Now I'm working on a new Scrander for it. This one is just the first prototype, and it was printed in my DaVinci printer. I'm hoping my SLA printer comes in soon, so I can print the final version properly in that one instead.

Hey TheMazingerZ ...an idea occurred to me moments ago
after seeing this custom figurine in an ad on Craigslist in my region...

http://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xta1/v/t1.0-9/12106994_918086911596970_6350167871591388147_n.jpg?oh=bd0213975fc6c7e3dffdb519c4fbd14f&oe=56C3C6AF

...do you see that chrome cable beneath that rifle? It's a round-wound steel electric guitar string (low E, or low A).
Frikkin genius, huh!

Well, if someday you ever think about making an SRC custom DOUBLAS-M2 perhaps you could use
an electric guitar string for the Doublas-M2's necks... a low E, or a low B electric bassguitar string would
probably fit the proportionate scale of the SRC's body for the double necks.
You'll need a nickle-plated or steel round-wound bassguitar string, like this one...

http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130528192120/mazinger/images/f/f0/Dbrsm2_zps1bfe940c.png

Of course the bass sting won't be as pose-able as a multi-jointed neck like the necks on the Doublas-M2 SOC figure,
but these ribs have a nice "mechanical" look to them; and the string can be bent or curved into position
for posing Doublas-M2's heads.

...if you can't find any bass strings, let me know- I'll look for one and mail it to you.

Those look nice, but I don't think they would be large enough to work as a neck for an SRC scale figure. Now that I'm looking at my gashapon Doublas, I even think they may even be too small for a gashapon sized figurine. I wish there was something a little bigger, but these things are super hard to come by...

For the gashapon, try a regular guitar's low E, D, A, and G strings (round-wound).
I'm about to replace some strings on my acoustic steel-stringed guitar, so I'll mail the old strings to you
and you can try them for whatever you need with your projects.

CFF: So today at Target I saw the electronic Voltron. This is the non-combiner version, and it is well proportioned. It also has faux scratches to simulate battle damage. Dec 26, 2016 22:41:04 GMT

CFF: At $36.99, the price was not bad. But with only 4 copies available which were roughly handled, and poor paint apps on the face and other small areas, I was a bit turned off and did not buy it. I might buy a copy later on as new stock becomes available... Dec 26, 2016 22:44:00 GMT
