Upgrades

K, I've been wanting to get started modeling out parts for 3D printing quite awhile now and have just started. There are a few guys here that know alot and have already shared what they are experiencing (thanks Wu and Hellscream). There are a few free programs out there to use. Google Sketchup is very simple to use but the free version has locked up some of the 'Solid Modeling' features like 'join/cut' and file export features as well. First question: How do you add a face in Sketchup to close off an end of an object?

Well, I'm working on a Alternator Optimus Prime custom...and I really wanted to go with something different. I thought it ended up really cool, so I wanted to post it here. I have a RadioShack thats closing right around me, and I went in and checked out their line of X-Mods Radio-Controlled cars. They are a little smaller than Alternators. Probably like 1:27, or 1:32, but there are these accessory packs, where you can add better spoilers, body kits, lights, etc... I've seen people use the spoilers and stuff...but how about a set of roof rack lights for the Prime mold? Check out the pics on page 5: Alternators Armada Megatron

Ok first and foremost I should probably say I have no real idea where to put this topic, it didn't seem to fit the Toy discussion so I figure I'd put in the Workbench topic since the Devastator I made sorta fits the description of a kit bash, eitherway here he is: Now I did get a request on how to make this beast so here's a bit of a step by step guide to make him, I apologize in advance for the crappy job I'm sure to do. :redface So before we start here's what you'll need to make the one in the picture: -ROTF: Voyager Demolishor -ROTF: Voyager Mixmaster -ROTF: Deluxe Ravage (yes I know he's not a constructicon) -ROTF: Combiner Class Devastator…

Based on Schlecki02's way of displaying him, I've cut and glued Octane so the Comb of Doom is now a better fitting Shoulder/Back Bladed Thingie... Of Doom. View the Custom Gallery Here
