That turned out great! So much work, and such a pain when paint does do what you want it to do. The end result was worth the effort though. Cheers

This is AMAZING! I know you already said it, but that purple paint job on the body of the Raider came out beautifully! And the red parts turned out very clean as well, after all the heartache. Well done, sir!

That turned out awesome! Great job on the custom sculpt work and adding the Havoc Staff head to the grapple hook. Another paint tip that might help in the future is to scour all plastic parts with abrasive pads and then wash before priming. Almost all injection molded plastic is treated with a coating at the factory that makes it hard for paint to stick. Also, as you learned the hard way, it's best to paint when humidity is below 65% and I have found it is best to go slow, paint in thin layers and let them dry completely (48 hours) before adding additional coats. It's a pain in the rear to be patient and go so slow, but it's less of a pain in the rear than having to sand everything down and start over.😁

This is great! Have you ever tried the Alumilite mold making products? That may save you some time for certain parts. Once you have a mold you could recreate the parts in any color resin you'd like. Again, great work!

I’m not sure, I was told Axel Gimenez call it the Storm Raider which I think is a better name!

Great job man. Maybe you should try finding lego dragon wings. There are diferent sizes and one of them should fit. That way you wouldnt need to sculpt them. But they could be pricey.

Mattel Creations might eventually release a Night Stalker or a Storm Raider, but I wouldn't count on either. Both the Wind Raider and Stridor have been on sale for a long time as neither sold nearly as well as it seemed Mattel hoped they would. Even though they already have the molds, they still might not think making the alternate versions is worth the trouble or small profit. Hopefully they will make them - I'm just saying I wouldn't bet much on it.

Wash, scrub, PRIME, paint.

Why not use a vintage one instead of a new one I literally have a whole crap load of these that nobody wants I keep ending up with them with broken wings and other broken parts I think I've got four where I've been meaning to find out how they come apart because the string is broken for the grappling hook and I've been meaning to find out if there's a way to take them apart and put the string back on getting the original wings is just ludicrous I wish somebody on eBay made 3D printed wings for this thing where I keep getting them in boxes of stuff people are getting rid of the sides for the Landshark or another example I think I've got six Lan sharks with one or both sides broken and it's almost impossible to get the side off of one without it breaking and falling apart because of colored plastic syndrome. Honestly wish people made replacement 3D sides for the land shark

@@MakeShapeCreate Given how flimsy the wings are on the original and little fin on the back I don't know why nobody 3D prints replacements given how many GI Joe vehicles you can get 3D printed replacement parts. Not joking I've got a box of wind Raiders where I keep ending up with them missing the wings. Land sharks and other one where I keep getting them with the pieces on the back broke and let the guns go on.
