    Coolness... Better looking than the ones already on shapeways. Would be nice to see an Axe version that can go against the Corbot War/Carnage Axe.

    Awesome looking mace! I was hoping to make a similar one for WfC Megatron. Is there a chance that you could make some fists for Megs to fit with the mace?

    isn't better that the maze handle splits to fit in every 5mm compatible hand and then reattaches? i mean like the handle of the perfect effect ratbat trident or the fansproject black rodimus scythe?
    instead of making new hands or being exclusive for only a few robots?

    Congratulations on your upcoming marriage! I wish you eternal bliss dude!

    Not a fan of those aerosol powered airbrushes...You need to buy refills if anything runs out and I'm not a fan of that. I rather invest in a good air compressor and a gravity feed airbrush.
    Your SS is sweet looking man. Did you do anything to the jet boosters? They look like they are painted, which looks awesome btw. Good luck on the SS hands :thumb 

    I have my sample of the deluxe SS weapons. Looks okay and I wanna make some changes. They don't really look right mounted on the back though, cuz they sit too far apart and too high to be accurate. I'm still thinking of solutions to fix that.

    Presently I'm still mulling on how to make those tiny joints reliable. So sorry for the delay folks. But the good thing is I've been learning from my experience in making those leader hands, some tricks which I plan to use on Rodimus.

    Lol put $60 in an envelope and post it to me...That's how much the MP is isn't it?

    Maybe...? Is there any comic or animation references I can look to?

    Yes Yes Yes guys...it's Meg's flanged mace! (thanks Gryph :)  )
    Actually I think the High Moon guys did design the axe with reference to the Con symbol. The similarities are too many to be coincidental. Anyway I referenced the appearance based on screenshots of the intro trailer.

    Corbot's Axe is amazing, I must humbly say I have no idea how am I going to top that. :eek: 

    That will be an upcoming project...

    Well...I've already planned for that, but thanks for your astute observation!

    Since we are on this topic, the mace can split into 2 sections: The main mace and a smaller auxiliary one for dual-wielding purposes. I might make the bottom end bigger so the aux. mace looks more aggressive.

    @FB: If only I have an MP Rodimus, I would have sent it to you... As for the mace, what's the length (combined and in two)?

    80mm, 50mm separated. About 13mm total length.
    It's pretty substantial.

    Just got my SS hands yesterday. Shapeways, for some reason, sent it using a big box... So, now I'll have to get some paint supplies and hopefully get it done during the weekend. :thumbs2:

    After I ensure the sample works! Would arrive after a week.

    All the best, be careful when installing them!


    Also, Optimus Prime's premium hands are looking just fine!

    The right hand that he had was for Leader Evil Megatron commissioned by Limewire using the Leader Sentinel Prime.

    Hi there. Surprisingly this is the first time I have checked this thread and I am very interested in the deluxe DOTM Starscream attachment. I just was wondering if there is any complex assembly required, or painting for that particular weapon. Thanks :)

    That's true, the evil hand was designed specifically for leader Sentinel Prime. In regards to DOTM voyager Megatron, I do not have any plans to do hands for him yet as there's currently no simple way of replacing those hands. Anyway his hands are too small to add any posability (that I know off).

    If I were to finally do it, most likely I'll replace the whole forearm assembly so that he'll have more satisfactory hands.

    Assembly should be simple but there's always a risk of breakage as the material is quite fragile. All pieces come unpainted so you have to do the colouring yourself. The materials do absorb paint really well though so you don't have to worry much about paint rub.

    SLOW SLOW SLOW SLOW SLOW!!!

    Sorry guys, things have been really quiet in FB land...I've been busy travelling (to NY! No less), meeting up a bunch of guys from Shapeways, preparing my stuff for the long trip home from the US. Also, my real world job has just been so busy.

    Ok, rant and apologies over...

    Indeed I have been busy still with Shapeways stuff. Some projects still in the pipeline, some are still to remain secret, but I know a lot of guys are waiting for this one:

    [​IMG]

    The Optimus Prime's hands of PURE MURDER. I've spent so much time making it accurate and adding details it's not even funny. Granted, most of the detail is not going to be visible on Strong Flexible (maybe FUD might work) but it's just the OCD side of me going crazy.

    They are not done though. I've had many tries creating the fold-out knuckle blades. They should look chunky and menacing, yet small enough to fold back into the fists, and of course, Prime should still be able to transform.

    Currently I'm not too happy with how they look folded out, as there is a gaping hole at the back of the fist. Let me think of a solution over the next few days. I've to add those etchings on the back panels as well.

    So, thanks for stopping by and being so patient with me. And yes, thanks for all of you who supported me and my designs. There are so many hands sold it's incredible, so thank you all!
