Its finally finished guys! This is a test shot of the smaller Dairugger sword based off of tbe ebay plastic Dairugger/Gb-72.
The pictures show the raw metal casted sword and the chromed diecast sword. The little round its are hip replacements for the Hybrid Figuration Stormtrooper that has brittle hips...making those too.
So question is who wants one? And who wants to donate a DX size sword to make a full size diecast one? You get a diecast in return since its lost in the process.
Also looking for MP sword ... if its ever released.

The die-cast sword would make a great novelty item "Letter Opener" for those of us RJers who work office jobs. Beautiful piece there, bro!  zozo-mag |

Ufff! Those look real good! I'm almost tempted to give my DX sword up!!! }D the casting process pretty much kills the original because of the intense heat during the galvanizing process of mold production. But what is left is a mold to produce a nice diecast piece. |

Cool stuff. I like where this could be heading. Initially the idea was to make replacement body parts in metal for the ebay Dairugger but the plastics would not survive the galvanizing process due to how thin it is but if anyone has ideas for repro diecast parts, let me know |

How about getting "junker" loose parts from Ebay? }D Thats been an idea too. BTW, I am dying to show you guys how the swords came out...I have to keep it secret until the last moment, but my mind is blown. really cool stuff. Ant notoriously weak or commonly broken parts on any robots you guys can think of? There is a big CMs Votom figure with horrible shoulders Ive been thinking of fixing. Forgot the name...on the tip of my tongue...its blue hehe 1/60 Valk shoulders need a bit of flex, so thats no good as diecast. |

The knees on the CM's GaoFighGar. It didn't get a metal knee replacement like the V.2 GaoGaiGar did.

I'd be willing to donate a sword from the Miracle Voltron when I get one, I'm pretty sure it will be smaller then the old DX one.
