    Heck, you have been busy, mate! Love how Skyfall's head turned out, and the LED feature works like a treat. Can't wait to see the results of your casting, either - might have to commission you to get some pieces molded... ;)

    For those anxiously waiting to be able to get this kit, just keep an eye out on this thread. I will make them available directly to TFW2005 and Cybertron.ca members. This set will be my second project I will cast and make available, if the first project goes well. :) 

    Thanks dude! I've been playing with Skyfall all day, the LED is fun to watch... or I just don't have a life, haha. I hope casting goes well. Its the last hurdle to get these stuff out to fans.

    Alright, some better photos of the head, along with the guns. Going to be painting them today. So I'll have the painted photos by the weekend. Let me know what you guys think of the design though. :) 

    Skyfall will be the second project I'm going to cast and release. If the G1 energon axe for prime goes well, I'll be starting on casting Skyfall at the end of the month, and hopefully have enough available for sell at the beginning of March. Keep an eye out in this thread for further details. If you posted any feedback/comments in this thread, you'll have first shot at getting a set. :)

    I'm going to buy a set for sure.

    Any luck smoothing out the Shapway's 3d prints? I hears sometimes they can come back with a rough texture?

    I've been using the WSF material. It is really grainy. I was able to smooth out the parts, but some areas are really hard to smooth, like gaps and stuff. I'm going to try out another material on my next batch of renders, the White Detail material. Hopefully it has a better finish.

    That looks absolutely fantastic. I wasn't too keen on it at first, but seeing an almost finished sample has completely changed my mind. Great work! I'd buy a set.

    I think you'll be pretty surprised at the difference, Venks. The White Detail is a heck of a lot smoother than WSF, which is why I'll be doing all my prints in that material from now on (even though it's a little bit more expensive). The only thing I'm not sure is whether it's a viable material for casting from or not.

    Love those rifles, though. :rock

    Wow. I have your Blaster thread on subscription and don't know how I missed this one. Like others, I passed on Skyfall, but am now re-thinking. Great work!
