I don't know how you define inexpensive, but there are two products that may be of interest to you. Hydrospan - does exactly what you're asking for. http://www.sculpt.com/catalog_98/CastingMaterials/HydroSpan.htm And then there's Hydroshrink, this does the opposite of the above product...

Have you considered nipping down to your local branch of Staples and looking at the "Bic Matic" range of mechanical pencils? They're cheap and very easy to come by, in fact I have loads in various colours - black being one of them. They look just like the example you've shown...

Should be easy to make, but it's not a Sonic Screwdriver, it's part of the Tardis; the Mercury Fluid Link.

Re: Monster Hunter's Kit Prop Display I think this box is gorgeous, but I do have to ask what that black head sculpt is. It looks to me from a movie that I saw decades ago and have wanted to rewatch ever since, but I have no clue as to what it was. All I seem to remember is that whoever...

I was sort of correct, there's two versions of this gun toy: Doctor Who Q.L.A. Anti-Time Devices Comparison | GeekMom | Wired.com Looks pretty cool actually.

I'm certain this gun thing and the new sonic that goes with it aren't actually from the show at all, but are part of some interactive game that you can play with these. If I recall correctly, the gun attaches to an iPhone for said game play.

Yes the pattern on the brass is different, that's what I was talking about previously. One side has a chip like pattern in those little notch outs, the other side doesn't, but the black sections are identical, save for the broken piece in the corner. Those photographs are excellent. Thanks...

I would have said it was smaller than that, perhaps 3"x3"x0.5". The design looks the same to me on both sides, but where that chip thing is in a square on one side, it's blank on the other. Anyone know what type of chain it has? This could be a fun thing to make. Birdie, your replica is...

Regarding your led problem. Look at your snap shot of it, it looks clearly like the led is actually wired to the outside of the prop and pushed in towards the square receiver end, so I think it's still in the game. It's also very possible, if not probable, that if the magnetic part doesn't fit...

The more I look at it, the more I'm sure that the oval is removed and the clip holes are filled, then the Thornton F1 "figure of 8 bit" is popped on top and that covers the larger hole. Part A. If you take the magnetic pick up tool that was used on the phone prop and unscrew the lens end...

You did use Filler Primer? All I can tell you then is that when I use it, I spray far more than you'd normally think you should use. I really ladle the stuff on to ensure the filler gets into everything. Then I dry sand and finish that off with a wet sand. 1500 grit should be more than...

I've had this problem before as any silver paint will show up any and every defect in your finish, even though it looks perfect to the naked eye when prepped for painting. From what I've learnt over the years, there are microscopic flaws in the apparently smooth filler, so what I've done to...

Are my ears deceiving me with that advert? Sounds like it's using the Back to the Future 3 sound track. Interesting combination.

Cyber referes to the key on the far right of his 'three keys' picture as the 'Unknown' key, this is the Stamp Centre key, the others in the centre and far left are obviously the Mooncrest replicas.

Cyber, your 'unknown" key is The Stamp Centre of London's licensed replica from about 5 years ago. They still pop up from time to time on Ebay, though I believe their shop has quite a bit of stock on these left. Holluba
