Alright, finally got the brass tubing in, and spent one evening cutting a whole bunch. Only thing left, is to try to tint them to match rohby's recast head. I am going to start casting them this weekend, and hopefully shipping out the first orders early next week - so if you're interested in these guys, sign up here! Oh, almost forgot the info:

name

how many you want

whether you want them tinted or not (the first few will be a little off, due to experimenting)

Pricing - $8 for the first set, $7 for the second, and $6 for each additional - and this includes first class shipping. If you want them sent priority mail, add an additional $2. There is a limit of 4 sets per order - if you want more, I'll gladly fulfill the rest of your order after I've fulfilled everyone else below you (and the pricing for all sets over four is still $6 - it's not going to reset to $8). I think that's it... Oh, and in case you haven't seen these yet...

Tinted a similar grey to what rohby used for his heads - hopefully I'll get it close - we'll find out after this weekend! You'll still have to paint the lasers themselves black - but that shouldn't be that difficult to do...

I may be able to do LV tinting - but not sure. I'm going to worry about the regular tinting first before I can say whether or not I can do the LV color...

Loser... I bought mine before the tiniting offer!!! :angry:

I'm thinking the exchange thing over though... or I might just order new ones!...

Dammit... more 1/48s to buy.

Tinted, please. My modeling skills could suck-start a B-52. <_<

On a different note, I've had your money order ready for a week, I just need an address to send it to...PM me?

Just a quick note you guys - if you are going to paint your head lasers, it'll be faster to get the un-tinted ones. I've been fooling around with tinting them, and have gotten a color that is light enough, but too yellow - and I only have a black tint, and won't have a white tint till mid week at the earliest...

Another update - I will be letting each of you know individually when your set of head lasers are ready, and then inquiring how you would like to go about payment - I'd prefer PayPal, but postal money orders will also do.

Also, after an annoying ordering ordeal (apparently, Smooth-On makes white pigment, they just don't sell it on their website), the white pigment was ordered yesterday. I should be able to get back to tinting later this week...

Alright, just to keep you guys updated - been fooling around with the tinting of these guys, and I'm having a beotch of a time with it - I've tried 6 different combinations of tints, and none of them are right. Will continue testing though, so have patience!

Was finally able to free up the casting equipment after doing some mold work and casts for, of all things, work, so now I have a few sets cast and ready to be sent out once I receive payment. I've started sending PM's to those on the list, requesting payment, etc - and I will update the list to keep everyone privy to the status of their order.

Oh, and an update - though the head lasers can be used with either an original or a recast head, I have not found an acceptible way to actually get the old lasers off the original head without extensively damaging it in the process - or prying it apart (I ruined a 1S head already trying to figure out a way to do it). Oh well...

Alright, haven't gotten any responses to PMs from Daysleeper, Postman Pat, or Rick Randy. Unless I hear from you guys in the next week, I am canceling your orders.
