Okay,that's not the smartest move,since hasbro recently forbid producing scratchbuilts to sell them. (although selling one which uses a base figure by hasbro,like a repaint is still legal,fecking hasbro lunatics)

I want to see the lawsuit that states" man sued for making a superior product by douchebags that want all the money in the universe"

please if anyone ever got sued it was probably because they used old molds or had a machine to manufacture parts. if that would be like budweiser going after every moonshining hillbilly. waste of time. but i suppose the threat would keep some wus' from doin git

Sonray,have you been paying attention to the news posts? hasbro recently announced the customizing rules.

Hasbro Provides Customizing Guidelines to Collectors

Dear Fans and Customizers, The G.I. JOE team would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the customizing community and the incredible creativity and passion that goes into each one of your projects. We are continually impressed by your work.

The customizing community ranges from those who work with product to those who customize packages and artwork. There has recently been some confusion as to what constitutes the legal resale of customized product and what constitutes trademark infringement. The following guidelines for using Hasbro trademarks should provide some clarity.

1. Hasbro encourages the customizing of individual figures for personal usage, and can be resold as one-of-a-kind, out-of-package figures.
2. All Hasbro artwork, such as card art, cannot be reprinted without permission from Hasbro. These assets contain Hasbro-owned trademarks and logos, and cannot be sold or reproduced without Hasbro’s permission
3. Hasbro owned trademarks such as character names and the GI Joe brand name cannot be used without written permission from Hasbro.

As we look to the future of the G.I. JOE franchise, we want to ensure that the customizing community can thrive while Hasbro continues to protect the brand that it has spent the last 45 years creating. Hasbro will become more aggressive in the legal pursuit of counterfeit product that is being sold in all channels. We appreciate your cooperation with this matter.

Thank you.

well, these are scratchbuilt and there won't be many of them, plus it's not like he's doing it for profit.

He is making them for profit though.

i,m making them for myself first... and if people want some well that,s where the profit comes in... but i never build them in the intention of mass-producing them reason is very simple .. the more production runs i have to make the less the new stuff comes out !! but i always try to manage my time so i can do both at the same time... that and have time for my kids,wife,work,social life .. and oh yeah SLEEP lol... balance is everything

The "Sky" is looking awesome so far, but how fares the "Linx?"

progress update !!!

both wings are done and now the only thing left to do is install them into the new flap system...

I am in awe

Wow, that is perfect. The wings look like they would not even slide back into themselves, a true testament to a great design and precise engineering. Dayum Anemis!

Please man, say you got a tutorial somewhere as to how you get that detail in there!

All i get a square boxes tried to pretty them up with more square boxes. Nothing round or so.


Help us....

And it looks amazing. but thats stating the obvious .

Something I've been meaning to ask (for no reason other than curiosity); what's the grey blotchyness on his head from?

ZOMG, awesome!!



Modelling putty/clay I'd assume. Yeah?

well after 2 weeks i finally manage to have an update... reason is that part of the design was causing me huge problems... and had repercusions on everything.... and now i,m proud t show part of the "surprise element" !!! the bay opens and there will be a robotic arm as the real shuttle has.... it,s not complete yet... detailling and more designs coming....this is what has been plaguing me for the past 2 weeks... almost let that part down BUT it was too important for me not to let it go.... enjoy !!!
