Wal-Green and Bowling pins

[Blinky]

I was in Wal-greens and They have a set of plastic bowling pins for $10.00 just thought I would let you know . For those that want to make the penguins things . They would work well and are light weight.all tho they are different color plastic I think with a plastic primer coat they should work fine.:) They were about 6" high

Not sure which bowling pins these are, but check the type of plastic - some are made with hard plastic that will break if you are trying to cut it (as in splinter). Some are softer plastic - which can easily be cut.

If you are just painting to turn pins into penguins, then it doesn't matter.

Also, empty 2 liter soda bottles can be used for Empire penguins (just use the bowling ball from the set of pins for the head!).

have a pic, hoghunter?

[thehoghunter]

Sickie - sorry, no pics since I haven't actually made but one practice one (2-liter soda bottle) which got chopped up to become a cover over my electrical extensions (since I don't have any control over the sprinklers in my yard). But I do have 2 sets of bowling pins which may one day become penguins. That and the 2-liter type were my original thoughts for the 'skating' penguin bodies.

Merry Christmas to all!

cool I was looking for some of those wish they were taller though but it will do for now...Hope they still have them

[Blinky]

here is something else I found
http://www.nextag.com/Olympia-Inflatables-Monster-Bowling-582240857/prices-html
they are 33" tall so may be they might make good penguins

[Xmaslilly]

yike those monster pins...thats a little expensive blinkster..
but I think I want something more sturdy ..ty anyways
maybe i can make a mold and do plaster ones or
I wonder what bowling alleys do with the old ones..I should stop at one some day and ask.

[Sickie Ickie]

They sell them off. Look for them on e-bay. You can sometimes buy 10 for around $1-3 apiece. :)

[Blinky]

but they are 6 to the set a nd 33" tall but ok

[Blinky]

after the first when that craft store opens again I will see about the 6' high paper mache'
bowling pins that I was telling you about. You have to have a DBA to buy there and I have one. any way Larry said I should start a pole to see How many people would be interested in buy them. so.. Iam Asking?

do you want them and How many? I have to find the price out I know but if they arent to much?

[Sickie Ickie]

Do you already have a thread with your poll, Blinks?

[Blinky]
