Just wondering what people have come up with as far as Space Marine helmets.
I have a conversion I am working on and need to find a helmet.
There are a few of us around here that can cast up the originals. It's a totally unofficial 'bitz service' but if you're after one I can pop one in the post to you. Just PM me your address.
Sweet. PMed ya.
Here are my 2 Space Marines thus far.
I had to cut the legs at the knee, cut one foot off, and cut the lower body. Then I proceeded to pin everything together.
I eventually would like to have 3 of these guys. I have 3 Eldar types and should be getting 3 Tau figures. It would be nice to have different weapons on each figure, but I don't have any options at present other than what they came with.

You can usually source 54mm weapons from 40k ones as the scale is hugely off in 40k. MArines are a bit harder because they're so much bigger but look to 40k Heavy weapons. I think a cut down Plasma Cannon works as a Plasma Pistol on a Marine. The Space Wolf Dreadnought Weapons work well as well. I think the Dreadnight Sword/Hammer scales pretty well as well. (I'm going to use the sword when I finally get around to my Marine).
Otherwise, I've seen Malicants Chainsword used numerous times but it is a touch small. Bolt pistols are also easily made by cutting down the Boltgun. In fact I have a resin one sitting about. I'll pop it in the post with the Helmet for you.
ogre weapons work too; check The First Founding Project (http://buildyourimagination.co.uk/minis/gallery_first_founding.php); imperial fists one is a good one :)
