"How come they made you Aerialbot leader, Silverbolt?
You've got no sense of adventure!"
"Exactly."
Comments: When I first started working
on the Aerialbots, Silverbolt was, sadly, the only one of them for which
I couldn't find a matching die-cast toy. I had to use the wrong jet
type with somewhat similar wings, adding a new piece to the tail section
and sanding down the original cockpit so that I could paint over it and pretend
that it's not really there. The wing engines are blocks of plastic
that I painted and glued in place.
I've since found an actual Concorde jet in die-cast
form, so I'll probably repaint this one into G2 Silverbolt and use the good
one to make the original Silverbolt. (Keep watching this space for
details!) |
