25th Flash with J.U.M.P.

[gw2tulsa]

I couldn't stop myself on this one. Snagged the flash a few weeks ago and found that he had two left biceps. Since he was now 4-f why not use him for a custom.

I had this old jump in my spares bag and decided to 25th it just a tad. Added in the hose and silver detailing like the Cobra AirTrooper. I did have to cut off the RAH peg and add in a new one a little higher up made from styrene sprue.

The rocket exhaust came from the Star Wars Pit of Carkoon Boba Fett. IIRC its the same part they used for this years convention Flash.

Hope you like. Grand Slam from the upcoming Target Sharc will probably get similar treatment.

Or maybe I should make a 25th Starduster? :)

It looks GREAT!!!!!

[Justanoldfan]

Very cool! I wish Hasbro would take a cue from Kenner and add plastic flames and explosions with some characters...Plastic flames with characters like Blowtorch, Barbeque, etc. would just add to the level of detail.

Nice job!

[Hicks_Royel]

Neat, you're gonna have to do the same thing to Hawk as well.

Man everytime I see a jet pack with the flame stand beneath, I can't help but wonder what fool decided that sticking the laser cord on the bottom of the pack was a great idea...

[Justanoldfan]

Then Hasbro will come back and tell you that JUMP and the laser gun are experimental hardware...and that the cord is heat proof to 10 kabillion degrees...:)

is that even a word?

[tkprime]

Hasbro needs to release the JUMP system again, and a seperate more evil version for cobra command. it would be a cool troop building device!

[CobraSaboteur]

Thats sweet man.

[Hicks_Royel]

...More evil as in painted blue with a red cobra on the launch pad surface?

Yeah, I guess that laser cord is probably some magic "adaptanium" alloy capable of withstanding all types of disaster. Too bad no one ever thinks to make a tank from the stuff.

nice job on this, I had planned on just repainting an air trooper pack for Grand Slam but your's looks great

[xhairs]

very cool.

[CaptainDinobot]

Thats awesome! Great job.

[Justanoldfan]

according to wikipedia it is :)

is that even a word?

[Xerofall]

I need to get me some of those flames, but I can't see spending $6 plus $6 shipping just to get them. :(

I wish Hasbro would sell parts.

[C.I.A.D.]

Very cool indeed. I think I'll have to steal this receipe. :D

[Cobra-La]

I can't believe Hasbro won't give us a JUMP with Grandslam. Especially when they have already modified it for the Air Trooper. That is totally lame of them.

Who is to say that they won't sooner or later? I wouldn't be suprised if one pops up at Toyfair as a Battle Pack or some windowbox set.

Nice work! I am happy to see you around these parts Gary. The last time we spoke you were doing 1/6th scale Jedi fighters, how did that work out?

I cant wait to see what you can do with the Joes!

Celebration 2 was a disaster and the JSF's sorta failed after the initial prototype. They are still out in the Garage collecting dust. I'm glad to be done with Star Wars aside from my personal R2-D2 Replica.

[Mindbender M.D.]

Yeah, I have pix of the R2 you did a while back, is that the same one? Nice work either way. :)
