    :bowdown:  Thank You! :) 

    I know its not out til next year but i'd rather the null ray be ready before Scream is then i can have it painted by the time i get Scream. I know FB is a WFC fan so i thought this would interest him too and he said he wanted to do more WFC back along.

    Can't wait to see what design you come up with!!

    I'm honestly not sure that would work out too well. You might be better off taking some spare spacers and modifying them yourself; both minicon ports and spacers have some odd architecture, might actually be too thin for the printers, might need separate versions for MMS 1st and MMS 3rd (not sure, none of mine are on 3rd bodies), and honestly I just don't see that much use for them. Besides, you'd be best off asking someone who actually owns a shinki and can take measurements, I'm sure Fakebusker would have difficulties going solely off of pictures and numbers we throw at him, especially for a piece that needs to be so thin and precise.

    But! I can think of plenty of other things for shinkis that you could do with shapeways, though there's only one I think Fakebusker could help with. The MP Seeker hands with the alternate 5mm post mount would be perfect for armor hands, just sand down the peg, I think shinki pegs are 3mm right?

    Fakebusker, is there any chance of you releasing some more of your hand designs with 5mm pegs instead of specialized mounts? I'm particularly interested in Evil Sentinel and Ironhide, though I don't think I can place an order myself anytime soon, this household is struggling to stay fed at the moment. Why do I have such expensive hobbies... :cry 

    EDIT: Also wanna say my Thuggers (ver. 3.0) have been holding up quite nicely for a while now! Robust little guys, they are.

    EDIT 2: Something else I just thought, regarding shinkis. They can easily hold cyberverse weapons. Imagine replacing Strarf Bis' hammer with Seismus. >:3

    Hey Ariel, I was wondering if your movie accurate optimus hands were in the same scale as dual model kits? I assembled mine and modded the hand only thing I'm worried about is the left hand thumb is eventually gonna come off I wanted to know if I can just buy a set of your hands and pop the digits off, maybe make a set of fingers for people with DMK01?

    I don't think FB has a DMK01. It would be hard to do without any measurements available.

    [​IMG]
    I have the toy accurate version was wondering if they're the same size as the movie accurate version, i don't know maybe someone that hasn't flared the plastic on dmk01 can post pictures maybe he could ask them to measure and he can recreate them? I can't think I'm the only one who would like to see them?

    Now FB I don't like making requests, this being your Hiatus, But I have a request you probably haven't hear yet... could you, Make an mount for PRidE Voyager Megatron's Arm blade? Let me explain: I "like" the clear purple of his blades (the fold up function less so) So I have removed them from My Meg's cannon, but I would like him to still have them (blade transformation optional), Is it at all possible for you to make something that would peg into his "Wrist" hole that I can attach these pieces to that would give his his blade AND cannon BUT separate? (Think his OTHER arm attachment but his sword)

    Thanx Tank, I did see that.. I'm "ok" with Meg's cannon as it is for the moment, I was just looking for something to with the bits leftover. Outta curiosity does your cannon have a place to peg his hand weapon, for alt mode, or are you just getting rid of it?

    Ahh...You've grasped my idea :3
    The only thing lacking on that good figure now is just the head that's why I did it. (And I prefer that mold as Cliff than Bee) 'Headless WFC Cliffjumpers' ... that phrase made me lol out loud. The red guy can't seem to catch a break lately.

    The grenade is specifically designed with a custom sized clip for TFP Wheeljack, so I'm not sure how a 6-pack would work. But a 6 pack of clipless grenades can be considered lol...

    Thanks Prof!

    RSF doesn't fit Cliff's red. It's better if you use your own paints to mix and match the red.
    WFC Snitch is almost ready! Watch out for an update end of today :3

    Presently I will not be doing Meg's cannon guys, as I want to concentrate on other projects first.

    Also, @Primus_feather I'm reluctant to take requests for adaptor pieces now, but I think there are some artists on the boards who are more than capable of doing a concept like that. thedreaded1 springs to mind...

    Awww stop it... :) 
    Great progress on the HA Prime sir...I'd like to see how well those hands turn out.

    This is true, I am not acquainted with Shinkis and I never even seen them in person before. It will be better to get an artist who is more familiar with them.

    As for the 5mm peg mounts for the hands, I can release a add-on set you can order separately with just the wrist peg and ball, since most of my hands use 5mm ball joints on the wrists. Stay tuned.

    Here is my take: I'd leave the clip on it but make it 3mm rung friendly.
    Think of it as being the "spoon" on the grenade. Or maybe just a perpendicular
    3mm clip on the grenade instead of the long paralell clip it comes with for P:RID
    Wheeljack. With the ability to clip on to 3mm points many current figures could
    carry and use them.

    De nada.

    Suggestion, a replacement head for TFP Wheeljack, or at least a replacement neck joint and compatible lightpiping segment, the stock neck joint being translucent worries some of future breakages.

    Sweet, can't wait to order one (it's the thing I've been most looking forward to). It'll be perfect for use with my thuggers and purrdator (which are supposed to arrive when I get home).[/over-excitement]

    Keep up the good work.
