Recasted Medicom boots sounds interesting :naughty
 
Yea since plastacine grabs impresions made on it's surface and casts them i will use sideshow harleys ankle post to create a hole and cast the booties. that way when their cast it all a person needs to do is paint and pop in place.
 
Well soon i will pick up some more resin and mold suplies and make a set from my boots.
 
got mine on friday. took some pics over the weekend

you should expiriment with dying the resin, or just outright buying pre-colored resin in red and black. Being molded in that color would, I THINK be better overall. Especialy for shoes.
 
Recasting is lame

I get that for the overall, but for people who want harley's classic boots do you think paying 200 bucks for a pair of boots and toss the medicom figure is a smart use of money. Just a thought.

I was going to recast just boots,cuffs and maybe collar(that one is tricky) as a set for $35-$50 Since those are the only good parts to use. especially if you want a classic harley. and i would only do it for a small amt like 10. unlike recasters that make there casting career on recasts.

I am looking at custom color resin that is softer more flexible, since her boots and collar are flexible. I know there are color powders i can add to clear resin to fill with a color so i will be getting that in red and black. as for white i can get resin in white so no need to dye.

I know how you guys feel, when i bought hush Harley I thought god she is a huge disappointment and bought the sideshow and was like She looks alot better.. then i started looking at both of them but didn't have the courage to bash them together until i saw someone do it. Now the medicom is just junk because i took the only parts that was cool about her off and put it on sideshows.

Then I got to think it's a shame people will have to spend almost 350-500 bucks just to have one complete harley which is why i thought about potentially just making copies and selling them to cost my fellow bashers less money. I hate recast personally myself and wouldnt condone it unless there was a better solution. Im still goint to sculpt a new set of bootfeet because the point on those boots is not sharp but close to original.
 
will do I don't get out of school this semester until middle of may then I can have time to cast them. I found a source for dyes and flexable resin. but if it won't work with it would you guys be upset with regular resin because the clear cast takes dye better.
 
I decided to sell my exclusive Harley figure. anybody interested. if so then pm me. not asking any price outrageous or anything. I still have her box and its in wonderful condition and she has all her things. shes been kept in a disclosed display since I got her and im her first owner. only US shipping please. serious offers only, I need her gone asap so I can pay my back flex pay for her PF...lmfao
 
Hey guys been doing some research and will be buying stuff to make the boots hope your ok with a more rignid plastic for boots one type is pure black resin and the other i can add collorant to. Im getting some mold stuff tomorrow and will take a cast in may for those interested in boots,cuffs again not sure i can duplicate the collar piece but i will give it a go in a prop flexable resin.
 
This figure is sitting at my local comic book store.... I have almost picked it up twice now... Only a matter of time I suppose I am weak.
