Need a male

I hate to tell you, but it's kinda out of seaon for them.:rolleyes: Besides, I think you need a license or a permit or something as well don't you?:D :D

I'll keep my eye open for you though, there's a couple of places here that one might turn up.:)

Well, the next time my brother goes hunting I'll have him look out for one for you. But with how small you need them, the bullets he uses will make it hard to find any of the pieces.... :D

OooooooKay...had me worried that I went to the wrong page. That said, Bullwinkle (or Rocky for that matter) steer clear of my place. Somethin' about The Outdoor Channel and BBQ sauce... Check out www.walthers.com under Preiser figures.
 
Gee, I wonder where those antlers are going? Seriously Tyson, with your scratchbuilding talents, I'm sure you can come up with something. Unless of course you want to put the whole head on the front of the loco.:D :D By the way, love the fire apperatus.
 
Folks I know I can get em' from Model Power etc. but I don't want to spend $5-$10 for one set of antlers. And yes I want to mount the antlers on the Climax either the front or on the roof, haven't decided yet. Somebody out there I hope is willing to part with just one animal instead of the whole herd at a lower price I'm hoping. :)
 
Geez Tyson, certainly a man of your abilities should be able to scratch-build a set of antlers.

Should be similar to making a deciduous tree? How about using a piece of stranded wire to form them, and coating the result with a thin layer of plaster or solder or something??

PS - My brother-in-law bagged a 3-1/2 point buck just the other day. Should have been a 5-pointer but he hit it pretty square on.
 
If any of those bucks in that Model Power set look like they might work, I'd be happy to send you one! Send me a PM if you're interested. Meanwhile, I'm going to ponder how to ship something that small! :D

Try a local Arts & Crafts store or a place like Michaels they may have them. I picked mine up for 25 cents each in a local craft store, sorry I did not buy more because they went out of bussiness after 35 years or I would get you one. If you have any Flea Markets near you try there. If I find one I my travels I will send it to you.

Below are some figures I've done in HO with a material I call "Ploop" i.e. Plastic Goop. It consists of sprue material disolved in liquid cement. Works like putty and takes about 48 hours to harden up. Just might be your ticket. These started out life in a variety of poses (the couple in amour were cobbled together out of 5 different figures, the sunbabe from 3) Bambi the Biker babe started out life as a Plasticville minister and the minister was a banker. The 2 bikes were Micro-machines, highly modified.

Here's the finished product. That's all you'll get though til my climax is finished. I don't generally show my work in progress. I like to hide my skeletons and foibles with a good coat of paint first.
