    With the tight angle on the hook, won't it fold in on itself and not leave any space to slice?

    I was looking at your Shapeways store and I cannot tell if a right hand was added to the sprue. Did you have any luck creating a right hand?
    Do I have to click on "order" to find out what shipping would be to the US?

    Sorry man, no right hand. I couldnt get it to look right on the connector piece. Made it look like he had a massive fat wrist and a tiny hand.

    Is there a way you can design it (I have no knowledge on how you create these designs) and send the data in so I had it in MY Shapeways account? I would just need a reversed image of the left hand with the base piece, for connecting to the wrist. I can worry about the big wrist/little hand problem for myself.

    OR, could you design a smaller wrist (see pic)? I cut the wrist part smaller and used a pin, with a head, to attach my Megatron claw. Would a smaller wrist still support your original attachments?

    I don't have to have it but I would like it as an option since Lockdown is all about upgrades and improvements. (He probably started with a hand and then added different items, as he stole them).
    I created my, Shapeways, account in case I needed it to order your set. It's under Mnufactr. LMK

    This what you mean?

    Do you want me to add this to the existing assembley or have this as a seperate part?

    WOW! It would be great, for me, to have it as part of the assembly but would it add cost for people that don't want it? If your not happy with the wrist/hand size, would it reflect poorly, on you, if it was part of the assembly?
    Is this something you do all the time? You did that pretty quick.

    Question: At Shapeways, I get an error when ever I click on the "View in 3D". It shows "error:java.io.IOException:Cannot find certificates for JNLPAppletlauncher class".

    Is this something from my end or from Shapeways? This is how you view the different sides of the objects, correct?

    Thanks

    Sounds like it's from your end. Something to do with how your computer reads the file.

    This isnt a problem, I can make a second assembley that includes the right hand, then people will have a choice. I'll upload it later.

    Just got mine in and the only problem I came across was the tip of the pinky came off. But I think it more of me being a bit heavy handed and it can easily be glued back on no prob.

    Cannot wait to get this painted and finished.

    any word on the other assembly? I was going to purchase a few items but only saw the original set, for Lockdown. I see you have P/CP finished. Did you complete the smaller Roadbuster? I only saw the 1 set and I believe that was for the Captain America mold.

    Sorry dude. I uploaded it but didnt activate it for public view. Doh!

    Roadbuster kits are currently in (MCCA) cap format, (CDRA) red alert format.
    Still need to resize for the deluxe size format.

    Then it'd jut out at a funny angle in car mode. I could put it on a ball joint but I imagine the weight would make it sag.

    I'll have a think about it.
