Yo, I will be attempting my first re-shelling/re-building of a TF. I am doing Wheeljack using an Alt. Sunstreaker as the base, and I have a 1/24 Lancia Stratos all ready to go. Problem is, I don't know wher eto go form here. I have never tried re-shelling, and a lot of you have, so what do I need to do? Same TF scheme as Dead End/Sunstreaker, just with the Lancia alt. mode. I have a dremel, saw, sandpaper, x-actos, glue, plumber's putty, a drill. Somebody get me started in the right direction
THANKS!

I personnaly don't know that much about that but try to look on Transtopia. The great LOBO made a wonderfull tutorial about that exact subject ! Very instructive and I hope helpfull for you.

Never done this myself as well, but I agree with laulau's advice: go to transtopia.

In the transtopia forums Lobo did a step for step description how he turned an Alt Swindle into a Grapple. Come to think of it, it might also be here as well scratchchinhmm.gif

Also, on the main page there was a follow-along by JAF for reshelling Meister to G1.

Actually, Jaf from transpia did a same thing but he used a tracks body.
I'm curious to see how much your try will be different.
I agree with you, Sunstreaker body seems to be a better choice.
