If your looking for something to cast in metal. How about t bars? Think a few people could find them very useful myself included

Oh yes very much! The other casters cast torso body parts without them!
Plus I'm sure a few Marvel Universe people may want to replace the inner plastic t-bars!
Oh and swords in metal would be awesome! Hmmm a Thor hammer & Hogun mace in metal too! If you need some to make molds from I have them. :thumbsup:

I watched Thor yesterday and was wondering if the any of the Heroes 3 or whatever got sent your way. Now I knows.

As for metal casting. Rotor mast/head assembly on the 21st Super Cobra.

I believe I have all the heroes three and I think I just post one of the heads.

Apache's are pulling surprisingly small number on eBay. If you were gonna do it I'd do D model upgrades first. Army doesn't have any A models anymore.

And I almost second fogger on the Huey. I've got 3 of those but desperately need munitions options.


Hell, I'd kill for MD 500 gun pods.

Those are awful complex items to do in kit form and then have them be affordable.

Apaches seem to be selling in the 80-150 range, and Hueys are about the same (but, Jesus, look at what the PILOTS are drawing). I dunno, you can get those done in the lower end of that range you may have something.

I still think munition options for existing models would be better, but hell I may take a chance on a kit. I've had the Huey mostly apart and I reckon it's got quite a bit fewer parts than the Apache. Perhaps start there.

I don't have a Huey but looking at my Apache. I think it's doable and keep it to were the kits would be affordable. Maybe I'll give it a shot, might take a couple months.

Thanks guys. Here is something else I did. A shockblast barrel mod by our very on MB. You may recognize it from his SDCC Hisstank conversion tutorial.

Cast in four pieces and the center piece cast in clear purple (What! that can't be done) anyone interested lets get a list going cause this is something I may not be putting on the site. Price pending, it wont break the bank.

These pics are first pulls and are a little rough.

Count me in!...looks fantastic!...


Did you get the package I sent you?...it's tiny...my wife thought it was cute...

Yeah, take MB's (it's a smooth nose, right?)


And be prepared to pop a lot of plastic welds/rivets.

Not following how that would work out. I know what rotocasting is, I just don't see how it would work in this situation.

Here is the M200. This is the best I could do.

Hey Eddie I just got that stuff. Nice hydrant. You want to see if I can shrink just a tad? Plus I only got the in part of the TF head, you didn't want the whole thing cast?

@Mandingo Rex-Good news is your stuff shipped. Bad news is, I just got word that the truck it was on crashed and it burned up in the fire. Sorry bro.

That's the marauder M200 just with a recast scope, it's finished yet but close

Wow, didn't even recognize it...looks much better...is that a clear red scope painted on it like you plan to do for LLs scope?

Feel free to do whatever you want with the hydrant...but keep in mind, the height is pretty accurate...I measured a real one to myself and then made one to the same point on a Joe :D


As for the head, the red part is all that needs to be done...having it and the tiny visor also included, in clear yellow, will work great...it easily swaps out of the main part of the head

BWAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!...not sure if you just made an awesome joke Jesse or if that really happened...either way, it's funny as hell!

My one year old reminded me of something I wanted to inquire about. (by reminded me, I mean he pulled it out of the bottom of the toy bin)

Can just the radio on this be cast? It is removable from the figure.
