Hi all, Do you know this eBay seller ? He sells 3 Aliens replica kits : Flame thrower, PR and Motion Detector. They look nice... have you bought from him ? About cast quality ? Reg, Sven |

This the South African seller? Yea I have avoided him due to a gut feeling he was a recaster. |

I bought a tracker kit from him 7-8yrs ago before he was 'relocated' to S. Africa. The casting was shockingly bad and further more, in-accurate. I would avoid him/her/them. On the plus side, due to him taking a while to post he threw in about £40-50 worth of other stuff to make up for it. Rough with the smooth as they say.... |

Lance is in the UK, recaster....and not a very good one I'm afraid. Avoid at all costs. In a nutshell...see previous posts. |

as an alternative i used mooncrestmodels (web site and ebay name) i purchased a resin camera for a helmet, and the cast was very good, much better than the ebay picture depicted - and also told me there going to be doing armour as well soon dont know about the rest of there items but i was very happy with the camera quality all i did was to clean it of its oils and usual resin properties, no filler or sanding work, just primed it and a lick of humbrol spray to see how it looked:  and with a lick of paint:

Do we know the source of their molds? I'm just intrigued. |

They (Mooncrest) say from Alien War, cleaned and reworked. Edited for clarity |

yes thats the one, mooncrest stated they used alien war, but the earlier ask may be pointed towards where global got the casts from |

No it was mooncrest I was wondering about. I just try to ID the recasters and the legit sellers/molders. |
