Got some pretty shiny upper legs. Are they chrome painted?
The arms look good for both being non-shooting versions.

On hole sizes
For the Daimos leg daggers, looks like 9/64"
And for the chest piece, 5/32"

I am back from a little vacation. I will try to take a look or play with hole sizes. Thought it was around 1/8" for the hole size for the Daimos parts to press into.

I don't know of any place that has them any longer. It's been some time since I saw one on ebay for sale. Been watching out for one myself.

Soon is always subjective I am in the mix with a placed order to have a variety of sticker sets on-hand, this has just happened over the last week. And then as one set is sold, I can see about replacing it. I don't have a timeline for when I will have then in hand at the moment. Thanks.

Welcome to the forum. I know a few guys use the Ikea Detolf cases, wish I had a nearby store as the price is very nice.
Sorry to hear you sold your collection. Wish I had gotten the jumbo bug a few years sooner. I do quite a bit of repro work as even the "not so great shape" popy ones are commanding good prices these days.

Yes indeed. I know Kanon over in Italy, I believe, has done 2 or 3 jumbo replicas. I, myself, created a custom Spazer and am looking at molding a complete Dangard Ace some time this Summer even though it isn't an ultra rare jumbo, its price and seeing one listed is making it harder to come by. It is a popular jumbo with the Shogun Warrior comic tie in that a couple members would like to have.
My repro work is in pretty good demand at times and seems like we have to fight over fixer uppers more and more.
A few jumbos, I have pretty much erased off my "would like to get" list, but I do keep my searches going in case I can find a sleeper auction.

Instead of flipping houses, looks like they have switched over to jumbos. Less property taxes I assume for doing that

Enjoy some time to yourself Wes. Hope you make some awesome stuff for yourself. I am hoping on that and be sure to stop in at my above jumbo Facebook page from time to time. I plan to tease/show off my more current happenings as is just really easy to pick and upload the smartphone photos that I would like to share. I am not really a blogger and slow to update my main site for more current happenings. So, it works well for me.

Anyone requesting parts after this post, be prepared to possibly go onto a list that I will re-visit when I have more time, and cooler temperatures in my work shop. I appreciate all the requests that you guys have given to me and love helping to restore jumbos. But have a couple large items that I need to fulfill, and then want to spend more of my free time getting back on custom items, personal projects, and enjoying peaceful Summer evenings after a hectic day at work. As long as you aren't in a big rush for an item, don't worry, I am pretty good at getting to them when I can. Shoot me your list and I will write it down and check with you later on when I may get to them and check if you still want them or not. That is why I don't like to take pre-payments, so then no one can say I took their money and still waiting on their items. If you really need something quickly, am sure a large bribe would work I'll still be around plenty, but seems like we had another long Winter, a short Springtime, and jumping into Summer pretty quickly. I just like to bundle things and not have to run the air conditioner out in the shop for a few items. Thanks.

Ragnar92071, shot you a reply to your e-mail.
As the Summer heat starts to rise up, part requests tend to go on a list to be looked at towards cooler Fall. I will see what I can do for you, but may be towards mid July possibly.

I am working on being a middleman for possible sticker requests, but may be a bit of time when that happens. If / when it does, I will post details on it.

Looks like ebay has forced me to reset my password. Good-bye simple little 4 letter password and welcome to the new age.

My local TRU is 2 hours away. So this was kick ass for me to just order online.

Hobby Lobby carries some cheap to higher end airbrushes. I like to use their 40% coupon, and could see how the prices pan out compared to buying online or somewhere else. I got an older Testors (now Aztek) double action air brush when I did more model building about 15 years ago.
