Not 100% sure this is in the right place so apologies if it isn't!

I have a number of both armoured and unarmoured horses which are missing their tails

Finding replacements is not as easy as it would seem. Ebay prices are silly for genuine replacements and I am really struggling to find any on bits suppliers websites

Any suggestions would be great. I need approximately 50

Honestly, I suggest looking for an stl of what you need and printing it. Printing is really cheap. If you don't have a printer, any friends with a printer, nor a place with public or rentable printers, then feel free to send me the file you find and I can give you a price quote to print them out and ship them to you.

There's always the 'make a press mold of it and make replacements out of milliput' option. Or make a silicon mold and cast out of resin.

As you say, the bitz market has become a wee bit insane, especially given the proliferation of 3D printing becoming available.

CHAOS! PANIC! DISORDER!
My job here is done.

You could always do bob or club tails with green stuff. Just attach a little ball and with something sharp make lines to suggest hair.

Cheers,

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I think I'll have a go at making a mould and doing my own.
It seems crazy that there isn't someone who makes these!
