius and I scope them out pretty much weekly. I have seen the other stuff that company makes for walmart, but I have never seen the jetfire bootleg except on ebay. They are not in Cali, I can tell you that much.

Can you give me some details on those Ostrich Parts? Are those custom or factory?

Thanks for digging up all the parts.

These are for Silver Dragon.   The areas enclosed in the black box are what I need for my recast if you think it is at all doable.

It could be done but are you going to provide the parts to me or do you need me to provide them. Let me know what you want to do.

Dragon...

I can make you a MASTER to use in creating the molds.

My question for you is: What materials do you use to cast the final part? Plastic or resin? Is there a durability difference between them?

I will file down a master part for you to work with.

HI there,

I use resin the finish all my parts. There are different types some arer strong some are weak. I don't use plastic i just use resin to do all my final work. Resin is not like plastic but almost close enough to make stuff look good. If you want you could make me a master and i will work from that.

I will file down a master part for you to work with.
