i wanted to see if any one has any luck with casting a killa kan out of resin? i have 1 in the mail and thought to my self i could cast the last 8 untill i can replace them with real ones latter. any tips at all will be a huge help to me!!!!
Thanks Dustin.

You have one what in the mail? A GW killa-kan?

Making a mold based on the GW model is going to cause you grief because the GW killa-kans are among the worst, if not THE worst model in their line-up. Simply put - its pewter, and the pieces don't fit together. You have to cut the lips off and shave down the killa-kan and jury rig it together. They just don't fit.

yes i have a killa kan in the mail. ok i now the killa kan model is not the best but how hard with it be to cast one? i am just trying to think of a way to cut the cost of 9 kans.

do you know of a better way to cast a kan other than using a GW model? oh i am really really bad at scratch building!!

Honestly it would be a lot easier to scratch build, and it would get your less flak for IP shenanigans/copying. I'm sure there are plenty of good examples of scratch built kans out there.

I have a freind he made all his Killer kans out of tongue depresser,( they all look like a alligator walking on the hind legs its his Godzilla theme Ork army) there great looking .... I'll take pictures of them on saturday at the toury... to show you, that Orks are creatives fungus.....lol

Just use PVC pipe couplings and add legs.


Copying anyones IP is a big NO-NO

the one thing with scratch builds are that they require lots of extra bits that i do not have. then looking at the cost of the bits and supply's then time invested it would be almost the same as just buying them.

Well then buy them don't copy them...

In many countries you are allowed to make copies of copyrighted items as long as you do not sell/make profit out of them

I use mine as mega armor nob though

We are, allegedly, getting plastic Killa Kans soon too...

Just as a warning, those AT-43 guys are pretty short. They are only about at tall as a Terminator, maybe slightly taller. Not nearly the height of a Dreadnought or a Kan.

Totally illegal I believe.

wow thats no good. i guess i will have to keep looking for ideas for cheaper killa kans.

any one have a good tutorial of some PVP kans?

for the record, reproductions will only get you in trouble if you get caught with them.

I only play with fully painted models and I rarely if ever let strangers pick them up.

All in all, a fully painted recast would be identical to an original if you cast it correctly.

As a disclaimer, I'm not saying that you should infringe anyone's IP.

yeah i am dropping the casting plan but would really really love some help with a scratch built kan with a pvc body.
