    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?

    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 :thumbs2: . 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.
