That's comin along great optrinix! I can't wait to see thia finished, keep up the awesome work man!

 

lookin good so far.

and thnx for resizing those pics

 

SHHHHH  

 

sweet! when this is done, im sure im going to shit my pants and dream of this one..! wow!

 

Very show accurate! The pop is much larger than the normal prime (look at ther game, there, the pop is nearly twice as tall as normal prime!)

 

about the gun

maybe you can get it to clip onto the center of his back somewhere between the turbines?

 

I was kind of thinkin about the same thing, I was "secretly" staying tune with this PUP prime since I also had an Idea of making a non-transformable jetfire-backpack suit. I still havent done it coz I just started making my ROTF prime a premium ROTF prime (removing the plastic grey) will be posting pics soon.

Based on the pictures I saw I think you need to add ALOT of back keeble as you call it, maybe you could put the "neck" parts of an SR-71 parts there and the cockpit parts on the shoulder, coz your prime's back is kinda bare, but anyway it's too early to tell

gonna start on my PUP prime soon, maybe after my prelims and when I find an anakin podracer kit too (an SR-71kit here cost about 10USD and the podracer is 40USD, I still have to canvass to find a cheap one), I was really thinking of the same thing, though I wonder why did'nt you use the whole turbine? It would improve the appearance and not make your turbine have an open end. The part pointing upward is the rear end right? anyway we all have different ideas, My downside is that I dont know what to use to hold the turbines (was thinking of lego), what to use as leg extensions (lego?) and I desperately need to know what you use to cut plastic, the thick ones, Like what others do to their TFTM primes so their ROTF primes have articulated fingers. thanks for the help. gudluck with your PUP

 

Cant wait to see it finished

 

The gun looks awesome!

Hmm.. I see pieces of ROTF LC Megs, TFTM/ROTF VC Prime, VC Demolishor.. what other new figures did you murder? Hahaha

 

that is awesome!

 

needs bulking up abit more but its still a wip looks awsome

 

this is looking so awesome!!!!!

i want it xD

 

Yeah I'm waiting on the Blackbird to start adding to the back, cause I need to make those giant "wings" he has on the side of the thrusters, and the wings that hang down below.
Trust me I've still got alooot to go.

 

Looking a bit better with each new piece.
My voyager version is almost done...but I cant find the podracer model I wanted.
Off to ebay I suppose.
Just a little tip. The 1/72 model SR-71 looks like a perfect fit on my voyager class OP.
The 1/48 Might be a better choice on the leader class.
Just my .02

 

Hmm FR suggested a 1/72 and you suggest the 1/48
Damn, the major deciding factor between the two is the nose of the plane acting as shoulderpads, that to me is the most important part about the model, I could make everything else fit, but not that.

 

I already have my eyes on a blackbird kit (if i remember correctly it's 1/32? will check it out soon) , but it shocked me to know that FR suggests a 1/72 scale??? how small is that? I dont think that's gonna match or be in scale with your podracer turbines dont you think? Anyway FR is the MAN in customizing and radicons, just a thought!

 

AWESOME!!! I was wondering when someone would do it this way. Poor Jetfire.

 

I'll try to figure out Pics on this thing tomorrow so you can see the shoulders on mine.
FR is definatley better at customizing than I am.
I know that I could have made the shoulders bigger on mine....so maybe the 1/72 will be better for Leader Class With a larger cut piece....
Really wish I could find a podracer model...GRR

 

jet TRUCK mode anyone lol

 

there are tons on ebay and in the internet, I've seen alot of sites selling it for 5$

though here in the philippines, One store Ive been to sells it for $40 USD, GRRRR!
for a 1999 model kit??? you gotta be kiddin?? still have to canvas or look for a cheaper one
