This is certainly cool, man. I'm hoping to have it fully resourced tonight Thanks for your tutorial submission and all you have contributed thus far Don't sweat things though If you're able to do a tutorial someday, we'll be here for ya You gotta take care of your life first and foremost. "We are here. We are waiting."
very nice tutorial. Thanks for sharing big time!!! I'll get right on building an army of these (or maybe just one )
After reading the tutorial I now understand how the pivot of the wings works. My only concern is that it seems the only thing holding the wings in place in bot mode (ie preventing them from continuing to rotate and causing the upright wings to go forward) is the friction on the pin? Is that the case, or is there a squared edge on the pivoting plastic piece that butts up against an edge at the point of rotation that limits it to 90 degree of movement? It seems like you could do that, but since you had the thing apart I figured you would know. Also, to make your arms you cannibalized a lot of the parts from the other energon jet right (i know at least the forearms, looks like more.) The only concern I see is the head. Its great to have G1 powerglide head and it fits the mold well, but do you need to take it off in jet mode? or is there some trick so that it tucks away a bit. nevermind, I see that because you were able to remove the Energon combiner port, it seemed to give you a place to tuck the head away. Brilliant job. I have painted this mold myself and I know the trouble spots you must have gone through. If I choose to do this hopefully my second attempt has less problem spots than the first try.
Dude that is the best powerglide I have ever seen! How did you get the wings and arms to go like that, you must post a tutorial for it as I am now going to do this! Oh I didn't realise you had lol sorry.
