    Been trying to find the way to mod Swoops mace for the flame gimmick, but for the life of me cant find it anywhere. I know this topic is old but if anyone has a link to the thread it was in or anything would be helpful. :D

    Very easy to do with a dremel.

    Wait! Before you settle on smaller flames, consider my tutorial. It has much bigger flames, but it is more difficult.

    MattBooker.info Blog Archive S.O.S. Dinobot! Part 1

    Here's a quick shot to show you just how much more the flames pop out.

    As you can see, not only are they bigger but the curve of the flame follows the curve of the morning star. You get the whole of the flame instead of just the tip, and there is not sacrifice for stability. This keeps the mace nice and sturdy.

    Again, more difficult, but oh so worth it. :D 

    The guide is good for a laugh, too.

    Hi Matt, is this guide still available somewhere? The link above (and on TFWiki) now goes to Amazon.

    I still have a copy somewhere, so I'll use that to make a version for Radicons. It might be a few days, but I'll post here when it's up! :)
