Hats were originally invented to keep the head weighed down on the shoulders. All that hot-air going through people's heads makes them as light as a feather.

Well it appears that your head is pretty light most of the time and do you have nothing better to do then sit on the sight? You respond faster then I can check other threads lol.

Re: 99 cent Sentinel Proxies - Painted

I am the fastest man alive. Also I'm a student and I'm waiting to go hang with some SuperScape. The interweb is pretty boring, these forums are one of the more interesting things for me.

Also this is a site. lol

Re: 99 cent Sentinel Proxies - Painted

I was contacted about making the mold but I have to say I found the mini for $1.19

Colosus on Ebay


I think just buying the minis and striping out the head would probably work best.

Re: 99 cent Sentinel Proxies - Painted

I just bought 5 for $.89. I couldn't justify the $45 it would cost me get resin to cast a dozen heads or so myself.

Re: 99 cent Sentinel Proxies - Painted

What do you use to make the mold. I figured on about 1\5th of a $27 Tub of rubber, myself.

I didn't even factor in the cost of the mold. I have some $9.99 latex rubber sitting on my desk that I could make servicable head molds from. It was just the cost of the resin. I usually get my resin from MicroMark for $38+ shipping.

Smooth On used to have cheap $30 starter kits, but now they throw an instuctional DVD in them and charge $80.

For the smaller Sentinels I was casting the heads out of $2 Epoxy Putty, with mixed results. It was cheap enough that the cost of miscasts was neglible.

Where are you getting your rubber and resin ? It sounds like you've found a better deal than I'm getting.

Re: 99 cent Sentinel Proxies - Painted

I use the Alumilite product line I have success with the white stuff for Items as small as Minis. Luckily I can get most of it through my local hobby store so no shipping.

Re: 99 cent Sentinel Proxies - Painted

That's a good product.

I tried convincing my local craft shops that they should carry casting supplies, but they just looked at me like I had 3 heads.

Casting my own stuff was ecomincal when I was playing Warhammer 40K, but with using Heroclix in such small numbers for Heroscape it hasn't been worth it.

Admittedly, I've been tempted to sculpt and cast an entire Sentinel, but to make it worth it I would have to sell them for $30 to recoup the cost of supplies and labor.

40K players would drop that kind of cash in a second for a large model like that, but Heroscapers seem a bit more of a frugal crowd.
