Skull-1 Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 (edited) ...Bandai Spares? Still looking for a good quality, quasi-plastic recast or Bandai original "J" Head. Anyone have any? I have the Beers versions and they are really nice to look at but the lasers are fragile......... I know they're not going to hold up with my kids in the house. Anyone recasting lasers at least?

MechTech Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 You got some skills man, brass tube and some putty to build it up at the base. Just sand it to smooth it out with a taper. The brass tube can be super glued into the head socket after it's driled out. See how simple that sounds . Seriously though, the brass tube will be stronger than any plastic. - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The resin in these is very gritty as opposed to some I have seen that have more plasticity. I need someone who works with the plastic-like resin to help me cast some of these parts so they have at least a LITTLE bit of flexibility. I can provide the parts if necessary.

big F Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Yeah a lot of resin cast stuff is for looking and not touching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
