Heavy Mods & Scratchbuilds GDO Hot Spot Ladder/Gun upgrade (Shapeways)

[zoso1900]

When I think of Hot Spot the first thing that comes to mind is a blue firetruck with a ladder. Sadly GDO Hot Spot was missing said ladder. I decided that with the help of Shapeways I can add that classic G1 Hot Spot look to GDO Hot Spot.

The upgrade includes an extendable ladder that measures about 12". There is an add on piece that will turn the existing gun into a handheld gun with a 5mm handle. The last piece is the attachment that is used for both the ladder and gun to attach it to Hot Spots arm. The ladder can store on his back in bot mode using existing holes located on his back. And in alt mode you can have either the ladder or gun on his back.

Please comment and let me know what you think.

For those interested the set can be purchased at the link below.

Nicely done! looks great with the ladder

It does look very good. This would work with inferno too I take it?

P.S. What material do you recommend printing in?

Excellent work, love the detail in the ladder and the price is very respectable! Beats the old TFC kit IMO...

It should work with Inferno, I know that the ladder will work on Grapple but I do not have Inferno to try.

And I used white, strong, flexible. the details are not high so I dont think you have to get it polished.
