Hey.  I just hung some new shelves and reset some of my collection.

 

I am beginning to think that my future collection shelf is going to have to be VERY big indeed.  Have a lot more in storage and the shelf is rather full. 

Here's a few more.  Some of my customs on the bottom shelf, including my very first custom.  A remake of G1 Prowl into a Metallic red Camaro...looking car. 

 

Also take note the little Robot Suit Models.  A couple in the back had feet problems and need the wall (one has no arms). 

 

And of course also on there is my 1/2 a Red Skids, named Half Arse. 

Last 3, for now. 

that is beautiful i tell ya.....im pretty impressed

Mixing Diaclone variants and customs with great creativity! I like that!!! :thumb

Thanks.  For some reason, I pictured the shelves to be bigger and able to hold more.  I was planning on putting my Alts on the lower shelf, and the upper 2 Diaclones and such...I greatly under estimated the space required. 

 

I'd like to get all the G1 variants I have lined up, boxes behind for show.  And the same for the Alts with my customs in there for added flair. 

 

Special notes. 

 

The Yellow Trailbreaker fists are repro's, hence color is off.

The Marlboor and Blue Bluestreak are custom made.

The Black Sunstreaker is also a custom junker.  Originally it was a painted white police version, but since I got a real one I painted it black.

Stepper is the Japanese remake.

 

special note, the Big Prowl is a custom paint and sticker job (by me of course) the normal sized prowl next to it is an oddity, has the shield on the hood that says DIACLONE, but the doors do not.  Takara only copy on foot. 

 

Reflector, Browning and Starscream are fakes, as is one of the Rumbles. 

 

Switchblade has 2 swords, not sure where the second one came from, but I found it in a junk pile and it works very nice with him.  Considering that the character I imagined would use his copter blades on his chest as swords. 

 

That's about all I can think of to ramble on about for now...

I did a little tinkering with my Model kits.  I bought a few at a time over the years, and then a year and 1/2 at least ago I found a lot of Diaclone model pieces, including about 4 or 5 incomplete suits like this.  As you can see I pieced one together so it has a left arm of a different color (its also a right arm) and one with none.  I decided to remove the sholder pieces and make holes in it, big enough to mount the back pack guns.  Looks pretty good, better than the no armed battle droid. 

 

Inside a couple are plastic diaclone drivers, same size as normal Headphone wearing drivers.  So for scale purposes, these are about the correct size for the G1 toys. 

 

Interesting eh? 

 

(used 1/2 a recent TF carded TF package to stand them up)

dude, diaclone magnus is the jam. 

Ahhhh, if I didn't have kids I might be able to have something like that. My 5 year old would have a field day there......

 

:tflaugh

forgot something.....

 

by the way, very impressive!
