Big candle holders

[JollyBob]

Where can I get some? 

I'm after a couple like the pair from this GW set:



But I don't feel like spending eighteen bloody quid for the privelige.

Does anybody know of any other manufacturers that do something similar? Or failing that, has anybody scratchbuilt any and how hard was it?

Much obliged.

Take a trip to the bead shop - fairly easy to stick two or three together to get the candle holder, candle is best done from green stuff.

how ornate do you want it?

I reckon you could do a nice wrought iron one with some plastic rod and selected plastic letters like I did for a hatstand...

Some interesting ideas, thanks fellas. A good place to start if nothing else.

how many do you want, as I've got one sat around doing nothing since GCSE drama

Perhaps these ones from Thomarillion could be useful:

I need two, really, but thanks for the offer. 

Tsune, those Thormarillion ones are great, thanks!

I'm a little late, here, but I think that Mega Minis has some, too....

At least one or two of the Reaper packs come with massive candle holders or candelabras.  You may be able to snag those separately.

I know that Reaper has some that comes in a set with an alter wit a girl for it.

The candelabras have snakes coiled around them...

Look for a party shop JollyBob, one of those places were mums go to get plastic do-dads to decorate cakes an such. I have one near me and I've found that the universal decoration for communion is a candlestick, gold painted plastic ones from 2.5" to 4-5''. Check around town.

I would suggest a bead shop.

Cheap decorative beads stacked on top of each other, with the advantage of a hole through the middle so you can reinforce the join with a bit of wire and also pin it to a base. If the wire pokes out of the top end too you're half way to a candle.

I really have to third this recommendation, especially as there are 'antiqued' "sculpted' metal beads that may require no painting at all. I wouldn't  be surprised if that's how the GW sticks occurred, save if they don't do it from scratch, less for the lawyers to work with if someone tries to copy. ;->=

Some more good recommendations, thanks. 

I was halfway to ordering the the Thormarillion ones and some of their torches in brackets, and feeling guilty about kind of copping out and taking the easy option rather than scratchbuilding some.

Now I just have to find a bead-shop in the back end of bugger all and I'm sorted. Or if not I'll be making a small contribution to the German economy after all.
