I love the idea of a Kup Alt. Looks good so far! :thumb

Can't wait to see the paint job you'll put on it! :thumb

This is rockin, dewd. Cant wait to see how it turns out. Oh and BTW, I used Testors teal green for my repaint of RID X-Brawn into Kup, I just added some white for the lighter shade of teal, and left part of it as it was for the darker, and while its not the EXACT color of the original, it does work for the character. And those acrylics are easy to work with also.

That`s awesome man! That puts my reapaint/kitbash of Bt Wheeljack to shame. You`ll see soon enough.

 

I cant`wait to see this bada$$ version of Kup done. Great job so far! :thumb

I hope yours makes it MUCH forther than my Kup did, I had chosen a '57(?) chevy to match his age

I was at Walmart the other morning and found both Siverstreak and the SSR model so I bought them and I`ll start work on my Kup soon. I need to get a new Ram VTS model for my Rodimus so he`ll take a lil longer.

Wow man. I can't wait to the finished product. That is a perfect fit for Kup.

THAT'S SLAGGIN PRIME!!!!!

 

I wish I could do that stuff.

Dude, this is lookin' awesum!!! I can't wait to see the head mold :D

Ok, I'm back. My office all of a sudden turned into the conversation pit. :tfmad

 

Anyway back to the subject. A Jazz Alt might have been the right answer, but for some reason my Wlamart won't stock him. Plus I had an extra Smokes and the bot mode looks the same.

 

Next step was to dismatle Smokes taking off anything not needed. I removed the wheels using Dark Lord Prime's technique from the Idiots Guide (Works Great, check it out). I then took my Dremel with a sanding drum and began to shave down the front and back of the alt as needed so it would fit in the model. Front clip was majorlly reworked, arms had to be rounded, and rear of bot had to be narrowed and the top shaved down. Heres a pic.
