It is a bit of an honor I'd say. Well as much of an honor as being mugged for the first time after moving to Manhattan...

Oh also Fakebusker, you apparently don't have a link for the Prime Starscream upgrade set in your first post.

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery......anyone else seeing that here, I don't.

Well at least the upgrade set can still be found in his store.

How about "gloves" that would give RID Cliffjumper guns like the First Edition version?

FE Prime swords, smokestacks, axe? CJ guns, WFC weapons. Got it.
My my what a full list! I'll be busy for the next decade!

Do you see a new fusion cannon a posibility??

Also: I could send Revealer Wheeljack as well to get a gun made for him?

Thanks for the offer, guys, but I'm not in the USA now. Shipping will be tough. You all are very generous, thanks again!

I do know of a few guys who will be doing the fusion cannon. Scout's honour, I'll let them tackle that project.

The head and hose are very impressive! although I need some body to put the head on and get painted to match.

Should I get the hands primed and painted before assembly or installation?

And, can I have assembly instructions?

You mean, assembly instructions for the hands? Oops I didn't prepare any...I figured the hands will be simple enough to piece together. There is a bunch of reference pictures of the hands online which you can reference from, though. If you still have problems let me know and I'll cook up the graphics for you.

I find that priming is not necessary, but you might want to paint the internals of the balljoints before putting them together.

I dyed them myself again and I seem to be getting different results with the Rit dyes between the liquid and powder. The powder black seems to be giving me a much better black. The liquid so far has only garnered me a blueish purple. I'll post pics when I get them painted though it may be a minute.

Thanks for letting me know! I would think the liquid dyes are pre-mixed and not as concentrated as you would get with the powder. It's the same issue with Shapeways dyes.

Fortunately I actually like the way it looks!

Ooh...Sorry to hear about your accident...So I guess your prime will not transform anymore?

You know, I'm still looking forward to do a Soundwave carbine, since I've got the sketches done and everything.
Like Axel said, it is a cool design and it can be easily transferred to other figures.

Let me think about the laserbeak...

Well, well...

Thanks for all your support guys. You guys are all very kind.
It's true it's kind of flattering to be ripped off as I know my work is worth imitating. No, I haven't been mugged in Manhattan (yet) but I did get cop trouble in the big apple. It's the same, isn't it?

I'm not worried about folks on this site as I know most of you are aware of my work and recognise it anywhere. I'm just concerned about those who are still in the dark and do not frequent this site. Now I'm not sure how do we go about 'spreading the word' but I believe in the power of the internet. As long as there is a message board, a comment feature, a twitter/facebook page on any of their online shopfronts, they've lost.

Most of my designs are 3D printed and impossible to replicate, so good luck to them if they try.

Now there has been talk about me claiming my royalties. It's a nice thought, but in our field we have no such 'protection', so to speak. It's a dog eat dog world here and what I have is the camaraderie and the trust of friends. Guys, you all rock!

I'll update my first post asap.

Any progress on the HA BB hands?

Oooh...sorry about the delay sir. I finally got around to putting it up!

[Big Hache]

Looks great! How do you like the HA BB? I picked up Battle Blade BB which I enjoyed and couldn't bring myself to spend the dollars on the HA.

[Ryoku]

But... what about the birdy?

Seriously, I need that to drop soon. I keep adding things to my Shapeways cart and won't check out until I get him too. I need to stop spending money.
