Replicator blocks

Do anyone know if it is possible to find Replicator blocks (or is it bricks?) somewhere these days? They used to be rather easy to find, and cheap, some years ago but now they seems to be hard to find.

If you can't find them commercially, try your hand at molding them yourself. It's not as hard as you may think. I've made a lot of parts for my modeling hobby, once you've done it, you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

You don't need a lot of different style blocks, maybe 5. Carve a master in wood, make an RTV mold, and make your blocks out of resin. Use Testor's metalizer lacquer to paint to blocks when cured. The buffing metalizer allows you to get many variations in sheen and depth of color, it just depends on how long you buff the parts. They also make a non buffing metalizer. Between the two, you can make every block look different. Use super glue to assemble your "Replicator", Other glues do not work well with resin.

I have been thinking of that. But unfortunately haven't found any place that sells resin here in Sweden

I'll keep my eyes peeled. (That is one strange expression by the way. Do WHAT to my eyes!?!?)

I have found some sites in Sweden, by the way, who sell all kinds of resin, silicons and wax things. If I get the time perhaps I'll give it a try.

Just take it slow and easy, once you start you'll be anxious to get your blocks done, this is when you'll make a mistake. So don't rush. You'll probably have to make several master molds so you'll have plenty of blocks to work on as the next batch is curing.

Looks like it, yes. I was thinking of having one with perhaps 5-6 blocks in a row, for legs and such, but it seems hard to sculpt.
