EXO Posted February 15, 2004 Author Share Posted February 15, 2004 Ooops.. forgot the price. $10.00 shipped anywhere in the US. Outside the U.S. is extra depending on where you are, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that the hands are out of the way, anyone wanna recast (or sell me) some 1/48 TV pilots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechaninac Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Are the recasts made of hard resin or something similar to PVC? If it's the latter, than put me down for one set at the moment. Thanks, and regardless of the material used, this is a great service to all the 1/48 fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted February 15, 2004 Author Share Posted February 15, 2004 Sorry, they wont be made out of PVC. Resin. AS for the TV pilot and the new imroved DYRL pilots. I kinda wanted them in the rubbery material so I have to look for a resin similar to it. Just haven't had the time. There's a Smooth-On distributor a couple of miles away. I'm gonna have to take a drive one of these days and show them exactly what I'm hoping for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VF1A-FAN Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Hey Fellas: I'm interested in two sets. However, I'm a bit worried about how sturdy the peg portion of these hands will be. I'd hate for them to snap off when attached to the arm. Anyways, thanks for the service you guys bring to this board!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd hate for them to snap off when attached to the arm. Anyways, thanks for the service you guys bring to this board!!!!! Just so you know, resin is more fragile than regular plastic or PVC. I'm sure Rohby has already looked at how it is. I'll get to see the set this coming week also. We'll keep you updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXO Posted February 15, 2004 Author Share Posted February 15, 2004 Just spoke to Rohby and he said you'd have to try to break off the stem for it to fall off. Also. I'm sitting here with the recast of the pencil sharpener and I'm pulling the arms gently and it seems sturdy enough. There are other people that bought the pilots to confirm this. I also encouraged him to thicken up the stem a little. I felt that the original one was a bit loose. It would be easier for each of us to shave the recast to our own taste. But I'm going to remind you that it's not going to be as strong as the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaine23 Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Sweet... I'll be taking 3 sets, EXO & Rohby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDisco Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 ok stupid newbie question but what exactly is the difference in hand types between the existing oem pair and the TV recast? :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm going to remind you that it's not going to be as strong as the original. You could always add a metal insert for the stem to strengthen it up - the ankle joints for my 1/55 customs used a brass rod with a ball that was cast onto it - only way I could support the entire weight of a 1/55 on an 1/8" diameter rod of resin...

F360° Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Hey guys, put me on the list for a set too, ok..,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nani?! Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Put me down for a set. Question: I suppose it depends on the sales, but is it likely that you'll be producing more after the first batch? I just purchased my first 1/48 (VF-1S Hikaru) and I'm anticipating a 1/48 buying spree when I receive it so..... thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rohby Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Nani, I'm pritty sure I'll have some left for you to purchase in the future. I hate to leave pple hanging Worse comes to worse if I run out.....I'll sell you mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
