First off, these things have taken me quite awhile to build and my third is on the way.  The two that are currently built are War Within Wheeljack and War Within Hound.  The third that I'm building now is War Within Prime  :tflaugh . 

The pics are of the versions without paint/decals and I won't be able to get new pics up before Christmas due to a lack of a digital camera. :tdown

These things are fully transformable, but are lacking in poseability and the Wheeljack and Hound actually "plug and play" to transform.  I'm working to make them one solid piece and I'm real close with Hound.  Wheeljacks probably a hopeless cause as far as making it all one piece with my simplistic joints.  Hey, give me break here because everything is custom made from sheets of polystyrene (plastic).

 

Now the sweet part...I'm willing to trade slightly better versions of either one of my currently built ones for an Amdriver Jenus ZEAM figure (or just straight up buy Jenus ZEAM if someone makes me a reasonable offer).  I've come up with a more hidden joint system in reference to the better versions.  If you're interested, let me know via pm or e-mail and I'll send you a link to my yahoo group so you can see more pics of my customs and get some more information on them and the trade.

 

If you don't have what I'm looking for, but have some other Amdriver stuff you want to try to trade, let me know.  And for those with no trade in mind, I'll hopefully be posting some information on my customs here soon enough (I'll probably be auctioning one or two off shortly).

 

Anyway, on to the TEASER PICS.  :thumb

 

 

*demands more*

I'll post a picture of each of their robot modes if I can get one reply related to the trade I proposed.  I'll even post a cutout version of Wheeljacks car mode in color if I find someone willing to trade.  :thumb

In my experience, "I'll show you my product only if you're interested in buying it" isn't the best business model.  Oh well, they probably don't really transform anyway...

 

There. There's a trade-related post for you. :P

While I won't post anymore pics here, I'll go ahead and invite anyone that wants to join my yahoo group to join it.  There are a few more pics in there of the customs.

I was really hoping to spur some interest in a trade without having to answer a ton of questions from people who had no interest in helping me get what I was looking for.  I'm sorry if I came across any other way.  My bad.  But like I said, I planned to give more information soon to those that couldn't help in my search.  I was actually going to wait until I got my new camera, but oh well, just take the pics on the group for what they are worth, undecaled and not perfected.  I would still really like to get my hands on a Jenus ZEAM. 

Wait till you see prime, it's one solid piece with no plug and play other than maybe the head.  I haven't figured out a way to get the head to fit inside it yet but I'm working on it.  And it looks pretty comic accurate for being made out of plastic sheets.

If you're looking to sell/trade/buy, the best place to do it would be in The End Cap forum.  The best way to generate interest probably would be to wait untill you have updated images and then just go ahead and post about it in the trade forum.  People only string along their customs with select in-progress pics when they're actually in progress or didn't take photos of all sides & modes; if you don't keep them updated too long people stop paying attention.  Finished pics draw more attention, especially if you're trying to sell them or get them to trade with you for a specific item. Who wants to bother making an offer for a TF they hardly know anything about or even see in robot mode?

 

And I'd have to say your Yahoo Group sums up the hassle of trying to stay interested in these customs; I can't even be bothered to look through that mess for more images, let alone join it. You're apparently so worried about exerting too much effort in trading you're making everyone else work for it.

 

 

Oh, and welcome to the board.  Don't pick up the soap. :P

As far as the pics go, I kinda had my camera die on me and won't get a new one until Christmas.  I wasn't quite sure if I should split the trade part of the message up or not, but I ended up keeping everything together so that if someone was interested, they wouldn't have to search for the other message. 

 

As for the yahoo group, I don't understand your problems.  The pictures can be found in the photos section under each transformer's repsective picture folder.  The information faq and trade list are found in the files section.  I'll post a notice in the messages section just in case anyone else was having trouble.  I even tried to name the pictures themselves so that people wouldn't have to wonder too much as to what they were looking at.  Sorry for any confusion, I'm trying my best on this.  I've had about 6-8 people join since last night and I haven't had any complaints from them.

 

Here's a picture of each in robot mode.  These shots were actually taken before Hound and Wheeljack were totally finished.  The heads on both are paper, but now, both are made out of either plastic or plastic and MagicSculp.

 

 

I'd like to see your progress as you go, protostar88. but as far as it goes around here, it's a good idea not to mix business with kitbashing. I understand you want to drum up some business for your skills, but this particular forum isn't the place for it. The aforementioned endcap does that trick nicely.

 

On a more positive note, you have some promising beginnings to those kitbashes. Ifyou need any help or advice, just stop by the idiot's guide to kibashing at the top of the page. Posted there are tips, techniques, tricks, and we also have folks post their questions and problems that they are encountering with there projects.

 

I wish you the best of luck in your projects, and look forward eagerly to updates.
