Skis
So I'm working on a new SM army and any doing a whole snow themed army. I'm trying to find something that I could replace the fron wheel on a SM bike that would look like a snowmobile ski. I haven't been able to find anything and thought I would turn to Btown. Any ideas?

If I were the kind of person to condone illegal activity, I'd suggest that you find a ski whose dimensions you like, alter is as necessary for your needs, and make resin copies of it. As I am NOT the kind of person who would condone illegal copying, I'll say that you should find something cheap that has dimensions you can live with and but a lot of copies of it, altering each individual ski as needed.

You can make your own with greenstuff then make a copy with that instant moldmaker stuff and make greenstuff push molds.
Something like this...

you will need a little adapter to make the height correct.

Dude, you just sent me on a super-nostalgia trip. Reminded me of these guys:

True, we love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving. There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.

Re: Skis
I was thinking of sculpting my own and casting it but so such a simple design I didn't want to go through that effort. The lego skiis may work... maybe a trip to my local lego store is in order.MagickalMemories wrote: If I were the kind of person to condone illegal activity, I'd suggest that you find a ski whose dimensions you like, alter is as necessary for your needs, and make resin copies of it.
