I couldn't find the old that we used to have for this sort of thing. Basically this is the thread where you can ask fellow gamers for parts and whatnots. You all know how this goes, so I'll leave it at that.

I'm looking for eight plastic NV goggles from space marine scout kits.

In particular the sniper scouts and biker scout boxed sets. I have found these to be excellent conversion fodder that fits onto FW Elysians without making them look idiotic.

I'm reasonable when it comes to swapping and I'm willing to pay through PayPal, just don't push your luck with overly absurd prices. This guild has several people in it that can vouch for my honesty and fairness in trades.

From the scouts I had, these actually fitted to special grooves on the head and were just the eyepieces; are you aware of this/have another solution?

They should fit just fine with a little cutting on the sides, I was able to do it without any trouble. IRC the top slightly sticks out but that's okay. I can have a little look around with the club, maybe I can hassle some more out of Gerry's bits box.

They fit perfectly otherwise I wouldn't ask. :XP:

Winnie, if you could it would be great! I've tried Bitzbox UK but they're all out of those for some time now. Once I've got enough of those goggles I can turn to the whole ordeal of ordering some more Elysians and those respirator heads for that conversion. What did you use for the silencers btw?

I think I still have a couple from my Snipers, but they're in a box somewhere. Is this a long-term need, if I get ahold of them later?

Chances of me dropping $73 on a squad of Elysians and a pack of respirator heads any time soon are slim, so it has no real priority as of yet, it just helps to get some of the fiddly parts in advance.

Good news and bad news.

Good: Gerry has some.

Bad: Gerry needs them for his own things.

I'm afraid I can't help you.

Well, thanks for looking. I'll have to search elsewhere then.

edit.

I got them dirt cheap at Bits and Kits for just £5,40, including the crappy scout heads. Not bad for eight of them.

Hi guys Iv got a paypal account so all ok.
im in need of 4 or 5 Eldar Canopys if your not sure what im taking about its the window things on the cockpits of the eldar tanks.

im short by a few and need them to finish painting the tanks.
also if anyone has any eldar antenna array i need atleast 8 of these
and also any holo-field gems and Vector engine upgrades

these cost a bomb from forgeworld one Vehicle upgrade pack.
Includes: Crystal Targeting Matrix, Spirit Stone, Holofield Projectors x4, Vectored Engines x2, Star Engines x2, Shuriken Cannon.) = £14.90 this is only enough Upgrades to kit one Tank so i'm trying to cut down on the costs.

so if anyone has any of the parts above even if there painted i'll be very greatful and willing to pay over paypal.

the Main thing iv after out of these is the Star engines, Vector engines and Holo-field projectors. as soon as iv got enough of these my borther will be able to Resin cast a few.

@Andre_kelfar11: PROTIP: Only ask for parts in the future and don't tell people about illegal activities such as recasting. It's bad for trades.

Here is a pleasant thread about why recasting is BAD.

Got a standing need for Shuriken Cannons of either the Warwalker variety or the Wave Serpent variety.
