Or better yet tell me how to go about making my own. ( only ever use GS to fill gaps in models)

You could use the GW basing Kits eagles and find a \"U\" to make the shape you are after.
Then you can make an original and from it create a green stuff mould to cast multiple copies.

That\'s what practice is for

As DR says, if you have shoulder pads with eagles on them then it should be pretty simple to add a U. Once it\'s cured take a mould from that to cast copies - mould should be good for at least as many as you have in mind, although details do soften a bit with use.

I\'d recommend using a light dusting of talc as the release agent, both for making the mould and for the copies; if you find a cast is a bit stubborn coming out give the thing a blast with the hairdryer or drop it into some hot water and it should pop out fine.

Not every cast will be perfect more than likely so don\'t sweat it if you get a couple that are sub-par; I\'d suggest casting ten or twelve so you can pick the best of the lot.

try epoxey putty milliputs good plus if you want to produce molds 4 copies you decrease the amount of hardener slightly that gives you a flexible mold you can also use silicone based sprays to stop the stuff sticking together back to black car polish is good, p.s ive done some fancy ultra marine pads feel free to have a peek although they arent the size you\'re looking for they might give you some ideas good luck
