Rio Grande is a good place to pick up some tools and materials for conversion. I've found jewelers saws, files, pliers, tweezers, and drill tools here for very fine detailing.

Hah! Careful, or you might find yourself tempted into making your minis out of metal, with actual jewels for the detailing.

Fair prices, great service and a massive assembly of 1/35 manufacturers. I used to do alot of ordering through them after my local hobby shop went out of business and never had any difficulty getting what i needed.

My Taigen hand painted rc tank is bit old now, want to paint it again, where to get good paint? any idea?

Any recommendations on 28 - 30 mm 1900-1950 weapon bits for regular 40k Guardsmen? especially Mauser bolt action rifle bits? (with and without arms) please

So far the closest things I saw is Anarchy (can't remember the exact name) but the site presents Parabellum pistol, MauserC96 pistol (Autopistols), MP-40 (I dont think this is a good Autogun afterall), and MG40 (Heavy bolter/Heavy Stubber?) but no classic Mauser bolt action rifle presented there yet.

guys, any idea? where to get paint for http://www.thehobbyworx.com/rc-tanks/1-24-scale/1-24-airsoft-bb-m1a2-battle-rc-tanks.html , i want to re-paint it.

As it is a large model, Tamiya spray cans would be a good option allowing you to create a smooth, multi-pattern camouflage design quickly and easily.

However the point of this thread is not to offer advice but to post useful information.

Is there any supplier of 28mm heroic puttee legs conversion bits ?

Loads of powered and chain weapons (scythes, tonfas etc). Accessories for Angry marines (like powerfist arms giving the finger and a 'power sack of doorknobs' ). Some helms and shoulderpads suitable for marines.

http://www.christmasatdawsons.co.uk/lemax/product.asp?pid=34918

might make for some alright basing or something.

http://www.christmasatdawsons.co.uk/lemax/accessories.asp

there's a few similar bits , and trees etc etc

The mirror lake or the lampposts etc might be of use too.

I recommend any High Grade Gundam models for Mechanicus or Tau robot/mecha conversion as a base or for the bits. They are cheap and are good quality injection molded plastic and you don't need to worry about the internal skeleton of Master Grade.

Great number of bits/conversion for a Missileside.

Anyone know if it's possible to get sprues of weapons (sci fi/ Cold War/ modern), without the figures? I have a dream of a Japanese armoured samurai equipped with heavy machine gun or laser cannon... or is my best bet green stuff and brass tubing?

Tau weapons in general might work pretty well . Found this on ebay by searching for "tau burst cannon". There were a few other 3rd party variations that came up as well.

Thanks for the tip - I should have said though, I'm looking for 1/72 (20mm) scale. I have a vision of guys like these: http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=448 armed with heavy ordnance...

I didn't spot Spellcrow in the list (or might have missed it).

Spellcrow (28mm)
http://www.spellcrow.com/
Bits for not-Nurgle, not-Slaneesh, not-CSM, not-Eldar, not-Space Marines, not-Orks and not-Guard. Furthermore some Fantasy stuff, bases and tools.

Canfield Lead Solder for Stained Glass

https://www.delphiglass.com/soldering-supplies/solder/canfield-50-50-solder-1-lb

Good heavy stuff for weighing down bases with. Needs a little flattening to get it into a 25mm, but it's pretty soft, what with being 50% lead.

United Nuclear Lead Sheet

You'll probably wind up on a list, but if you need a sheet of lead ... they'll sell it to you.

Been poking around online lately for Feudal-era Japanese minis (mostly with a view to cobble them together with some necromunda stuff, but if I found, say a particularly nice plain old historical mini, I certainly wouldn't turn my nose up at it...), had limited success, and was wondering if there were any bits boffins who might be able to point me in the right direction? Extra McBogus points if you can find me stuff that's based in Japan, so I don't have to order from the other side of the world! Cheers!

Hi, I am new here. Always stumbled over this forum so I could not help myself but sign up.

I don’t know about Japanese minies yet, sorry. These days I’m all about cultists. Got my self several boxes (anvil, victoria, frostgrave, gw, ...) to build my own squad.

I was wondering if you guys have any idea where to get small little chaos symbols like the cultists in the 5men gw-cultist box are wearing for fashion

I’d handcraft them myself out of plastic card but these need to be like really tiny.. I then thought about pop up punches to do the cutting work for me. but I found only motives of butterflies and flowers, no chaos stars nor at least a 8 point star.

Anyonegot an idea or discovered someone who is moldin something like this?

Thanks

So far I found these:

https://www.shapeways.com/product/QJXQUPPW4/20x-chaos-maul-small-concave-insignias?optionId=66593267

Any other idea welcome

FYI to the group, I do custom bits. Willing to make tutorials if there is interest. Here is my very first custom sculpt:

I think this is what you are looking for, small chaos symbols in metal.

Bases and rebasing are the word of the day so...
