    http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/545475-g1-masterpiece-swoop-toy-style.html

    http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/323997-masterpiece-swoop-toy-colors-version.html

    Still got a ways to go , I need to make his dino head ,come up with dino legs and need to come up with his bombs/rockets..... I'd really like to get a shapeways sword from Dawgstar because his looks soooo awesome !

    Anyways all C&C welcome

    These guys are running around lately and the mold suits Swoop more than Silverbolt.

    Looking nice!

    Great Start buddy. Thanks for the mention on the Sword I will take a photo of it with the same mold you are using so you can see the scale.
    Great stuff

    Your welcome anytime
    It is in on shapeways at cost price buddy I am casting them for myself but cost wise is not a huge amount less. Give me a shout when you want one and I will see what I can sort out for you.

    It's far from perfect but thanks ,I'm just hoping it blends in well enough not too stick out next to MP Grimlock . Parts used are mainly Universe Sliverbolt and wings from a movie 1 leader class Megatron .

    If you want to see perfect check out Sculptbot's Swoop that I have posted the link too in my original post. Or Dawgstar's is pretty awesome too .

    Small update , I've sanding the filler smooth that is covering the screws on the wings . I've also mounted the articulated alternator hands . I found the pieces I'm gonna use to mount the head too....not that you can see then in the picture .
