Wanted: Totally Broken K10D and/or K100D

[youngstu]

Hello
I am in the process of building a water housing for my camera to take surf photos from in the sea. I have made one so far but there are improvements to be made and I want to make a fibreglass housing using a process called vacuum bagging. Ideally I want to make it to the exact size of the camera but I don't want to risk the camera getting filled with Fibreglass resin/rubber or heat damaged. (I haven't decided yet how to make my mold. So I am after a K10D and K100D that is totally broken, flooded, dropped etc, that can't be fixed so that I can mould over it without risking damaging a working camera.
If anyone has one lying around then I'd like to buy it for a small cost (and the postage of course).

Thanks

Stuart

I don't have one, but it sounds like a cool project. Post some pictures when you're done!

Have you considered contacting Pentax directly? They may be willing to part with a broken unit for cheap.
