I had this revamp for a while. And only just recently I've decided to take pics of it and post them here.I originally wanted the yellow Jetrax. But Lego were not wise to make it a Target exclusive when Targets were only in America around 2008-2009. So I settled for the blue version but I was still happy none the less.What surprised me the most is in the Comics when Kopaka got control of the Jetrax. We never got a good clear view of what his armor was when he was piloting the vehicle. So I took the liberty of designing a Jetrax version of Kopaka. I took design ideas from his Phantoka set and The Jetrax version of Antroz to make this versionFront (Forgive the use of glatorian hands. I forgot to switch them for normal ones before I took the pictures.)http://upload.bricks...etraxT6/029.jpgBackhttp://upload.bricks...etraxT6/030.jpgIn order to fit the wing visor onto Kopaka's mask I had to do some part modifying. His mask now has a black lightsaber blade running through it to allow the mask too attach to the visor and his head. His eye scope has also been pushed in further so I doesn't stick out.http://upload.bricks...etraxT6/031.jpgBut enough of the pilot you came to see the vehicle.Taking parts from both Vultraz's vehicle and Toa Ignika's surfboard. I've decked out Jetrax with more armor and better designs. All of its functions still work and I've added some functions myself.Top view Front, Engines extendedhttp://upload.bricks...etraxT6/020.jpgTop view backhttp://upload.bricks...etraxT6/021.jpgTop View no pilot, Engines retracted, Cockpit openhttp://upload.bricks...etraxT6/022.jpgBottom viewhttp://upload.bricks...etraxT6/023.jpgClose up of bottom. Here I installed some retracting landing gear for the Jetrax. Simply turn the black angle bars on either side of the vehicle and the landing gear will fold in for flight. There is a back landing gear but that is always in an out position. It doesn't get in the way of flying so Its left out.Landing gear extendedhttp://upload.bricks...etraxT6/023.jpgLanding gear retractedhttp://upload.bricks...etraxT6/025.jpgClose up of back of vehicle. Here I added a rubber band so when a lever on the middle of the vehicle is moved the cockpit springs open.http://upload.bricks...etraxT6/026.jpgLever switch closedhttp://upload.bricks...etraxT6/027.jpgLever switch openedhttp://upload.bricks...etraxT6/028.jpgGallery when publichttp://upload.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=502157Comments and critsim appriciated
