Lend me your ears!
Joyce and Walky!: I FEEL ASLEEP
And David said, "Let the earless Nightbeat toy sent by FedEx have ears, and may they be ears from Cobra Commander guns." And it was so. David called the new ears "sweet," and the completed kitbash "totally rad to the max." And David saw that it was good.
Wheee! Now my Nightbeat makes me fully happy. No longer do I have to wince at Nightbeat's featureless sides of his helmet, knowing that something, somewhere is terribly missing. Quick, Fun Pub, bring unto me a Siren!
I spent a while this morning Dremeling away the bits of the Cobra Commander guns I didn't want. I sanded away the handles, removed the nubs at the end of the barrels, and got rid of the pegs I didn't want. I left two pegs on the guns for later.
Because the next step was drilling in holes on each side of the head. I was afraid of starting with too big of a hole, so I started small and drilled it bigger until I could fit the remaining pegs of the guns in securely. And then, the gluing.
After I finished, I realized I had to remove some more gun off the bottoms, to make them level with the bottom of the head. So that got Dremeled off as well.
I have no idea why the shot of Nightbeat's head from under the car mode amuses. But it does.
As I suspected, I do have to remove the head during transformation, and then reattach it after I'm done. Which, as I said, is something I had to do anyway, since the head is REALLY LOOSE. God damn, does it just fall off. Geez.
But again. Perfection is achieved.
