G1 Classics Articulated SkyLynx [DONE]

The_Tracker · 07-29-2012, 08:34 PM

I have a G1 Skylynx I was thinking about selling... you sir are making me have second thoughts. Is there a WIP thread?

Also, what do you use to attach your ball joints and cups to the existing robot? I've tried hobby grade CA glue (Super Glue), Epoxy etc with mixed results.

Amazing work, GREAT JOB!

Wow. I added some articulation to a SG Skylynx a while back, but this really the next level. I love the hinged jaw on Lynx. How did you cut it? I would have destroyed it trying that!

That's pretty dern cool! Aside from looking a bit thin in a few spots and my wondering if the lynx legs can do more cat-like poses (they look spread like a crocodile would stand in most of the pics), this is MUCH better than it was. I always thought lots of articulation could make Skylynx look way better. Love the opening lynx mouth and articulated wings.

I love the articulation, but I'm not a fan of what you did to the alt mode. It used to be really clean...

MP Skylynx would look like this. Great work!

Awesome work. Love the added articulation.

Very neat. I bought a junker Skylynx to do the same thing, only with different bird-legs (from a TF Movie figure).

Can you let everyone (including me!) know what you used to create the ball-jointed areas of the tail and neck? That's what stalled out my own - I couldn't figure how to make fodder still slide/collapse back into the shuttle, and still have balljoints.

Oh my lord this is beautiful. I recently bought a reissue Sky Lynx to do the same. Are you able to tell us how you articulated the Sky Lynx neck? That's pretty much all I wanna do.

Again, beautiful. Who needs a modern classics version when the original toy was so awesome and can be articulated so wonderfully.
