    Looks like I'll have to pick up another Skydive, because I need this Needlenose on my shelf. It looks fantastic.

    Gonna have to order one of these for a custom I started in 2013. Was a custom class figure with an exclusive head and long-story short, I lost the whole WIP. Nice work, btw. Skydive works surprisingly well for Needlenose :thumb

    You've seen through my plan! How about target masters for arms and power masters for legs?

    This is sweet looking stuff! Very clean, and I really like how it fits together. I think I'll be buying this next payday!

    This looks AMAZING- I was looking at my G1 Needlenose not an hour ago

    wishing I had a modern update, and up pops this gorgeous looking thing!

    This thing is a MASSIVE success! BRILLIANT!

    Sheer GENIUS ! :bay 

    The wings and head are 3d printed I assume?

    Will you be looking at giving him his Double Target Master Weapons?

    And if your going for Target Masters for the arms- I going to take a wild guess

    and figure you'll do Needlenose's old partner in crime Spinister out of

    Alpha Bravo :cool:

    Question: what kind of plastic did you use for yours? I don't know if I should get FUD or just the white strong flexible plastic.

    The wing is WSF and the head is FUD. Definitely FUD for the head. Only way to get the details out, and also because WSF is like a sponge is is impossible to get fine separations between different paint colors.

    Excellent, I've always been keeping an eye out for Needlenose because he was usually a pal of Spinister in the old comics.

    Very nicely done. The F-16XL is a gorgeous plane, but almost forgotten nowadays---I freely admit to liking Needlenose just for his alt-mode.

    This and your other upgrades make me wish I had any kind of 3D modelling skill. The CW line is full of potential for things like this.

    Got my heads! They look fantastic! Now all I need is a new hose attachment for my brush and I'm good to go :D 

    Wasn't expecting three heads though as I ordered one. But I'll pick up an extra Skydive to make a Needlenose that can combine. Might get the wings sometime too. Pics in a bit.
