My version of the Roadbuster Impactor - I've got a shelf full of Wreckers and they needed a (good scaled) Leader. Shapeway parts: 2 times now that Shapeways has had problems with one of my orders for Impactor parts (I always opt for the fine detailed-pricey parts when available) This time they got me the head, back treads and the hook/drill bit hand attachments but couldn't make the canon. Got refunded but I'd rather have the canon. Anywhooooo.... Actual hand is from a KO Tigertrack, front treads are from G1 TwinTwist. Chest, knees and top of feet are just parts from the bins and looked good to me. Paint is a couple of spraycans of satin/matte colors. Purple in particular is a brand that Michael's carries, color of the wrapper is the color in the can. But this stuff paints nice, finishes smooth (I prefer matte finishes) and I haven't seen any chipping or rubbing. It also takes a paintwash well. Make My Getaway! IDW-ish-ish Getaway. Base bot is KO FP Car Crash (Breakdown) which can be seen hmmmyyaaahhrr>>> Head is from Universe Hot Spot, mistransformed legs and Fins added to rear. Mixed the bluish teal and the reddish purple to my own personal liking. It really looks better in person. The one fin fell off once before (and just now, so twice. Time to epoxy) and the superglue has seemed to foul the paint on the fin. drat and double drat.
