Re: Customizing Q&A Thread
I am not sure if anyone has decided to dabble with the mold but I want to remove PRID Prime windows/chest but like many of his parts he has pins which are only visible or accessible from one side. Any suggstions or has anyone run into this problem with other figures?

Re: Customizing Q&A Thread
I was curious, anybody take the HA Autobot Whirl mold and repaint/mod it into the Cobra Fang Copter? It does bear a bit of a resemblance to it.

I thought about it, haven't found a Whirl on sale yet. I'm hoping to get one at RCSS this weekend, maybe 2 now!

Re: Customizing Q&A Thread
Can anyone tell a first timer the best glue to use for a custom involving multiple types and grades of plastic on a single figure? (I want the strongest bond possible that will last beyond a single transformation).
Thnx

Sincerely, the best glue is a mechanical connection...any thing you can do to reinforce the joint--consider a pin, screw, or even a tab and THEN add glue..I did this with my custom Voyager Galvatron and know for sure it wouldn't be in one piece if I hadn't.
I'm a big fan of epoxy provided the surfaces are sanded first... Plastic weld is another good choice.

Re: Customizing Q&A Thread
Hey, I am in need of some advice!
I recently bought a shattered glass trailer (same mold as DIA Commander, Shadow Commander, etc.) and it's shoulder's are very loose, as well as the arm parts that you attach. Also, the giant gun it forms won't fold enough for me to put the clip on to hold it...
If anyone has any helpful tips or tricks for this, let me know or post a link to where I can fix it.
Thanks a lot!

Re: Customizing Q&A Thread
A Shattered Glass City Commander trailer? As far as I know FansProject did not release such a version. Sounds like you bought a knock-off.

Re: Customizing Q&A Thread
^^The shoulders are simple. For my KO Dia Commander I just folded paper and taped it to the sides to narrow the shoulder slots.
