Can anyone tell me where I can get longer smokestacks/tailpipes for 2007 Movie Voyager Class Ironhide OR at least tell me how to make them longer?

try some play dough and some crafting wire with a hobby knife and try that if that doesnt work try melting some metal with a mold maybe?

Hate to burst your bubble, but i think epoxy would work better than playdough.

I'd just go buy an aluminium rod, the same diameter as the original smokestacks, then use epoxy (I assume the original stacks are hollow) in the center as a temporary joint. Once dry, sand smooth, then permanently secure it with some solder along the seam line. Then sand/carve/shape as you like.

Alternatively, have you ever considered just commissioning them from someone?
