I have a shortage of high elf shields, how do you guys tackle the problem?
Do people make their own?
Craft a master then made green stuff molds?
DO people use a specific website for bits such as this?

Obviously I could clone the proper shields using green stuff but I think that is perhaps a little off so I'm looking for alternatives

I havn't been able to find them quickly, but if you want to buy some the first place I'd look is TheWarStore. You may have to ask them directly, because of the restrictions GW has put on buying their products from other internet sites, but I've dealt with them in the past and been treated very well.

Personally, I cast my own copies in some mould silicone I already had, with JB Weld as my medium. Generally turns out pretty good, though not always. :no:

"Instant Mould" is an excellent product to cover those kinda problems with missing shields.
You only need 1 original and you can make the missing ones by yourself by a little greenstuff into the mould.
Once done, you can put your mold back into hot water and re-use it for something else. Great stuff, well worth it's £10 !!

(just don't sell your self-casted ones... that would be illegal)

Hey, I think I'll get some of that instant mold too, actually, I wish I knew about that earlier.

Kudos, tBB! I never heard of that stuff before, but it sounds like something I need!
