KingNor Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 Does anyone here supply ball joints and sockets? I'm looking at doing some custom stuff and i'd like a set of various sized sockets. So does anyone know good supplyers or members that sell these? (I'd rather my money went to some MW members before i go to a regular hobby shop.) THX Quote

Also its not exactly clear what part of the site i should look at for ball joints. Any pointers? Quote
Sdf-1 Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 (edited) Use "wave" since that is the manufacturer. Though, that link should've worked. Oh well, try if this works... => option kits. Not sure if there are them elsewhere too. http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljlist.cgi?x=6...ll&Dis=-2&Code= Edited March 2, 2006 by Sdf-1 Quote

honneamise Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 There are at least three manufacturers that make joints, detail-up-parts and the like, Wave, Kotobukiya and Yellow Submarine. You should check out them all three, HLJ carries them all. There is a ball/socket-system in clear plastic made by YS - that one is really tight and even paintable! Quote
MechTech Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 HWR MKII is right, HLJ is slower all around (being across the ocean doesn't help). But their saving grace is selection. I've ordered bunches of stuff from them, just be prepaed to wait a while... Quote
big F Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 Heres a picture of what I use they are cheap and very strong. Great for 1/55`s and other customs. Quote
