My mate has made one in pretty much the same way out of a crocodile teddy he got from the states (I'll ask him to put a pic up). He's been using it for a while and there hasn't been any problems regarding the site rules, in fact everyone keeps asking him where the hell he came up with the idea!

I was thinking that if people liked the idea I would make more and sell them as my sisters got loads of them, and I saw it on a video on youtube, paintball kitty was her name she had a hippo on hers. I just need more barrel socks to make them

It's an alligator actually Dan...

:tsk:

I was thinking along the same lines, starting to produce them and sell them on to people through here and UKS etc. To be honest I think the guy that makes them on TechPB pretty much has his business plan and supply chain worked out, it costs around $15-$20 For a custom sock including shipping which is between £10-£14...

By the time I've costed in a barrel sock and a beanie baby it's not very practical. I might do a few and see how they sell, but I'm not so sure it'll be on dragons den or anything just yet

am gonna do the same once i get some more barrel socks

 

[cambojnr]

know a website where i can get some cheap barrel socks?

 

[MeDiC]

You're on it mate. Check the for sale threads, I picked up a BT and a generic site branded one. They cost about £2-£3 a piece.

 

[cambojnr]

well the site i play at just got a lot of bt4's new in the box, and he selling them socks for 2,50. i'll have to try them cause bt socks are alot wider than eclipse ones, thans though, and could you put a pic up of your alligator one up?

 

[MeDiC]

I'll put one up later, no worries.

My bad

Although in my defence, with the way you made it and where the barrel goes, it does seem more like a croc-OHHHHHHHHH-dile!
