I am excited all the things I have made I think this is the first time I have actually put my money where my mouth is and posted here.

Afterburner = Tankor modified picture those as flame throwers, with fuel tanks, it worked out nice since his old accessories were orange as well. I basically did a few paint apps, slight mod, and of course reprolabels mini symbols.

I posted my future plans in the WIP section but was thinking this needed to go here and that needed to go there.

But here is the goodness, I had to scan him because my digital camera is old and has no focus.

here's a suggestion. paint the raised part of the missile grey to match his arms. then it looks like there's flame shooting through his arms and out the barrels.

Ya, I nice Idea Jaguar I was going to glue circles to the ends to make a "lip" or "barrel" like you painted on, but I tried to use Gorilla Glue, since model glue and plastic weld do not like whatever plastic the missiles are made out of, but the Gorilla Glue is not good for small things, it made them move and after 24 hours it was stuck good but not in the center where I wanted it..

So I decided to just go with the old toy orange accessory feel, originally I was going to panel line the head so it stuck out, just to wither side, but I have found panel lines look good on Gundams not so much on Transformers( Ialso realized this after trying to panel line up one of those kids meals Hotshots). Also I was going to drill holes in the weapons to paint up similar to your idea, but after cutting that stuff I knew not to embark on that endeavor.

Thanks for the idea though.

Here's my suggestion: legos. Get some Lego fire pieces, drill a hole in the end so they fit in. That way they're removable, and he can actually shoot fire.
