    Sent to earth by Shockwave to hunt the traitorious Starscream,Thrust is a loudmouth braggart who loves to strike fear in his enemies by making as much noise as possible.Roaring into battle with his engines screaming Thrust could never be acused of being subtle,an annoying habit that annoys his fellow seekers and drives Dirge even futher into depression.

    Thrusts wings were made from the wings of a 1:72 mig Foxhound kit with a hole drilled through for the fans to sit in
    [​IMG]
    The fans were taken from a power ranger hyperdrive figure

    I also resculpted the head,moved the tail fins to the side,Angled the tips of the missiles & shortened them.

    I am at a loss for words, maybe once I see Alt mode.
    I'll be able to form the right words into a sentence.

    Dang Spurt!!....this is tight!! :rock 

    I like him a lot :D  I actually have those PR pieces at work too....I saved them cause I thought they looked like they could prove to be useful.

    And you surely proved that to me :thumb

    Cheers guys:thumbs2: 
    I forgot to mention i also did the same hand mod that i used on Acid storm.
    Affraid not the wings have to be removed for Transformation,i did try to make rotateable but they just didnt sit quite right.
    Sorry i only varnished him yesterday & i want to give him a few days to cure,especialy as this mold tends to rub badly.
    It was spotting those parts that made me think about doing Thrust,first time i have ever looked twice at a PR.
    I only have his arms left to paint so hopefully he will be up by the middle of next week.
