I don't know if there's any market for such things out there, but a man can dream, can't he?

One of the big annoyances is that so many models require the old plastic squat arms, but so few of said arms remain on the market. As such, collectors must either pay much much more, or sculpt/convert their own arms. How wonderful would it be if Chapterhouse or a Chapterhouselike company were to bring out a set of "space dwarf arms" accidentally suitable for use with old GW Squats, or "space trooper arms" that do the same for old plastic and metal Imperial Guard.

It isn't a bad idea my only concern would be I am not sure how large the market is. It wouldn't cost you very much to get some sculpted and molds made though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338719/2310906.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338719/2310906.page GMT An idea for an aftermarket set - Arms http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338719/2310998.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338719/2310998.page GMT An idea for an aftermarket set - Arms PM with the idea.

Oh, it's completely impossible, I just wish it wasn't. Most of what these aftermarket companies make is completely useless to me, like all those innumerable shoulderpads or Orc heads, and just once I'd love to get that feeling of "yes, this is exactly what I've been waiting for all these years".]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338719/2312039.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338719/2312039.page GMT An idea for an aftermarket set - Arms I think it's completely possible.

I'm certain that they could make a range of "Space Dwarf" arms. Worst case scenario, someone might need to provide them with a Space Dwarf model for measurement purposes (which, I'm sure, they'd return).

If it's relatively simple, I suspect you could make hundreds of the arms you need for $60 worth of mats. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338719/2318158.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338719/2318158.page GMT Re:An idea for an aftermarket set - Arms It would come in, er, handy for conversions.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338719/2318217.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338719/2318217.page GMT Re:An idea for an aftermarket set - Arms

It's certainly an idea I'm entertaining for later, perhaps next year.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338719/2318328.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338719/2318328.page GMT An idea for an aftermarket set - Arms
Curiously I did find a complete squat arm sprue while tidying up last night all I need to do is learn how to recast. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338719/2318337.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338719/2318337.page GMT An idea for an aftermarket set - Arms http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338719/2318362.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338719/2318362.page GMT
