Title says it, but I am looking for speartip replacements. Replacing the originals with brass rod, but the tips are too small to drill out to top them off with. Anyone know of a good place to find some. I would be willing to use plastic GW ones if someone knew some that could take a drillbit to the base. My knowledge of GW plastics is lacking at the present time.
Anyone?

Speartip Replacements?
Lower rating? I ask that you ship first. Also, if I offer a stupidly good deal and you try to negotiate even lower...don't call it bad communication that you didn't get a reply. I deleted the message.

What if you cut some tips from extra sprue, then heat the end of the brass rod then insert into your custom spear tip. I would do this outside or in a well ventilated area, since heating plastic creates fumes. Quick and easy!

Re: Speartip Replacements?
Email the guys at Ironwind Metals. They bought out Ral Parthas old molds and I know that they used to have whole sprues of speartips both with and without pennants attached that were designed to be used with brass rod for the historical line. IIRC each sprue was about 2 inches long and had 6-8 tips or so. Maybe they can still cast you some.
