    i saw a prototype drift from a singapore exclusive convention piece. it's like a cybertronian car in alt mode. i like this paper custom better, it's more G1-ish. nice work!

    Hey Hi Q, once again gratz on prize. I did end up seeing that sixshot, and have to apologize once again for not being able to help you pack up. I definitely wasn't a volunteer at the show.

    Now this is what I would call a true "scratch built" model. Very nice indeed.

    How did this thread get dragged up again?
    Anyway, thanks!
    Sorry, but I'm not releasing the parts. I don't have building instructions, and I'm pretty sure they're needed, and without them the chances of me becoming a building Drift helpdesk are too high.

    While this thread is back again, here's another link to a video which I can't stand viewing myself because of my own voice and accent:
