Thank you. Perhaps it could be a bit bigger. Sometimes this stuff is hard to gauge until you hold it.

Appreciate the compliments! What do you think though, beefier like UltraMagnus2008 has suggested? My system is still down so I don't have an ETA when I can revise that though.

Here are painted/assembled pics of the current prototype. I may give the Alumilide a go next round.

That does look like a better Striker gun!

Could you do a Buster cannon too?
Platano power!

It does look a tad small. Maybe make a bigger one for leader and a smaller one for voyager...

Thanks! Hmm a Buster cannon. That's from ROTF yes? We'll see if I get time, my modeling computer is still down.

Yeah after visiting with it, it does feel small for leader. It feels a tad large for voyager, but I kinda like it.

Thank you very much!

I picked up a TFP Optimus to see what that scale looked like. What do you guys think?

Optimus Cannon
So I finally had a chance to increase the size of OP's cannon. It seems that a 30% increase in size equates to a 200% increase in volume, which means the price doubled. I'm not happy about that but there it is. I have not ordered a new, larger sample yet as I think I want to try and print it myself, and the smaller one worked perfect so there's no reason this one won't. I've activated it in my Shapeways store for anyone interested.

Optimus Shield
I am at a point where I can order a new sample of this. Again, I think I want to print it myself though. How many of you are chomping at the bit for this stuff?

Optimus Abs
Since Amazon is now selling an exclusive Jet Wing, will you guys be picking that up or do you still want to convert ROTF OP to DOTM?

DOTM trailer is still in the pipe, haven't given up on it. In fact it's even more possible with new tools on the horizon.

I preordered the Amazon Jetwing but I'm still interested in modding my ROTF leader with your parts.
