Been thinking about this for a while now..... One of the most sought after display items, the ceramic Bob head, has anyone tried to make their own?

Surely it must be fairly simple to make a mold using an existing Bob head? Then use, say plaster of Paris poured in to the mold? Once set, remove, smooth of and bobs your uncle (groan!)

I'd give It a go but don't have a Bob. Though I'd happily have a reproduction if someone could make one?

It has been done, but the amount and price of producing the mold, and the fact that you only can create a few before it falls apart, makes it somewhat cost prohibitive.

I've actually just read a thread about it on another forum and the bitch fest that resulted.

Scrap it, and bin this thread :0)

I'm half tempted to go over there and see.

For anyone wondering...

not an advisable idea. Trust me, you fools don't wanna tangle with Oakley legal in any way shape or form. If they won't approve a link to their site to any 3rd party NON affiliated site, you damn sure won't have anything good coming out of counterfeiting their display items...Good luck though..

there was a guy selling copys back then, i think i have an e-mail of him, they were not cheap. I have't seen him on ebay in a long time !
