Pelvis is done, but still working on the boots. A lot of putty needed there, then shaping it and adding the wings and tailfins (which I won't make until I know exactly how much space is there for 'em). ---Dave

Amazing work as always...that completed vehicle mode looks exactly like I would expect a 'tix version to look of such a fig.

Proportions are a little wonky, even allowing for Attacktix house style. I decided not to merge the head into the torso, preserving the pose joint at the expense of looking less like the toy. ---Dave Edit: Ooh, and Post 400, too! I'm a 30 point Warrior now!

Why did you decide to invert the colors on the chest? This is a phenomenal sculpt, regardless!!!

I didn't invert the colors on the chest. That's glare on the toy. Now, maybe the animation model inverted the colors, but I was following the toy pretty exactly.

Making this from a Clone Lieutenant but on a Clone Trooper base (the special power works better), gonna bump it to 20 points because it's getting two launchers. ---Dave

The only two-launcher figures (Destroyer Droid and TF S2 Whirl) are 40 and 30 points, respectively. Even Captain America's launch/punch combo is 40. I realize the point cost is probably inconsequential, as they won't see much (any?) combat, but if you're looking to have them blend in with what we have, I would think that anything that can attack twice in a turn should be at least 30.

But all of those have larger bases, better movement, etc.

But all of those have larger bases, better movement, etc. ---Dave Well, it's hard to know what Whirl would have (although this thread suggests 4 movement, the base size in the photo is more than likely inaccurate)... but Droidy packs a med. base and 6 speed. If the Destroyer Droid as our standard, I don't think that going down one level of movement and base size would be a full 20 point drop. Again, maybe it's just me, but I don't think that anything that gets two attacks should sport less than a 30. There's no precedent for it, and even though you're dealing with small missiles, it's a huge advantage. A quick add of the 20 point launchers we have shows that those with only ONE small missile are far and away the majority (22 small vs. 8 med and 3 'others'); I can't imagine that the second missile isn't worth at least 10 more points.

Well, I'm using the base of a 10 point launcher, so figured the extra small missile WAS worth 10 more points. I may be using the Clone Lieutenant figure, but I'm using the Clone Trooper base. If I were using the Clone Lieutenant base, I'd bump it up to 30.

Fitor...from Chew-freakin'-bacca. I had to see it to believe it. And even now, I can't believe it's not butter! Wowza.

Yeah, at this point it hardly matters what the figure is, I just need the joints, base and weapon. On Fitor, at least there was some original figure not covered in putty...I think I'm down to about one square centimeter unputtied on Blaster, and that's mainly on the back. ---Dave

Apologies for the blurriness, I gave up trying to get it to stay in focus after the sixth shot. Still trying to decide exactly how I want to attach the launchers to the arm hardpoints, and of course the boots need to be built up. Shaving the thighs down farther than necessary and then adding a layer of putty DEFINITELY makes them look better. ---Dave

I feel compelled to toss my 2c in here as well. Irrespective of the small base, I really do think that anyone that gets 2 shots merits 30 points. I do so wish Hasbro would've put in figures with "5" point increments as well as the rounded to nearest 10 points.... 25 would be perfect in this scenario.
