We went to over 30 Wal-Marts to find one US MP Screamer, and here you are with one to spare for bashing.

Anyhoo, starting well, and looks promising.

Sherade and --B--, I got 2 or 3 from various stores on my truck route and the rest I got off of ebay. there was a fella selling them 10 bucks above cost for a while. I figure how much time do you waste running from walmart to walmart, gas, time, frustration, etc. I would pay a little extra and have it shipped to me any ol' day. for a while I would just search for him everyday and check lowest price. You'll find one!

ok well, sorry I haven't given you guys any progress reports. he's actually done. no gallery as of yet but here are some shots to give you a pretty good idea.
cheers guys.

Dang man! That is sweet! When I saw the first images I didn't think the wings would really be MP worthy, but boy was I wrong! I should have learned by now not to question your abilities! My appologies! Awesome head too man! You've done Ramjet justice.

amazing work! :APPLAUSE:

thanks guys. there's a certain VTOL taking off soon. :wink:

Damn, that's really nice. Do the wings on the legs interfere with posing at all or can you still move them onto the hip balljoints?

My only suggestion would be to add a little bit of colour or panel lining to the legs to break up all the white a tad.

by **olokin** » Fri Mar 28, 2008 10:25 am

Awesome work Wheel_Jack! How about some pics of your custom seekers together? a gallery would do great.

The wings don't interfere with posing. They also fit on the hip joints if I wanted to go with that route. as far as the legs are concerned, there is a little panel line work but you're right, maybe I need to darken it up a little. thanks
