I just realized that there is a section specifically for works in progress which this is definitely a work in progress. Somehow I missed that. I'll post my next update in that section.

The topic is now in the WIP section...

This an update showing a comparison of the old and new forearm section (new is on top). The piece that fits into the forearm connects with a neodymium magnet that insets into the back of it (another inset being inside the forearm to fit the second magnet). This detachment is used to fit different weapons using the same magnet idea.
I wasn't happy with the rear portion of the original forearm being fairly simple and looking somewhat toy like with the big red button on the back. Once I got the back finished up I then felt like I needed the bottom portion to have similar style to balance it out. I might still modify the bottom portion a bit, or perhaps just change the color.
-
Made a number of smaller changes and mostly finished up the back portion. I'm not 100% happy with the wing design yet. The hinges are relatively large to function correctly as a physical model, but I might make them into a sliding retractable design. Not sure yet. The jet booster/power pack is probably finished other than possible changes in scale.

Oohh very nice!

Thanks!

Just a little info update:
I've made a couple of small changes on this in the wing design but the bulk of my time has been going toward writing and drawing a comic book that uses this design as a central character. Going from 3D to 2D is quite a brain bender and I'm not a super fast drawer, but it's slowly coming along. -
A true puzzle!
-
Looking good so far, now I'm looking forward to the finished print!
-
looking very cool.
cheers!
