GoBots Cy-Kill model, based on the Monogram 1/12 model kit

**Latest update 5/12/19** I'm calling it done. I had issues with the cyclone folding, so I glued it solid. For me it was the best option. Also, I don't have the files for the other hands yet, I'm having problems drawing them correctly. I might add them into the files later, but for now, I'm calling this done. Thanks for looking. https://youtu.be/nIzC94VGU_A I am modeling this from a 1/12 scale model kit, to the kits dimensions. I am measuring (millimeters) the important dimensions, and 'eye-balling' some of the curves and angles. I am printing it 3X bigger, which is making a 1/4 scale model. My plan is to make this one section at a time (starting with the head) and then load a YouTube video of the build. So theoretically, if you want, you can down load the files as I load them, scale to whatever size you want, and follow the videos for assembly. I will also load pics or scans of the instructions, and pics of the finished parts as I get them done. Do not glue the head on. It needs to come off to put the folded up bike on his back. At the moment the head is loose, I need to figure out a way to ‘snap’ the head on and have it removable. I just loaded the first youtube video for this build. My youtube channel name is 'custom fabrications', and search for '3D printing Gobots Cy-Kill 1/4 scale'. https://youtu.be/_IqrrqQms14 I'm naming each file to corraspond to the part. For example, a file named "cykill-1- 64(63)" is from step 1 in the instructios (the head) part 64 (left side helmut), and any numbers in () is the inverse, so (63) is the right side. So print the part as is, then print it again inverted. There are also metal parts like springs and hardware in the kit. I'm going to have to leave it up to you to find that. I don't even know yet if I have parts that would work. Thanks for looking, and let me know if you have any questions. Oh, and if anyone wants to 'fix' things, (like the face) feel free. I'm not completely happy with the face, but it's not too bad for my first attempt at something like that. Update on 5/12/19: I just loaded the zip files for the cargo pods and on titled 'extra stuff'. in the extra stuff folder are new parts that cover the wheel screws so the other parts will fit better. The part labeled 'HM' is a head mount. The stl is already 3x bigger, so if you are printed 3x like me, then don't make it any bigger. It just glues onto the bottom of the neck and allows it to clip into the body. I'll show in in t youtube video and I'll post a pic of it hear. Unfortunately the cyclone folding into a jet pack feature didn't work out so well. I decided to glue the cyclone solid. I couldn't even pick it up with out it wanting to flop apart. If you decide to try it, print the parts of the cyclone wheels and tires as light as possible and make the joints tight. And it may work. As always, thanks for looking, and good luck if you try it.
