Try some Wasrhammer sets at your local gaming store.

I think that they're available from Replicas & Miniatures of Maryland as well.

That looks good but a touch on the large size.

It strikes me that the heads of 1/72 jet pilots (jet pilots as they have bigger helmets*) could be modified (by someone with better eyes than me) into a skull which would be closer to the correct size for a gear knob.

Thanks for the info,I will check it out.

What I want is something close to the one in the pic.

Norm carved his own; tikis too. but I think the military modelers would have what you need (see above post). or just whittle one out of sprue if it's going to be a one-off part.

I plan on building Norms T. And this is about the best pic I have found of it. It looks to be fairly basic with out the bloody top like a lot of Norms skulls.

Go to google images and search "hot wheels rigor motor" and you may find what you are looking for. I would post an image but I am on my tablet and posting images from it is very difficult.

yeah toner has that right, I bought up a few of those years ago cheap, just for the skulls to use as shift knobs.

or the Rep and Min ones are very nice and more finished looking

I have (do not know what kit it came from) a 1/25 skull and shifter. cannot put a picture up yet and I do not want to give it up, but I will be more than happy to sent it to someone who can clean it up and cast it. it has a coat of white paint on it. I will see if I can dig it up and get a good picture of it tonight.

[Jon Haigwood]

Out of the 400 or so Hot Wheels I have I don't have that one. But I know a guy that will.

tubbs ,I have never did any casting but maybe someone else can

[mnwildpunk]

Got to thinking I was at the dollar store awhile back and picked up a set of five skeletons on nooses that would probably work for what you are doing let me find em and send ya a pic

[tubbs]

Jon, did you find your skull yet. i am still searching for mine. think i may have put it in a project box. i will keep looking.

[Jon Haigwood]

Not yet I am still looking for a Rigor Motor Hotwheel

The Monogram street T Roadster has a skull shift knob. The T bucket with the little trailer included in the kit. The issue that I have has the gold plating but I think it was also issued with chrome as a goodguys kit. probably issued other times too. FWIW the skull in the T kit is just about the same size as the skulls on the rigor motor hot wheels.

A chap on eBay, prosplus sells resin shifters with skull knobs.
