Upgrades

At the request of Tresob on Seibertron I've put together these parts to aid in displaying your minifigures. The idea being that the figure could be solidly pegged into a platform but still be positioned as if walking. Ideally he wanted the part in transparent but I'm sure that builders could come up with all other sorts of uses for this part. The part has two openings so that one way you will have a 30º slope but if you plug it in the other way you get a 60º slope. I have yet to test this part but my measurements are exact to within 0.01mm Enjoy :) Link to Shapeways

Had a whole lotta people ask me to build another one of these so it looks like I'm going back to where I started in this hobby. ^^All the jet looking parts came from a 1/72 scale B1 Lancer. .........which means it's big as hell and the Dr Archeville figures will fit in the ejection seats. ............which brings me to my next point. I've got so many farggin seeker MPs (Cept Thundercracker WTF) that I have enough lil Archevilles to man this bomber with hard-hat wearing union members. ^^Gnarly ol instruments leave the Dr with no way to know how to fly one way or the other. ^^The side vents are getting a set of lasers installed as seen in the o…

Built this one to try and get back into customizing. It's a 1/24 Nissan 280Z re-shelled onto the Alternators Jazz mold. It's intended to scale with the MP-01 size class or the Alternators line. My new camera has this neato feature where it'll turn an image into an outline drawing. Feel free to break out the crayons. ;)

Starscream really needs a voyager class mold and with a little bit of work I bring you the back-stabbing Decepticon this week. Starscream was created from a RotF Mindwipe and head from a Kre-O Starscream. His wings were modded to stay extended and the bent tips removed. I straightened the knees and modded the feet so they don't have the bird-ankles anymore. The arms were spun around and modded so that Null Rays made from TF Prime Kup blasters could be affixed. One classic looking paint job later and Starscream was ready to take to the skies! More pics here---> Starscream

Which Alclad II Chrome Lacquer is better? ALC 107 (1oz. bottle): OR ALC5114 (3oz. aerosol can): In addition, do I need a 1oz. bottle of ALC 304 for the one in the bottle, the one in the aerosol can, or both?

Which one of the chrome paints below is the best that ends up being smooth and/or shiny after it's applied? 1) Alsa Killer Chrome 2) Alsa Mirrachrome 3) Chrome and Matte Bare Metal Foil 4) Tamiya Chrome Sliver 5) Testors Chrome Foil 6) Other (please specify with post on thread)

So only just joined this forum today, and seen some of the awesome work that goes on in the custom section. Have to say I'm impressed and equally daunted by the work. Not sure mine will measure up now. I bought a Transformers Prime Sergeant Kup figure a few days ago, and i will admit i love the figure. its awesome. But ive also seen a lot of people complaining about it, mainly because it is an ironhide repaint. So, i decided to make some alterations to the figure. Now, im new to this, the only type of mods ive ever done are mainly cosmetic (repaints, adding details) nothing structural, so please dont expect much from this thread. its mainly just to show what i can do…

When I think of Hot Spot the first thing that comes to mind is a blue firetruck with a ladder. Sadly GDO Hot Spot was missing said ladder. I decided that with the help of Shapeways I can add that classic G1 Hot Spot look to GDO Hot Spot. The upgrade includes an extendable ladder that measures about 12". There is an add on piece that will turn the existing gun into a handheld gun with a 5mm handle. The last piece is the attachment that is used for both the ladder and gun to attach it to Hot Spots arm. The ladder can store on his back in bot mode using existing holes located on his back. And in alt mode you can have either the ladder or gun on his back. Please comme…

I made this to use as reference for an upcoming project but is it something that folks would like to see put up on shapeways?

"When all is said and done, when the years pass by with no change in seasons... and the only sounds echoing in the once thriving cities are that of machines, you know you've reached the End of the Road. With humanity near extinction the fight between Autobot and Decepticon still rages on across the irradiated wastelands of a dying Earth." The oldest of the Wreckers having seen countless battles Kup continues to fight the Decepticons on the wasteland of earth. Armored and adapted for the toxic desert terrain Kup's ventilation system filters out corrosive gasses and replaces them with the radioactive crystalline gas that allows him to function properly. Kup was created…
