First up was [url="https://www.shapeways.com/model/1400917/trailcutting-hoisting-robot-double-ankle-hinges.html"]a set of hinges to make Generations Trailbreaker/Hoist taller in robot mode.[/url]I didn't quite think the whole thing through though, and while it does work, the feet are too small to support the whole toy without some difficulty, and look a bit silly.
I've got a plan for a revised version, but involves whole new feet...
Next up was [url="https://www.shapeways.com/model/1530860/foc-prime-knee-extensions-pair.html"]a set of extensions for the FoC Prime/Magnus mould, as I thought it was a little too short[/url](sensing a pattern here?). The alternative was a set of chunky "shoes" or a new ankle assembly, and I thought it was worth trying something a little more subtle first. I haven't tested these yet, but but they basically came about as part of the brainstorming for a Thunderclash kitbash I'm probably abandoning for now in lieu of an alternative.
I will order myself a set at some point, as I've got a custom FoC Magnus who could stand to be just a little taller~
This evening, in response to something someone mentioned on twitter, I took it upon myself to try and make [url="https://www.shapeways.com/model/1536664/generations-stealth-bomber-shoulder-cannon-mount.html"]a shoulder connector for the Generations Stealth Bomber mould that can fit the Fusion Cannon.[/url] It was pointed out to me that it would make Dreadwing more strongly resemble the original toy, and a shoulder-mounted cannon is hardly unheard of for Megatron, either.
My current project is a bit more ambitious... A set of parts to convert a Classics Voyager Prime/Magnus into a decent sized Thunderclash. The plan's to have the roof of the cab fold and rotate into a chest, and have a "backwards" version of the regular transformation, so I guess I'll need to swap the fists round too. I'm having tremendous fun building stuff with Sketchup though, and have found a 3D print shop within travelling distance of where I live, so I am looking forward to lots more of this in the future.
