I have a few beetlebacks in poor condition and would like to rebase them and dont want to go to the effort of cutting the feet out of the base (the 1 piece mold)

Are there any foot replacement options out there that people have found?

Sounds like a perfect job for pressmolding using e.g. Bluestuff.

I'd think something built with the old rubble claws would work well with some plasticard

A Green-stuff press mould should work well, otherwise yeah rubble claws are your option.

http://blu-stuff.com/ If you like gadgets and don't want to wait for the GS-mold to cure. Lots of fun me thinks.

I replaced all my titan feet with press moulded using blu-stuff. I used milliputty for casting because its harder than GS

thanks for your opinions guys, been looking on ebay for dread feet and saw sentinel feet, do you think sentinel feet would work? or is the ball joint too deep?
