    Just freshly painted (paint not even dry yet). I am just too impatient to show my own DIY of Strafe!

    I have been planning this guy for a while, torn between two design options. But when I saw Hasbro's version, it became very obvious what I should do. So here he is!

    You see this is the complete "opposite" of the Hasbro implementation :)

    He is a good looking dude.

    Kickass, my friend! Love how the white helps hide the arms. Are you gonna do any panel lining on the beauty?

    I had to look up what the CW Hasbro version even looked like, but wow you made him look way better. More like how the Warriors Unite version looks. I'll definitely be getting the WU version.

    Looks great Steamshield! Curious though, do you have a link to his alt mode "cockpit" or the adapter for Skydive's wings? I couldn't find either on your shapeways store. Was considering purchasing the set in a few weeks.

    Hi there, I can list the adapter for Skydive's wing, but the cockpit is scratch built using part of the original nose section and part of Chromia's transparent cockpit cover. Mainly I don't know how many people will actually do this and also this part is going to be quite large and hence costly.

    Not yet, when scrounge is out I'd be interested to see how it attaches to the strafe body.

    well, why don't you do two separate listings....one for the hinge/nosecone replacement (for those that can't cut pieces off that good) and one for the actual cover (compatible with both the chopped up nosecone, and the first piece)...

    i'd like a few kits to make my own super sweep army!
