All accessories will be made from 22 gauge steel. Welded and filled here in this pic. It still needs the boosters and upper fins

 

 

The cockpit is a single seater using parts from the Rhino Rig toy of M.A.S.K. I'm too lazy to mold a plexiglass visor so I'm just using the steel cutout.

 

 

 

Here's the cut down of the Prime Masterpiece chest. It looks like a total POS at this point.

 

 

 

The only product on the face of the Earth that can accomplish this project is 3M's Panel Bond adhesive. We use it in the Autobody bizz to glue roofs and panels on.

 

 

 

Here's the extra parts I made for the arm swing transformation. It will be clear what I mean later. You can see I glued Primes grill onto the upper part of the chest. It will hinge the front of the plane.

 

 

 

 

Here's the assembled upper body.

 

 

 

Here's the assembled pic.  Still needs a Blotload of molding on the upper arms, knees, waiste, head, and side leg armor.

Transformation sequence

 

 

 

The head turns around before flipping over. It buries the head further into the chest to allow cutting down the flippy thing.

 

 

 

Here you can see why the original grill assembly was used. It allows this section to rotate as well as hinge.

 

 

 

...and flips the other way for arm #2 to pass.

 

 

 

Here's the plane mode without accessories

 

 

 

Here's all the crap added on.

 

 

 

Anywho, here's a comparison shot for the bot mode

Wow!  That's a crazy amount of work.  I can't wait to see it completed.

 

I really like the fact you made the chest split and fold to the sides of the jet mode.  Seeing other Skyfire customs not do that always bugged me. 

I'll definitely be interested to see more pics of this in its' advanced stages. Nice!

wow.... thats great work man, very creative as well....Cant wait till I can see more of the progress of this peice as it comes along... this might even rivel Anemis's MP Megatron to a point..

Looks awsome so far. Very inovative. :thumb

 

The cockpit looks amazing and Rhino's dash panel fits seamlessly in place.

 

Can't wait to this project in it's completion stages.

SWEETNESS!!

Proof that greatness can be achieved in the auto repair industry. :thumb

Have you had a chance to look at this?

Looking slick man, real slick.
