    yea go for it man, im gonna get around to modding my Rotf one day but id like to see that cloak with wires of staying power used on anyone elses custom that would like to. you can double up weak twist ties in a tight spiral for a crude strong bendy wire. im going to try double or triple twisted brown pipe cleaners first.

    Looking good! I'd really like to see you tackle a transforming version of this, maybe not as near screen correct ,but I think you could pull it off.

    This is definitely turning out amazingly!

    I'm thinking... is it possible that hasbro didn't come out with a leader meg because they couldn't find a convincing / good transform design for him? as good as the voyager is, don't think the robot mode is close to the movie design?

    (yeah, I'd probably just go with they wanted to focus on TFP rather than a "dead" line like movies)
