Would you mind showing how you attached the forward section to the lower body? I'm fiddling with my Jetblade/Scourge, its been sitting in storage for a while, and its a pain to transform..lol This is exactly what my Slingshot Repaint was missing..
i simply trimmed off the back of firefly, which was the base figure i used. the top of the plane and the cockpit of jetblade were glued together. the wings however, i attached a swivling part to the wings and to the lower sides of the firefly torso... am i making sense?
I got everything except the swivel... The Wings on Jet blade already have a type of swivel on it. Edit: Would you mind showing what swivel that you used, was it part of Jetblade/Sourge? The wings already are on a swivel.. I'm toying with it now with a scrapped Fire Fly I messed up so I don't screw up the one I plan on using.. If you could.. could you post an image of the guts or a side view?
i used the same swivel on the wings. but i moved it because it would get in the way of fireflys hands. ill try to get some photots
well i was preparing to make a Superion custom way before they announced the combiner wars series. I had the following figures ready: Silverbolt (ultra class) TF cybertron thundercracker (F-16) for sky dive TF classics starscream (F-15) for air raid TF cybertron starscream (F-22) for fireflight ROTF Jetblade for slingshot When i heard about CW, i stopped the project. but when i realized that one of them was a helicopter, it just didnt fit well with me. Same goes for Menasaur, planning to make a wildrider custom. Seeing as how dragstrip transforms, i think reshelling stunticons will be more easier than an aerialbot
How did you remove the pins from the legs, especially the red pieces? Or didn't you do that? I can't get 'em out.
This beat Hasbro/Takara Tomy on so many levels . My I ask the reason for the choice of blue colors on the shoulders ? Sorry to say this but it seems a bit out of place but overall the result is very awesome. I would really like to attempt this myself... hope the mod isn't too difficult.
Hi and thanks. I wanted the arms to look a little different from firefly. I trimmed off the cannons on the tip of his arms. But at a quick glance, putting Slingshot and Firefly side by side, their arms looked too similar. thats why i added the blue, just to add color and make it look different.
Freaking nice ! I don't totally understand the blue shoulders...but I guess that's what makes it your unique Slingshot.
thanks! as ive mentioned on the post before yours, i just wanted the arms to look and feel different from Firefly's
