    replacement rubber skin for SMDM

    Does anybody know of a rubber replacement arm skin for Six million dollar man figure. I've seen one made of nylon fabric but does anyone know of a source for a real replica skin?

    Thanks,
    Drzaius1

      I don't know why, but it seems the skin is in much better condition on the Critical Assignment arms I've run across than on the standard arms. Also, if the guy making nylon skin is still in business, someone please hook me up with his contact info. It seems like all I get is dead links. Thanks!

        Theres this guy that pops up once in a while on ebay selling SMDM and BW rubber skins.....i bought one from him and its just like the original, flesh color and all,....of course,..you can also use the long thin Balloons they sell in different colors and sizes for water balloons,..use the pink one, remove the arm, use the end of the balloon for the shoulder part and carefully slide down, once down, paint over it with flesh color acrylics, sealer,..and voula!!!!

          There is some vinyl dip
          but you have to mix the colors in order to get flesh tone

                What about using REAL flesh?

                It could be the next "great cause", you could get folks to 'donate' -

                  Ditto for me. I'm glad the topic came up. I've been unsuccessful in finding the nylon alternative. I had to remove the original skin on all my SMDM & BW because of the aged rot.

                        It usually takes till noon for me to get this freaked out in a day !!!!!!!


                        I've been using flesh tone monster mask Latex for years. ANd I just did a slip mold of a sculpture. The slip mold ( probabbly wrong term) peels off my castings like . . . . a foreskin? Just like teh SMDM arms.

                        (NOTE* I already cant beg my wife anymore than I do to learn how to work our new camera. And I'm clueless . Sorry. )

                              You know... this is a topic I've been wondering about myself. One of our Steve's skinless. I may try the finger condom or balloon method.

                              Thanks for the ideas, boys!
