like other people, I wan to have more BB balls, but green stuff is unknow here.
I tried to made some new balls with different products, but the result is...
well, not so good.
but I discover some really useful to made new balls: olive seed.
the only problem is that ou have to eat a complete can just to find to suitable balls. this is not a problem to me (I love olives).
do you have a better idea?

Green stuff and a little rolling between the hands...
Or make copies of the originals (altering them slightly of course so as to avoid lawsuits) out of putty, greenstuff...

Haven't done this yet, but I don't see why it wouldn't work:
Take some play-doh and press a ball half way into it. Take the ball out and let the play-doh harden. You can use something fancier than play-doh, but why waste the good stuff making a mold.
Then do the other half of the ball in a new mold. Fill in the molds, remove the halves, and glue them together.

Its funny you said this, cause I did this just this week. I used Sculpy (modeling clay) instead of playdoh, but either should work. I did not bake the sculpy, this shrinks the mold. I made half molds of the ball in the sculpy, got out a candle and a spoon (NOT what you're thinking
) and melted some old scrap lead. Careful when you're doing this. Drop the lead into the molds. The sculpty cooks around the lead and you remove the halfs. Its a fairly easy process. Its not a PRO looking ball but when painted it pasts the test.

The same way you copy keys of unsuspecting hotties at the bar...
