Scratch Build Question???

[Darth Wave]

So I have been trying out working with Styrene the past month and I think I have the hang of it now. I think I'm ready to go ahead and build a bot from scratch. Not sure if it will be able to transform into it's alt mode but I'll give it a try.

Now the question I have is if I build a G1 Jetfire using styrene would it be considered a Scratch Build if I'm using the Real G1 Jetfire as a template piece by piece??? The only thing that may be from the original G1 Jetfire are : landing gear, springs, cockpit canopy, shoulder hinge????



As you can see for the wing part on the left, I traced it on styrene and then cut it out, drilled the hole and sanded down the edges.

You are still making pretty much all the parts from materials that start out nothing like the finished product so I would class it in the scratchbuild catagory! (looks sweet too by the way!)

yeah you make a good point... well I guess I'll be posting more pic's up soon then in the Scratch/build section. I hope this thing turns out... lol.

exactly what h/p said,it's totally a scratch build.
if you were to just slap some new colors on something,then it'd just be a repaint.
but being as you're completely fabricating the parts yourself.....
