[1AZRAEL1]

Im with liege on this. I can't do a good paint job on this if i had to do it. Still,i May get it and have someone who can paint well do it for me.

Legs/feet are too big. Same with the hands. Chest piece is great though but couldn't be stuffed painting it.

To me this looks awesome and totally remakes the Hasbro abomination into something pretty cool. I was actually making my own upgrade kit and made some headway into it but this is a lot better.

I wish they would release it as a proper 3rd party all factory painted and all.

Edit: Where are the links to the Shapeway parts for ordering, I don't see them anywhere.

Group buy.

The components are pretty big and simple, you could paint them easy enough with sprays or a cheap airbrush so long as you can match the colours.

I think I will pass though, while it is a significant improvement it, the added parts can't disguise the fact the core toy is terrible.

I've been following this for a while now. Parts aren't up for order yet as he is still tweaking some bits. He has a shapeways page/store with a G1 predaking and Hercules upgrade kits. It's hard to tell what material he has used from the video but looking at the pictures it is either white polished or white strong and flexible. There is one or two radicons doing commissions for painted kits but I'm not sure how much they will be charging.

Thanks! Looks like we have some waiting to do but I fear the cost prohibitive pricing.

Been following this thread on TFW for a little while, too, and the difference is like night and day. Someone mentioned in the TFW thread that Echotransformer was talking to some third party manufacturers about releasing it, but I'd treat that as rumour until it's confirmed.

If it comes out through shapeways, depending on the cost, I might be in for a group order. I'd also be happy to have a go at painting the parts for others but I only have the G2 version so colour matching the other variants might be difficult.
