    ......or Buster and Hydra depending on whether you grew up with the Japanese series.

    Being that I first saw these d00ds in the comic, issue 42, they will be styled after those versions.

    So far, I've got most of Dreadwinds mechanics figured out. The MP seeker forearms have been stretched to allow the hands to fold within the arm. (Exposed hands suck ass) He's an accurate 1/48 Fighting Falcon model, complete with integrated working landing gears and canopy. He'll also combine with Darkwing to form Dreadwing.


    The Powermaster (Hi Test) will be more styled towards the toy version with a blockier look. He will have a removable helmet that fits over the human head.



    This will be another collab project. Painter to be announced when I hear back from him.

    Haven't built anything all summer as I've been occupied with a complete overhaul of my home.

    Now it's time to get back at er.

    Here's what I did today. Ironed out the feet and did some leg work.

    Awesome update.

    Wait you've been overhauling your home? For your wife's sake, I hope it won't transform. :p
