Jailbird idea

[JaffleMan]

OK... Just putting this out there, but I'm one of those people who like to aquire spare "buddy" or sidekick figure's from figures that have them and then paint them up so that they arent boring pieces of plastic.

I'm in the process of considering doing a jailbird figure from Scratch... but there is no way I'm destroying an original... i couldn't afford it anyway.

However the idea came to me of producing a resin casting of the figure.. not as expensive... but cheaper if I were to make multiple copies.

So just putting it out there to see if anyone would also be intersted in a jailbird figure tro paint up if I were to make 10 or so?

And these will NOT be cast in yellow. The last thing I want to do is have fake Jailbird's out there screwing people over on ebay.

This is just an idea and I'm seeing if many others would be interested to make this project worthwhile...

And these may end up being as much as $10 each if i were only to make a small handful.... just a forewarning. I don't have much experince in casting and costs would be based on what it'd cost to produce so I'm hoping if i did 10 i'd make it cheaper. Also resin isn't as durable as plastic... these will just be for display.

And before people get their hopes up this is just an idea... it may not eventuate or things could go horribly wrong my end attempting this... I'm more or less looking at motivation into getting this going. From inspection I'll need a two part mold, it's not overly difficult for most peiople... but it is somthing i've only tried once years ago and it ended horribly, but after some research into doing it the right way I'm now confident to give it another crack.
