Ye Olde Inn

Hi,

I've recently been rebuilding and repainting my HeroQuest collection to a standard that I wasn't capable of when I was 11! (I'll shove a blog/thread with pics up once I've got them sorted).

One thing that has been driving me mental is... yes you guessed it, the candle sticks. I have one in perfect condition and one in about 10 pieces. I'd originally thought I might be lucky and find one on eBay but they really are like rocking horse poop. So I was wondering, has anyone ever tried making a reproduction by taking a mould of a good candle stick?

I was thinking about trying to do this and then cast a new one using liquid green stuff just to see if it can be done. Am I on to a winner or just going to drive myself mad and ruin my good candlestick?

Thanks!

Firstly, welcome to the Inn I think it's worthy to recast candelsticks, but don't try to get ours

Welcome to the Inn!

I think Thantos is going to work on casting very similar candlesticks. Someone from the forum bought a new sprue of candlesticks on the bay yesterday (I think Hero Of Retro if I recall correctly). We're hoping he will get in touch with our house-caster thantos so he can make some based on the looks/size of the originals

We also have two fine Greeks casting all the rare minis from the EQP and BQP and WoM, and even AtOH. Patroclus (metal/pewter) and Billdask (resin). PM them

PS: liquid green stuff shrinks, so it might turn out badly.

Thanks for the welcome!

Ah interesting. I've already been in touch with Billdask about some of the rare US figures.

So what is Thantos recasting besides candlesticks?

Go shop. Oh, and welcome to ye inne.

Whoa whoa whoa, the term is simply "casting", recasting is illegal and highly naughty.Sarcasm: Especially on a 25 year old board game which is no longer sold so doesnt damage any companies profits in any way ... /Sarcasm

Step into the back room, and we'll talk on PM

Oops - I stand corrected. Shame on me for suggesting such a thing!
