    I had that design, and I hated it. The wings are too skinny, the overall robot is too lanky, blue and yellow lions have that weird "hump" in their backs, and the face just looks utterly off. I ended up getting the original Trendmasters reissue of Matchbox Voltron and upgrading that via kitbash to SoC standards.

    Would love to get the 1S Battroid... not even going to go into why I can't. Maybe someday...

    You can make a replacement yourself using Permatex Plastic Welder: https://www.cyechile.cl/MLC-1212245198-adhesivo-soldador-de-plastico-25ml-5-min-84115-permatex-_JM Just mix a little, apply some where you need it, let it harden and sand/ file to shape. It's a two-part epoxy-like material (despite the name), but far less brittle than epoxy and much more versatile.

    I rigged something like that on my custom VF-1J Armored Valk:

    I could do it for you if you need one.

    Meantime, while waiting on parts for my Goodyear Blimp model (plastic), I cobbled together this piece: Maybe not the world's most accurate TMP wrist-communicator, but I did my best!

    Nice work so far, Thom!! For the base: you might want to do up some blueprints to glue to the base!

    Very cool!! Reminds me of what I did with mine:

    Well, it is GoLion's (Voltron's) sword (Ten Kings' / Blazing Sword), but it's neither kit: It's Matchbox/ Trendmasters (originally Popy) Deluxe Voltron III: With 12 inch ruler and can of Pepsi for scale: The base (with handmade logo based on the font used in the 1984 title screen) and custom Lion Key: Sword in holder on base (based off of holder for sword on Soul of Chogokin Golion GX-71) : It's nice to have this project back together; the sword was on hold for two years while trying to figure out how to rebuild it. I needed to use foil tape on it, but all the blades kept flexing, wrinkling the foil and ruining the effect. It was only when I went back to the original blade, cut a slot down 3/4 of it in the center groove and added a hardened steel rod/bar that the sword became inflexible and steady enough for the foil: The hardened rod goes from almost the tip of the blade all the way down to the pommel in the handle! I wanted to make sure this thing was STRONG. On that note: this is what I started with and where it ended up(original work finished in 2019 up until I needed to redo the blade on the sword): (Yeah, this one took a lot of work!!! O.o ) Now, all I need to do is finish detailing the hilt, and this one is done! Thanks for looking folks! Next up: Goodyear!!

    Is it too late to go dig Kamille Bidan out of retirement and put him back into a suit? I'm afraid that's kind of like saying "it's crap, but at least it isn't dog crap"....

    Hoping you feel better Seto; I suffer migraines as well and know exactly what you mean. And that's very interesting about the lasers: I hadn't considered that fiber optics could be used in lasers, let alone without a final collimating lens. O.o Something for me to consider in the design of my transforming fighter.

    Well, the Jedi is running so I'm not sure it would fall on top of him, but that's an interesting point. I just want to make sure the physics are on point!

    UPDATE: Final on my diorama- Finally got the water right, even if it is a slight bit murky! Still can't make my mind up on the cockpit /"head" position though: Oh well. Thanks for watching!
