    I remember seeing the preview for heli-Drift and instantly knowing I wanted to turn him into Airachnid.
    So...

    I'm pretty happy with it.

    That is awesome! Makes me re-consider the studio series line (or at least this mold). How does she scale with other CHUGs?

    Awesome work! I had a similar idea but I'm trying to find a head closer to the Prime version of the character. That titan master works pretty well, though!

    When I did a custom with the SS Dropkick, which shares some parts with this mold, I unhinged the hips a bit to give it a better silhouette and some more height. It's almost too bad they made the hips on this mold closer together so you can't use the same trick. It does look a lot better out of the box, though.

    Apropos of nothing, though, it is WILD how close in height that deluxe Kup and voyager Skywarp are!

    Nice work! I Would’ve never thought to use this mold. Only problem is the face, doesn’t feel right.

    FYI- If anyone's interested, this thing's for sale. I did it just to see if it would work and really don't want it.
    Hit me up if it's something you want in your collection.

    Is it still a headmaster and if so how? I wanted to make dropcick a whirl since he'd need like zero paint and I can get a whirl faceplate from shapeways.

    I took off the lower Headmaster legs and made custom filler, so killed the gimmick.

    But I could still theoretically get a whirl faceplate and do the same thing right? Don't really care about the gimmick, just want an updated whirl.

    Yeah, there's a lot of room for different head shapes.
