    So i got a 3d printer recently and i've been screaming internally with excitement like a kid in a candy store. My first test at renovating a figure was a slightly undersized KO CW Jet in purple. Naturally, first thing that came to mind was the best animated girl

    Started by making some wings in r- uh a very credible software and then found the joints needed ajusting

    Then i was able to painstakingly find slipstreams' model from earth wars and print a head

    next update will be either wings or limbs! Keep in touch ill be sharing the models for free when done!
    Just incase you werent sure, the wings DO rotate on both axis'!

    Nice. I was thinking of converting those fruity planes into Slipstreams seekers from Cyberverse.
    Will you paint details on the wings or are those just prototype?

    Tis infact a prototype, currently i'm printing some upgrades for some KO Cyberjets and i'll probably merge them into this post, but i plan on replacing most of the parts you see here, considering i have the full earth wars rip. I'm kind of an amateur at modeling so it will take me a while

    Awesome first try! Out of curiosity, how small is this knockoff and where did you find it?

    The knockoff is just barley smaller. The size difference is so small i wouldnt even use numbers. The combiner port still is just big enough to connnect properly to a torso however the lack of rotation is annoying. I'll print an upgrade for it another time.

    The knockoff comes from china and i got it from taobao through my usual dealer. I'd recommend you him but he botched up my last order really badly and i'd rather let you look around. I got 4-6 of these knockoffs set aside for a custom but with the reveal of those newer neon cw kos im considering upgrading them. I'm gonna be 3d printing a bunch of pieces tho so i might as well just upgrade these.

    I actually plan on using slipstream as part of the combiner, only removing the slipstream parts when done and making the newer character.

    Anyway i'm still working on parts/painting pieces so no pics yet but i'll share my two custom cyberjet upgrades soon.

    This custom makes me wish that there was a female deluxe jet figure like her. Nice work.

    Nice work, never liked the super long shoulders on the molds but it could work on this

    Update : I've taken a break from large deluxe sized molds and gone for toys more along the line of the size i grew up on, and since i've gotten my hands on a pile of CYBER JETS i've started printing an abundance of parts to upgrade them, first of the bunch of Electrodrench! Scourge of the storms and jerk who kicks water in people's faces and calls it a battle strategy!
