    You want the measurement in millimeters, centimeters or inches. I think I have one, got to look around.

    Thanks man! This really helps; I need to make sure my plan is feasible before I track down a second hand Windcharger!
    Millimeters is best as it makes for the most precise measurement, but anything will do!

    OK, still haven't found it, but I've been inundated with snow the last 2 days. I hope to find it tonight.

    Super cool! Both modes look great, paint apps are done well, and I think the choice of head/face really make the whole thing come together. Nicely done.

    1) 2 and 5/8th from top of hip sculpt to bottom of flat foot from a straight leg position.

    2) This mold was a very hard find and is actually my Windcharger in my personal collection. I ended up spending premium for the Takara 2 pack originally, unfortunately I used both of them. But I found this, great price IMHO:

    ...back to the content at hand...you just made me feel lame as I used this mold for my Menasor bash long ago and was perfectly happy with adding a combiner port, running a yellow stripe and calling it a day. You just turned this into the real deal, great work!

    Damn, beat me to the punch. Found my extra one, if you need him he's yours. We can work out the details if the measurements work for you. BTW, it is between 37 and 38 mm from hip to knee in alt mode.

    ;)  Thanks for catching the 2nd part of the question with ALT mode length.

    BTW that is 2 and 5/8 inches!

    Thanks guys! Thanks for the kind words, and for the much needed info.
    His bot mode legs currently measure 2 3/8 inches, so if i can re-make them with the original transformation, even if it doesn't quite look the way I was hoping, it'll still add a much needed 2/8 inches to his height. I just find him too squat as he is now :(  and I can be a bit of an anally retentive crazy perfectionist sometimes...!

    LOL, I was wondering about that, as I personally thought the custom was amazing, especially considering the amount of work you put into the project.

    DUDE!!

    This is hardcore. You're really ramping up your custom game! The results on this Dead End are fantastic. I really love the aesthetic of the bot mode. Feels like a whole new figure. :thumb
