    This is year I'm finally doing my DJD. First up was Tarn and Nickel.

    I began with Tarn. Made from TR Megatron with Ariel's Customs face, chest, weapons, and Steam Shield's knee spikes. Also some of the Toyhax stickers for details.

    Next is Nickel. I started with Blizzard Strike Slipstream, did a insignia swap, and designed and printed a jetpack for her. The pack does make her back heavy so she needs a stand.

    Here's the group so far. Until I acquire a second Fracture, him and Command Ravage will be repurposed for Vos and Pet.

    Okay, that is a GREAT idea for Nickel. That is just about perfect.

    Are you going with Fracture for Vos? And Battle Ravage for The Pet/Dominus? I've had those exact same thoughts, but I ended up switching out the Ravage. I kept Fracture, though. Just need to actually get working on things.

    Thanks!

    Yeah, I'm repurposing Command Ravage for The Pet and Fracture for Vos until I get another Fracture to try and slim him up more. I still like the character from RiD 2015 so I don't want to destroy my only one.

    If you do get a second one and anything goes wrong with it, think of me. I bought mine off of eBay and, somehow, he doesn't have any hands. It's true I could turn him into Hook-Hands Vos, but I don't necessarily wanna.

    Tarn looks awesome. Looking forward to the whole team. Great ideas for the base figures.

    I made it myself. I'll look to see if I still have it to upload to Thingiverse.
