Beast Hunters Smokescreen Mod

Postby Predascream » Sun Mar 24, 2013 2:40 am

Motto: ""Victory is made of the ashes of one's enemies""
Weapon: Cluster Bombs
Here's a tip to not only reduce BH Smokescreen's arm kibble, but also fill up his back a little bit to avoid having him look so flat. I saw a tip that suggested to detach the hood panels and clip them to the arms that hold his door-wings, but this kind of hinders the figure's show accuracy. What I've done is detach the hood panels, but ineasted of clipping them to the arms that hold the door-wings, I basically tucked the hinges under those same arms. In order to achieve this, you have to take the wheels that tab onto the chest plate, and point them slightly outward to create some clearance. Once you have tucked the hinges under the arms that hold the door-wings, press on the wheels to hold them in place. You can then position the panels, so that they rest just under the two tabs found on the figure's lower back.

Hope this helps, everyone!

I've passed on this guy both times I've seen him in stores, and I swear every time he's mentioned in a thread on this board, there's some improvement that makes me mad I passed on him. Perhaps I won't pass on him a third time....provided the price isn't the insane $17.50 or whatever at Target, as I think their ten dollar Deluxe sale ended yesterday.

The figure is far from perfect, but it's still a pretty cool figure. I definitely recommend picking him up.

Motto: "When did I get this tattoo?"
Weapon: Thrust Gun
I gave this mod a go. It doesn't fix a whole lot of the thinness when you look at him from the side (then again, no mod so far has), but it does take a whole lot off the arms and puts a lot more on his back. And it's so easy to do! Thank you so much. :APPLAUSE:
