bbrain Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 So around 1988, I had a Jetfire armor, 1/55 Hikaru VF-1A, and a Matchbox Raider-X.. My older brother had a Strike Valkyrie I was envious of, I traded him my 1A head plus (a gerwalk ishforn or some voltron lions) for his 1S head (not a good trade) and I sawed off one of Jetfires Boosters and tore apart my poor Raider-X to make this I was happy with it back then, but it got packed away and i only recently found it when i went home, and now i kind o want to update it. My question is, what would be the best method to create a connector to hold the swivel shoulder of the Raider-X to lock into the rear part of the booster? Commission someone (one of you?) for the job or some type of moulding process/3D printing? Worst comes to worst i will just glue it on, but i would like to make it semi legit, it's more just to bring back home next time and show my brothers (hey remember this) thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I'd say, buy a piece of styrene or find a piece of plastic the same thickness as the pivot on the arm, then drill a hole that's the same diameter. Cut it in half, then glue into place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXO Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 You can also add another piece with a bigger hole that goes around the bigger circle. No need to split in half, this can actually make it more stable and keep the split in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
