Just want to give you guys a heads up.

Shapeways will be implementing a new set of prices from Oct 1st onwards. Overall, material costs will be cheaper, but now delivery and handling fees are included. There is no more $25 limit.

How this will affect my prices and how I'll set up my designs, I don't know. From what I understand, bulk, large volume orders will be cheaper in the end, while small individual pieces will take a hit.

My intention is to deliver my designs in the lowest prices possible, even after this pricing change. Just be prepared for a period of messy pricing until I get everything sorted out.

its not the arms themselves
its that he has almost NO shoulder articulation
making him so difficult to pose
my idea was making him more articulated and proportionated
while still able to transform

fakebuster
a new idea if you are going to make the dotm voyager ironhide arms, there's a way to make them bulkier
but it would require that one arm folds inside the vehicle while the other hangs underneath it, like movie one ironhide
its just an idea
if not, just say it
i will be ok with that

Yup, I got your point when you posted the pictures. There's shoulder joint mod that will fix that. You need to pull the pin out from the shoulder, and then turn the shoulder joint around before re-attaching it. I was pointing at how to bulk up the arm. If FB decides to make one, it can just be a clip-on thingy for the arm.

It's here: /toy/ - Toys

But that's the archived version... I'm trying to find the ones with the pictures.

but reversing the shoulder joints wont "fix" it, because the wheels are still in the way
and it still his upper arms look too skinny
thats why i wanted new forearms
because of his transformation, replacing the upper arms would "ruin" the transformation
while making his actuall forearms the new upper arms
and having new forearms would fix that
i explained it before
"since there's space in the cab, once "moded" its just matter of fitting the arms in the vehicle, without removing anything, may be a little difficult, but possible"
what i want its a mix between proportion, FULL articulation, and accuracy

Fakebuster
what about some blades for the jetwing/ striker optimus prime movie
more accurated
detailed
why? because from what i can see, its the most accurated optimus to date
but doesnt have the swords, just the guns
just a pair of swords that fits in his hands(both originals and your's)
that would be awesom
and a mouthplate, for the buster/battle hooks prime
¬¬ if you dont like my ideas just tell me, because im starting to feel unconfortable because i am bothering you with them

FB, are you thinking of making hands for MP-10? I saw several reviews and the hands don't have a lot of articulation in them.

Hey guys,

Presently I'm going to take a breather from Shapeways stuff abit, cuz I want to devote more time to finishing a non-shapeways job. Once I'm done with that I will be again free to make more stuff for Shapeways! An MP-10 set of hands could be possible. I just need to get a reference sample first.

Coolness. Thanks for the update.


EDIT: Oh F me!... I didn't even notice that you already have Leader Ironhide's hands up... bought!

I want to place an order now for some hands but I would really like to wait for the knuckle hands aswell, when will these be for sale?
