Upgrades

OK, I have a 1/60th scale Yamato Roy Fokker VF-1S. It's the one with the STRIKE armor, and the problem is that when I stand him up in Battloid mode and attach the missile pod and laser rifle to his back, the latch on the backpack isn't strong enough to hold up the weight for very long. Is there a way to either reinforce the (admittedly structurally weak) "latch" that holds the backpack to his backside (with the packs unattached, it holds up just fine) or to create some kind of new latch to hold it together while still letting it transform? Mind you I' just in need of a quick fix -- I'm by no means an expert at this and I'm not looking to ruin something I paid $137 for, so…

i found a funny bot... :tflaugh can't believe it can transform to a robot

This is my version of Sixshot. I used the pics of E. Sixshot at TFU info as a guide for paint. I used a Shockblast and a few Xevoz parts too. The color is Fusion Blonde Shimmer. And no that isn't camera flash. The red eye is actually a little red light. First up bot mode pics.

Hi guys, After an initial disappointment with my 2 BT prowls I decided that I was going to set to swapping a few heads around in order to make some of the figures a bit closer to their G1 counterparts. This I managed to achieve without desecrating a single BT, just a spare alt silverstreak, smokescreen and sideswipe. And so, from the photos below you can see the results. The hybrids are: Alt streak body (painted) + BT prowl head = PROWL BT prowl (patrol) body + custom smokescreen head = STREETWISE BT meister (red) body + BT overdrive head = OVERDRIVE BT overdrive body + alt sideswipe head (painted) = BLASTER BT prowl (blue) body + BT meister (red) head = NIGHTB…

well, i bought a headless bt yellow tracks without a head and used swerves head on him... then i took a e-ironhide and used his right arm for e-shockblast and his head for swerve... looked pretty good IMO

Ok, so I got the little Galaxy Convoy and was thinking he needs his little Liger Convoy arm. So I was wondering if anyone out there thinks, with a little work, a semi-workable arm could be made for Galaxy Convoy to use?

hi, can someone tell me the name of the green that most kitbashes use for Scourge colour schemes such as this pic strip below; I am tryina recolor my figure and i would like to make it based on scourge color scheme but i wasn't sure what the name of the green that it uses and what is the brand. Please enlighten. thanks.

is it possible to melt styren in boiling water or another way. and is it possible to mold it into another shape with your hands ( with a glove i'm imagining it would be hot :tfgrin ). if it is not possible then how are you kitbashers like viagra prime able to make weird or odd shapes with styrene PLEASE HELP GUYS :thumb thanks

i mean it. why did we get totally boned by hasbro when it came to takara coming out with bw metals jaguar/ravage. that line of theirs about it being to expensive to import the molds for the figure was a total line of BULL SH!T. AND YET SOMEHOW JUST SOMEHOW the hartman brothers got their hands on the molds for the figure to sell it as tigatron. the one holy grail figure of the besst wars toyline and Hasbro totally screwed us over on it. sorry for the rant guys but i say its time for some real answeres to this question
