    It's nice to be able to do a 2-day project turnaround for a change. Guys, allow me to present posable hands for your Masterpiece Seekers.

    [​IMG]

    In a deviation from what I normally do, I designed these hands to work better for Frosted Ultra Detail, since a powdery rough surface from Strong Flexible might not work too well with the MP Seeker mold. Nevertheless, I'll be testing both materials anyway to be sure.

    The thumbs and wrists are on ball joints, and the fingers are all on pivot joints.

    I don't have an MP-11 (are they even released yet?) but from what I can tell from the photos, the hands *should* be able to work for that mold as well.

    If my Skywarp's wing hadn't broken off (He was fine, then I put him on a shelf for three months and his wing snapped at the hinge), I'd definitely buy a pair of these.

    And my curiosity has gotten the best of me, considering the name "Ariel Lemon," are you a girl or is that a nickname?

    forgive my ignorance, if you've already mentioned this. What are you planning as a Dread's upgrade set?

    Oh good, so basically, the set has enough to customize 2 separate figures?

    Then I definitely need to track down a 2nd Crankcase to make Crowbar a reality!

    Also, in addition to the Crankcase portion, is there a possibility to work in new "pincers" that are a bit more stationary than what we already have? I'm currently watching DOTM, and it looks like those are more or less a part of Crankcase's shoulders, and not just protruding upward from his back.

    Not sure if you are seriously asking, but I asked this once before and I'm afraid FB said he won't be able to do Hatchet basically because of the difference in anatomy compared to Crowbar and Crankcase.

    But who knows? Perhaps he will find a way, or Hasbro will release a DLX Hatchet toy in the Trilogy Movie line.

    S/he could be lying to avoid a certain type of comment from the less dignified internet dwellers.

    Hi guys, Transformers Prime deluxe Starscream's cannon is done! (kinda)
    It was quite a tough project just trying to work out how he's gonna arm a cannon when the 5mm peg hole was very much useless.

    Now TFP Starscream has a proper arsenal!
    2x triple missiles
    2x single missiles
    1 (or 2?) hand cannon
    2x knee spikes
    1 head crest

    Thanks. Unfortunately, FB doesn't have a Striker Optimus (yet), it's kinda hard for him to make adjustments. The inside peg hole is based on the Buster Prime hands as FB previously stated. Once he gets a Striker, I'm sure he'll be able to make some adjustments to accommodate the blasters. For now, you can just put the blasters on Prime's forearm mechtech slots. :thumbs2: 


    FB is gender neutral.. :lol 



    One day FB will be designing "toys" (loosely) for Hasbro... Watch out.. :lol

    Hey, here's a suggestion..

    What about Space Bridge Pillars? You're doing some AMAZING stuff in this thread, so I thought I might throw it out there as a suggestion.
