First thing first, this is for a pretty, awesome, samurai outlook of AOE deluxe Drift in bot mode ONLY.

All my design is NOT make it movie-vise, NOT movie accurate. HOWEVER, if you like to have a samurai way of Drift, like me, this is the right place.

De Metallikato kit [Shapeways]


it simply with 2 katana & parts of pair shoe. Flip up the original feet, plug the calf plate, ankle joints, foot together (the left & right ankle joint piece are different, but you will never place wrong), paint it & done.

 

this fixes a major problem I had with the original figure, the height, this is fantastic

 

Hmmmmm...... I'm currently working on a project and this looks pretty great with it. might have to bit on the Shapeways for the first time.  

 

More pics with paint app, with some assembly instruction.
hope you like this guy more.

Instructions:

1. Assembly as shown above, the feet & joint part are different.
p.s. you can curve out a bit on the side of the feet so that gives you more moving angle.



2. Fold Drift's feet like this. you will find the connection pegs & holes.



3. Plug in & step up.

 

what is stopping me from liking this is the shins. Is there any way you could design the shin to better resemble the already existing leg? Idea=AWESOME, but so far the execution, at least for me, is underwhelming.

 

My set should be showing up today. Can't wait.

These are more like shin guards the way they a fashioned. Like armor.

At lease that is the way I see this set anyway.

 

i get this while i doing this set:


it is no reason for me to make it as same as the figure itself. Repeat this once, i do this to make him more like a samurai that he should be, not movie/ toy accurate.

Thx, dude. At least Drift got someone (maybe just me & you) to love.
