    Glued in place I'm affraid but it's quite easy to locate the correct spot. I used the tinyest amount of glue and they've held on really well. Last night I took them off, they left a little residue but it cleaned off really easy.
    The new set is now in place. Just waiting for the paint to dry.

    I havnt tried fitting the FP Armour on, but I doubt it's possible now.

    Yep, it's a "Paint it Yourself" situation.

    The best materail I've found is either black/white detail or transparent.

    I've ordered about $400 worth of stuff from them now and only had one issue which they rectified at their cost.

    What are the differences between the materials? It seems there are many kinds in some kits.

    BRILLIANT!

    It really improves the look of both modes. Nice, creative approach!

    I've just re uploaded the model of the Ion blaster to shapeways. No idea where the original went.

    It requires no mods, it just fits snuggly between his knee flaps.

    Just purchased 3 things from your store. Jazz gun, Prime Stacks and the P/CP parts.

    Any updated pics of the stacks in their fresh paint yet? Also what red do you use to match Prime? I have the US release Prime and I want to be able to match the red as close as possible.

    Lastly, does the white/black detail material come out smoother than what we see in your first post?

    really really well done. i can't help but feel that i've seen the shoulder mold before. not the smokestack design in itself, but just the piece. is it molded off another toy or did you do it from scratch?

    Thanks.

    I've ordered these a couple of times now, all in transparent material and the quality has been different every time. They still all needed sanding and preping with a good under coat, but the last set I got came out the best.
    Sorry I havnt got round to taking new pics yet.

    Thanks, it's all from scratch, I was just trying to make the design work with the original figure.

    I'll try and get some pics done in the week.

    Just ordered the Prime kit and Roadbuster head. Is the Roadbuster head scaled for the deluxe Universe version? Or the Marvel Crossovers conversion?

    It's scaled for the marvel crossovers version, but can also be used on Cybertron Defence Red Alert.

    Yay! So stoked! I was roughing out a custom head myself for the Crossovers conversion, but you have saved me much time and effort. Thanks! Can't wait for them to arrive!
