airsoft is like paintball but with realistic looking replica bb guns.
And yes i could sell them with a 20 day turnaround although im sure i wouldnt even need that long!
Im gonna need an airbrush set though thats where ive been sorry, pricing them up. I should get a decent one for about 50 quid plus postage. I thought I could even offer to customise masks people already own, then thats a clean profit! I just pay for paint and time...oh my mind is whirring now haha

ooh, way to go. An idea and researched already !!

A gold star to whitewillow

do you have masks you can customise yourself without too much cost involved? If so, can you take some photos, and email me them and I'll see if my cousin can help with advertising or contacts. Knowing me he probably works in KFC now and would only be able to offer a sauce sachet contact.

That sounds brilliant...day one and our chat has already created two ideas!!

I'm glad other people are awake. Makes me feel less weird!

No good - must sleep.

Just fell asleep typing on the laptop and woke up when I headbutted the edge of the screen - ouch. Nice bruise to try and hide from other mums at the school run.

aww thank you MMTWGR that would be amazing! Im gonna order an airbrush kit tomorrow once Ive spoken to DH to see if its a good one im buying, then start marking up designs and stencils I can actually ask a few mates who play with us if i can practise on their masks, so i dont have to pay and free advertising! haha this is gonna be great!

Saucysecrets - i sleep for 3 hours a night lol im an insomniac now i think

also, not sure I can mention it here and if not please feel free to delete the post, but gumtree is a good place to list things like this. generally it is free and you might be able to list it under perhaps a service (which I know is generally free cept in london as I have loads of adverts out there now) and also under the for sale listings, but not sure if there is a fee on them or not. I have learned that you can be pretty creative with gumtree, just to avoid wanting to pay, re-do your listings every few days, time consuming yes, but free advertising is worth it especially right now.........am happy to help anyone that needs to as it can be pretty time consuming, but sometimes a good way to get your name about so to speak..

just my two pennies worth......now if I could just find a magic fairy right now I would be truely smiling....

Ive just checked ebay and masks like this are mainly coming from china, at over 40/50 quid with shipping! Some are bin £75 plus £15 postage from Thailand! Surely people would prefer to buy from me? esp when i can do it for half that and still make an amazing profit! (masks will cost approx a tenner each)

Awww, MMTWGR, I hope it doesn't hurt too much!

WW - I've got fibro, so my sleeping habits were always odd, but my OH is used to going to sleep at 5am now, so that's what always happened...He had a 9am meeting this morning, I felt really sorry for him. He came back at 10am and we went to sleep til 4pm, haha. (Talking of him, he's playing Fifa as Arsenal, so every few minutes it says Fabregas! It's very distracting...:rotfl:)

I'm glad you are feeling inspired It sounds like an exciting venture!

They might take 20 - 30 days from Thailand anyway, so you would be cheaper, quicker and friendlier. I never get a reply from foreign sellers (might just have had bad experiences ) and its frustrating. Also, you are never 100% certain they have paid shipping taxes etc..

So I personally would go for UK seller.
