Casting some Aurora parts. Need some?
I'm finally going to be able to cast some parts for a few guys next weekend. The RTV's on its way and I've ordered the resin. While the molds are out, I might as well cast multiples, so if anyone here needs any parts listed, just let me know and I'll send them to you free of charge.
Original Spiderman:
Name plate
Atomic Pistol
Can
Blackbeard:Pistol belt
Original Robin: Test tubes and Flask
Original Batman: Owl.
The only thing I ask is that you actually need these parts to restore or finish your Auroras.

Chris, that's really cool (awesome) of you to offer. I personally don't need any of these (now) but I know others may. Top notch sir, you're a class act!
*However, if by chance you do any HULK stuff in the future keep me in mind, as I'm getting ready to restore one I have (need namplate, burst, etc)
**By the way, I'm almost done with a Superman restore I started a few months ago and will post pics this week. -- Man oh man, those bricks...

Hey Chris...I know you're casting the Batman owl for me, and for that Thank You Very Much But surely postage can't be free in Oz,(nor packaging) so PM me and let me know the cost...or can I reciprocate? Are there any parts you need? Man I've got a bunch of model pieces from a schwack of kits...let me know,

Thanks Geoff and Mcdee. The postage for a few parts is minimal so that doesn't concern me. If that's all it's gonna cost me to know there's a now complete built kit on someones shelf it's worth every cent!! I just think it's a crying shame that there's so many fantastic Auroras out there that only need an impossible to find part or 2 to be complete and displayed. Let's face it- these kits are damned expensive and if we're only interested in building them for display, it's worth it to me to know you guys have complete models. More get finished, more are seen and admired. That's why I ask that the parts are needed, not just hoarded.
You never know- it might just start a trend...... 
Chris.
ps: Geoff, If I ever get a Hulk kit, I'll let you know and cast anything you need.

Sadly, what I need is a hand and a knife for my Tarzan.

I thought I had those parts but I've just looked and I've lost the knife!! I can help with the hand though. It's already glued together so it'd be a single casting.
PM me if you want me to cast it.

I'm pretty sure the Hulk nameplate is available, along with the smoke puffs. Try Partspit.com
Chris- I can use the can nameplate and gun for my Spidey, but I insist on paying shipping or some sort of compensation. I shipped a kit to Brisbane yesterday and it was 22$ US!

Can you imagine how many Auroras could be brought back to life if we all helped each other out??? I've had this idea for a while, but I didn't know how well recieved it would be. The only thing I've thought about for a long time is how many of these fine kits must be languishing in boxes because of 1 or 2 missing parts. I know I'd rather build a kit than have it sitting in a dark corner because of a missing piece!!
F-91, ask and ye shall recieve. Thanks for the offer of postage but to be honest mate, I'd rather know I was helping to rescue your kit. Plus paypal would eat it so there's no real benefit. PM me.

BTW- I sent some Aurora Viking parts to Chuck Hroch, so if anyone needs a shield, sword and scabbard, helmet and wings, just drop him a line. Chris, PM sent.

be careful guys,
i am not a lawyer, nor do i play one one tv,
as long as fine individuals like this are willing to help others at their expense, everything is cool...
but,
if you pay him for the parts, your steppin on someones copyrights.
covering the shipping is totally acceptable though.
not being negative, applaud the efforts of those who "pay it forward", world would be much better place,
just my two cents.....
i'm jack, and I approved this message

Gray area for sure, since many of the companies or rights holders do not exist anymore.
