Body Mod to Movie Thundercracker
Posted by Boanerge Sun Oct 14, 2007 5:48 pm
I was able to find a way to modify the wing/body structures on the movie starscream/thundercracker mold. I think it is a great improvement. It is a fun mold and has interesting proportions but I like it better with a bit more "normal" build.

Looks like the wings fold in now, instead of up? Shoulders look like they sit up higher, closer to the head.
Slims him down a bit and looks pretty good. I'd think about painting the grey parts too, but I guess hasbro is to blame there as well.

Hey, that does look really cool. I don't want to "steal his thunder" so to speak, but one of the things he did was add a ball and socket joint to the wing root in jet mode, this let the other parts fold up better when transforming. I do know he would like to do some other mods, and if he can pull it off, this thing will look SOOOOO much better than the original.

Yes, as J.T. said I added a ball and socket joint at the base of the wing to pivot the whole wing assembly toward the back so things folded up alot more. I am hoping to post a tutorial here soon but, I am not on much. I have some pictures of some of the steps I took in the off chance some body wanted to see.
The ball I used for the joint is a bright bllue and you can see it in both pictures so you may be able to get some idea of how I did this, if you are familiar with the figure.
