My revised Kreon vests came in today from Shapeways, and I'm pleased to say that the back peg now supports "leading brand" pieces.

I feel comfortable unleashing the world:
http://www.shapeways.com/model/844901/robovests-vol-1-14-vests.htm.

That set includes all three Reflector vests, Sunstreaker, Prowl, Hound, Gears, Brawn, mini-car chest, sportscar chest, Hot Rod, Kup, Blurr, Frenzy.

I'm piecing together a second volume that will contain different vests, as well as thinking about different combinations.

what are those little floating disks? and it looks like only 3 of them have the backs connected to the fronts.



probably a minor upload error or something ^__^

Hummina hummina wha?

Thanks for catching that...

I'm on it...

UPDATE: Fixed!

It looks like the bottoms of all the neck braces were erased from when I double-checked them. Go fig. But things should be corrected.

Good eye, though, Wulongti!

Here's the final product of the vests for Blurr, Hot Rod, and Kup:



I'm pretty happy with how these came out. Hot Rod's flames were far more visible than I thought they would be.


And here's Frenzy/Rumble:



I think that might be my favorite vest so far. The lines are crisp and clear and cast shadow well. Plus, it works for two different figures, so it's a time saver.

those look amazing!! to you and Wulongti,so much so that I've downloaded ShetchUp to try some myself.

was this the set I ordered?? (finger crossed as Hot Rod Looks Epic)

if not I'll be ordering them on the 22nd!, and if you could get the helmets ready as well then i'll order a set of those (especially the Magnus one as mine isn't that great

Cool! These vests really aren't that hard to make at all once you get the hang of it.

If you ordered the 14 vest set, then you should have the Hot Rod vest in there.

I'm about to put in an order for a new batch of test helmets, so I can't guarantee I'll be happy with things by the 22nd. If you are willing to risk a few dollars on an untested new head interior, I can definitely have some revisions up by then.

If you like these vests, I'm almost ready to release Volume 2, which so far will feature chest plates for Ultra Magnus, Springer, Twin Twist, Topspin, Wreck-gar, two different junkion vests, and a Seeker.

Do you have any requests?

for me you've now done 2 of my 3 favourite characters (Hot Rod & Magnus)
I have a 'super Kre-on' Ultra Magnus in the works from Wulongti' Bruiser and a Powermaster Prime as well.

the real Holy Grail Kre-ons for me would be some of the Character's from Transformers Prime.- bumblebee is my all time favourite (hopefully that's a challenge for you)
and maybe six-shot, Fort max, cerebos & spike. (i did have an idea about turning kreons into headmasters),but as I had 3 weeks off over the holidays and no-one picked up anything from my workstate I'm flat out for the next few weeks.

I was thinking of doing addons for the Bruiser set for the different Giants... Omega being the first, but also thinking of doing Ft. Max, Metroplex, combiners, etc.

As for the idea of having Kreon Headmasters, here's some sketches I did last week:

I don't see why I couldn't put those vests together, but there is already a Bumblebee with a Prime style chest stamp: [url]http://www.hasbro.com/kre-o/en_US/shop/details.cfm?R=6CD42221-5056-900B-10D4-722B0FEB7569:en_US

@Dough-bot:

Will this do for Sixshot?
