FOC Bruticus upgrade kit by Echotransformer

[Mythirax]

I noticed on TFW2005 this morning echo made a post saying:

Quote: "I am hopeful that the new Ruination kit I have designed will be of interest for customs like this because you can mix and match the parts between the sets. I was fiddling with my prototypes recently and had a blast mixing arms, legs and chest pieces to create different gestalts!

Transbots and I need to gauge interest on Ruination to ensure we will have enough sales...expect a poll with some pictures soon!"

Be interesting what exactly they have created for the wreckers set. If it's good I might have to get it and throw this Dark Force on G2 Bruticus

Not the greatest photo, but you get the idea. I'm planning to paint the Vortex and Blast Off parts, as well as add the purple camouflage pattern to the chest/waist shields. Hopefully I can get a pretty close colour match.

Nice. I can't wait for my G2 version. Ordered some G2 reprolabels yesterday in preparation

So I got this guy, but I'm presuming Vortex's tail fin isn't cut properly. What should I do? And if I need to cut it (which i sort of tried, Stanley knife wont go through it). What should I use to cut it?

Looks like a mould fail, you can see the outline of the clips in the photo. Is it solid plastic? You could try going gently with a hobby knife or razor saw, or you could try a dremel. Might be easier to see if you can get a replacement part for your vendor, though.

Think I might have to get myself a hobby knife, do they end up being pretty sharp? As this plastic is a good 1mm~ thick? And sadly I purchased it off ebay

Try sand paper. At least that way you can easily keep testing if it will fit after sanding it down a bit at a time.

Are they not releasing a G2 version of this upgrade or is the black it? That's actually what I am waiting for as I want the purple camo.
