BAD. @$$. Custom. 

 

  That head Screams HOTROD & is complemented by an Awesome Paintjob, but those PipeCannons really Seal the Deal, completing his Character.  TOP Notch work, mate -Thank you for Sharing! 

 

Would it be possible to Integrate the Pipes with Swipe's Side-Exhaust Ports? Could be a Nice touch in vehicle mode..... :tfgrin

I just caught this.  Dude, that is a sick custom.  That's the kind of project that makes me wish I had a knack for this type of thing, honestly.  What a great looking BT.  I'd snatch that up if it was available to purchase.  I don't blame you for wanting to mess with it more, but it's damn near perfect, in my eyes.  Something about Hot Rod's design is very appealing to me, lately.  Not so much his character, just the look of him.

 

If Hot Rod ever did come back as Hot Rod, I should hope he'd look exactly like this.  Great job!

I'm soooo going to TRU and buying a 2pack!

 

This is the Best Alt I've seen yet! You rock man!

 

Any plans on making some pipes for the bot mode. I know they'd have to be removeable, but if you can do this, there is no doubt you can make some pipes.

 

Awesome, Friggin' Awesome!

what 2pack?

 

and len, you should definetly make some pipes for him and i was wondering were you got the head from? or did you just alter the sideswipe head?

The head is a modified Sideswipe head. Cut down the black parts and resculpted the helmet using putty.

 

For me, the head defines the character so much more than the body :D  So I usually spend more time in focusing on and sculpting heads rather than the actual body of my customs.

Well FWIW your attention to the head sculpt DEFINITELY shows. Holy crap dude, that is awesome.  :thumb

that is awesome...

what did you sculpt the head out of...i would love to give something like that a try,

also..what did you make the wings out of?

wow the pipes does it!

 

unbelieveable...

Did this over the weekend using a KO Sideswipe. Its more of a trial so got some unpainted parts. Not too happy with the head so might redo it next time. But for now he'll stay as is  :tfgrin

How on earth do you get the windshield to swivel around to his back? I've tried it on my Swipe and can't get it.

Come on! Just a hint!

Great Job :thumb  And the Head looks fine.
