Fisto, from germany it just got rubbed off from working on ed209 so much and left it unprotected, I think...

I treated all my rubber and it's still slowly rotting, short answer yes I'm planning on new dome with correct shape. I will be offering all you see as upgrade packs to your ed209 models, right now I'm still in development phase. I'll have a pack with like new dome with corrected shape, metal...

Well I love the look of real metal on ED209 so much that I'm trying to replace all painted metal with real metal, movement will be smooth and gapless. Even the filming ed209 had real metal. Look up ed209 armature skeleton and see it!

Sneak peak of all metal rails upgrade, each one takes four hours to do because it's a manual mill with no computer controlled anything. I wish someone would help me who had a cnc mill and we could do a group buy. Note center cut on rail in photo not yet done but will be, I'm just test fitting...

Yes, I drilled holes and put in actual real metal 3mm 2.5mm 2mm socket hex cap bolts. Screwed them in just as the real thing would be with allen key / wrench.

I have now replied to all who wanted the leg mod, and there is enough of you guys to start a run. If you didn't get a message from me you can add me on skype. sskrafter

Ok, I thought about it and I do want to help everyone out by offering the foot mod service. It is really important to the character and I feel hot toys cheated us on this and the crap rubber. I think $60 plus shipping is very reasonable for both legs, all I ask is try to form a group so I can...

I'm in los angeles, only the legs out need to be shipped, the legs can be popped off easily with a flat head driver no damage at all. There is a youtube video showing this exact process. Those are all, every last one, real metal socket hex cap screws! Note central air intake to a stock one vs...

Yes, and I very upset that the factory did not make it that way. I mean how hard is it to design a little more range. I'm so upset by this, especially because you can't do the big movie pose as I just did without the full range of motion... That I'm thinking to offer the modification service...

This is a life time achievement project for me. The barrels are now real metal, I left it unpainted for now to show them off. I guess you helped me answer a question of at which point do the manufactures cut the detail level. The closer you look the more you will see, now if you spot...

Ok, folks it's basically done, and so I present you the pics. Happy new years to all.

Yes I did thank you. I just really dislike that they made such a repeated mistake on the mouth in both V1, and v2. In V2 it has a deeper hole but they pushed the speaker with the mouth all the way forward, in a sad attempt to get more of the bad sound out. They could not simply take a clip of...

Yeah you read my mind I can't wait to weather it, but I must hold off till all of them have been replace to take clean pictures. Here is another picture just for you!

Updated pics, waiting on more hex cap screws...

Those are bump stops in the movie when shutting down and rapid spring loaded pushers when turning on. It's a very minor detail that I love they included in the model even if it can't actually function like in the film. I hope I explained that in a way you can understand if not just let me know...

More pics, with normal lighting possible. I like the shot, but hard to see what you did.

This is my first post and if I posted something wrong you guys can help me correct it. I have wanted to do this for a very long time, and it takes a tremendous effort to do. No power tools can be used since the smallest mistake leads to big problems. I had to get specialized hand tools to get...

The kind you find in model airplane stores, and it sets with 2 part epoxy glue. Just talk into a RC model airplane store and they will fully explain and show you all the cool pattern types. I already got some just need to test it out one day and see if I can make it, but the shape is very hard...

I have 3 domes total, 2 of the 3 are rotting. 1 of 2 rotting was from the 2006 release. I'm very upset about this issue, and tried for years to call the factory to find out why it is happening. I did not have any success in contacting anyone that could really help. I begged them to contact...
