As my first shogun inspiration when I was much younger was from the Marvel comic "Shogun Warriors", I decided to make my own custom missile based on the comic series. The comics had several different styles to Raydeen's screamer hawk missile and I had to tweak the design some to fit into jumbo Raydeen properly, and to fit the shooting mechanism, so here is my own version.

I like that! The original yellow toy missle is great to have, but it is kinda blah looking. Your custom is really sharp looking. Is this a resin cast piece? Or did you modify an original?

magengar - thanks for the PM to the Raideen link from the break time area. Will have to see how the download goes or works for sure. Am looking forward to the episodes.
repairtechjon - the missile was started from scratch using milliput. I wanted to keep the triangle tail and had a little wider wing span, but had to make it fit. The tail end of the missile was tuned to allow fit for the firing pin. Believe it should work for either the 1st and 2nd version jumbo Raydeens by excluding the notch the 2nd version missiles had.
I did make a mold of the hand made one and this is one of the pulls from it. It is a solid white plastic piece with enamel paint on the nose.
I plan on making more and listing some on ebay and offering a special RJ price for direct purchase soon.

That's really nice. I saw your auction on e-bay. I am the one that asked you which version it was for. So how does the weight compare? Is it much heavier than the yellow delta wing?

That is a good question and I haven't done (my scale is only a couple feet away ta boot). Will check tonight, but am guessing about a 1/2 again more than the 2nd version delta hawk.

Oh and extremely jealous of that BAC workshop! I'd love to have a work area like that.
Neat stuff in the Halloween Dept.
Are you still doing the Battle Bots stuff?

Man, I Envy You! I..... N - V - UUUUUUUU!!! I'd kill to have a workshop space like That! Small industrial spaces in my area are pretty pricey whether I'd use them for music practice or to set up my own workshop/multi-media production suite. You're armed to the Teeth with all them cool tools and supplies to make your own custom toys. AWESOME! Thanks for showing! zozo-Magengar
