dillthepill Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 Hey guys. I was thinking of seeing a air vehical in '07(this was before the new set pics) and I decided to make my own. I thought a Shadow Crawler would be a good alternate for this. If you want instructions, please post and I will try to get to it soon. So without further adu, I present the Shadow Phantom! Equipped with laser cannons, destroyer disc launcher, two missles,a claw, and a laser light in the back, this beauty could give the Sky Guardian a run for it's money. On the bottom of the Shadow Phantom, there is a prison pod, which contains either a dead or alive human. Being upside down could be hellish for poor prisoners. The left wing has a destroyer disc launcher. On the right wing there are two powerful laser cannons. The cockpit is well guarded too, with two laser cannons, plenty of protection from the wind screen, two missles, and of course an Exo-Code to power the machine up. At the very front of the mech is the claw, which could damge the target badky by diving at it. And at the very back is the "tail" which has a little laser light in the back to shoot enemies from behind. Hope you like it and if you want instructions just say. EDIT: All right, I have changed the weapons now. Here is the improved Shadow Phantom!! The left wing has been changed to a more powerful and rapid firing duo cannon. It is much more threatening now. After all the discs would fly out in the air when the Shadow Phantom's did loops and such, Mecha One decided to update the Shadow Phantom. The right wings weapon was replaced with a gatling cannon and the left one is now a duo cannon too. As much as the wings changed, the tail and the nose weren't changed at all. The cockpit changed too. The two guns are different at the ends and the missles were replaced with spikes. I also change how much the orb covers the cockpit. Before After I will try to post instructions tommorow(here in my state it is 11:19 PM, Jan 6th so tommorrow would be around 9:00 PM for most of you guys. Obviously there is a huge time difference. Comments, please. Thx Quote
jeffrey Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 *wub* the bottom prison is interesting if you imagine th Shadow P. fly over and drop the skeleton to you:-D But the disc launcher is not matched with this air fighter as it is fast but not heavily armed. Quote
dillthepill Posted January 6, 2007 Author Posted January 6, 2007 Right, I'll try to get to them. Quote
vahkimetru Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 Very cool! I made an alternate once for my brother using his Shadow Crawler, 'cause he wanted me too. *y* I'll make the template right away! EDIT: TEMPLATE Quote
Kahgarak Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 Nice, although i personally wouldn't use ball joints to connect the wings.However, with the parts given, this is pretty well done. Good job. Quote
dillthepill Posted January 6, 2007 Author Posted January 6, 2007 Great template, Vahkimetru, and thanks for all your comments. Quote
Kikuichimonji Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 The disc launcher looks really out of place. Other then that, it's pretty good (although I still think it's a terrible color scheme, but that's TLC's fault ;-) ) Quote
vahkimetru Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 Really Kikuichimonji? I don't love green, but it goes well with the black and grey. Quote
dillthepill Posted January 6, 2007 Author Posted January 6, 2007 You guys, I think I might do a mod to the weapons. Vahkimetru, if I did this you would need to change the template. Would you mind? If you do I won't change the weapons. Please post. Quote
vahkimetru Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 Sure, I don't mind modifying the template. However, this time around, the template would look better if you took the pics against an all white background. Blank paper works fine. *y* Quote
dillthepill Posted January 7, 2007 Author Posted January 7, 2007 I got the new Shadow Phantom up! I will try to post instructions soon. Quote
exo attack Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 Wow! That ones much cooler! I like the idea of the energy discs on the guns. And because of the clear stick it looks like the SP's really firing. Incredibly great moc all the way. P.S maybe you should join the exo force network. Just click on Khagaraks banner and go to register. Its really easy! Quote
dillthepill Posted January 7, 2007 Author Posted January 7, 2007 Yes, I've thought about joining before. I may join today now that you mention it. :-) Quote
EXO-CHAMP Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 Good work Dill. It looks almost like a starfighter. Personally I think it would look even better with a set of cannons on the other wing, but the set doesn Quote
dillthepill Posted January 7, 2007 Author Posted January 7, 2007 You guys, are the newer pics huge to you? Cuz on my computer screen they are gigantic. I modified them to a small size, but it isn't working. Please post. Quote
dillthepill Posted January 7, 2007 Author Posted January 7, 2007 All right, I resized the pics. Now the new ones are normal size. Vahkimetru, would you mind making another(and this will be the last one for sure) template? X-D Now that the pics are smaller you can get the whole machine in. Thanks, and sorry for the trouble.

dillthepill Posted January 8, 2007 Author Posted January 8, 2007 You guys, the instructions are gonna have to wait another day. I had the backround and the Shadow Phanotm ready, but then the camera ran out of batteries. At least it'll give you another day to get the required Shadow Crawler. Quote
vahkimetru Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 All right, I resized the pics. Now the new ones are normal size. Vahkimetru, would you mind making another(and this will be the last one for sure) template? X-D Now that the pics are smaller you can get the whole machine in. Thanks, and sorry for the trouble. While I can't be on forever, i don't mind making templates at all, so should you need them, just ask. :-) Dill, I just started the card. The shape of the pic makes me not able to make the whole mech in the card. :-( However, if you take it from farther away and crop the pic to 300*500 then that would be good! :-) Quote
dillthepill Posted January 8, 2007 Author Posted January 8, 2007 Yes, and the Shadow Phantom isn't that thin either. Your way seems the best. Quote
