seeing Unicron9s post on whirl got me wanting to show off what Iv been working on. his definitely looks like its going to be SPOT on and i can't wait to see it done. but I'm going for more of an upgrade kit for shape ways release. so not 100% accurate, but a decent representation of the character. Back to the modeling. Been working on an upgrade kit for HFTD Tomahawk mold to make him into the idw Whirl we all know and love. Here are the Shapeways Links (Recommended material: White Strong and Flexible. not polished) Full Whirl Upgrade Kit Full Whirl Upgrade Kit Sprue Whirl head in Frosted Ultra Detail There are now two options. One Sprued and one not (except for smaller parts) Sprued would be best for those who want to order it in regular WSF plastic while the non sprued would be best for Polished that way all parts gets polished evenly on all sides BEFORE YOU BUY! READ HERE! Nonnef and I will be working on a collaboration similar to how he is with Ariel Lemon/Fakebusker. We are working on a few projects and this is one of them. We plan to make a mold of the original figure (tomahawk) to sell with this set already attached and in close to accurate color plastic. So you can buy the shape ways version now, or wait till a full figure is released. We have not yet started on getting things set up to make a full figure so it won't be for a long time from now. Just a heads up set will include: -lower legs -feet -both arms (bicep, forearm,claws) -attachment to claws to hold a 5mm weapon -head with a neck -wing type parts on his back -lower cockpit cannons -one Great Sword check it out. Update 6/9 DONE!

I want this. Thread subscribed. I just hope I can use it without the fists, as I've already cut those off the mold!
it definitely will be. once i get it all tested from shape ways it will be available to sale separately. and if balljoint sizes don't match, i can definitely make another option for you with the right size
This is amazing!!! Can't wait for this! One question, aren't his wings attached on the back of his shoulders?
It definitely will transform The wings attach to the ball joints on his body facing backward. So not on his shoulders but close enough. It does, it won't be the most solid looking but I'm trying my best to make it look good
Good enough for me! I'm definitely going to get this, or maybe commission it, since I've never made customs before.
as soon as this is ready I am in for most of it. unfortunately i already hacked off the legs and modified them
Looks fantastic, it looks like with your leg and neck extensions, it increases the size to more of a voyager size? if not how much more height do you have a comparison shot next to a unmodified tomahawk
