Alright...I've been working on this one for two months now...and although there is a few things I have to fix, I believe it is time for a few pics.

 

I present to you, Armada, well...actually more Micron Legend Jetfire in Alternators form.

 

I used the Skids/Scion mold for this project because I beleieved it closely resembled the Armada/Micron Legend toy in both frame and shape.

 

Since he can't be a Space Shuttle, Jetfire opted to be a NASA Communications Vehicle, so at least he can still be around the Space Shuttles.

 

I have ordered a bunch of satellite dishes, and radar dishes...and one of them will be placed on the roof, and double as either the weapon, or even maybe a shield (thanks superquad).

 

I know there are probably a few rough spots, andthings I have to fix...including the driver side mirror...which i accidentally ripped off...hahaha, but a little glue will fix that.

 

This is my first time working with not only a lighter color (white), which in itself was a pain in the butt...but also my first attempt at the Skids mold...which looked easy...but soon took a turn for the more difficult, escpecially in the backpack area...hahahaha

 

Let me know what you guys think...

Jetfire with Comettor, his Minicon sidekick...

Closeup of Jetfire's head.

 

The head is basically an Alternator's Tracks head...with the face shaved off from the bottom of his nose down.

 

The top half of the head painted red...bottom half left white.

 

The faceplate is from Cybertron Optimus Prime...

Here is the vehicle mode:

 

(again, I am still waiting on a satellite dish for the roof...)

 

I was going to put the black and white stripes on the roof like the shutte mode for Armada Jetfire...but for some reason, I really like the look of the clean white...so it might stay like this...

 

Thanks to Superquad for doing all the decal research for me...which saved me some time...hahaha

 

You can also see I tinted the windows...my first and last time working with the Testors Tint Spray...which was a real pain in the @$$...

 

I purposely painted over the rear windows to make it look more like a van...and for a place to put the NASA symbol...

Looking at these pics...the quality really sucks...my good digital camera broke while maing my Armada Starscream bash...and I haven't been able to afford a better one yet...

 

The rear of Vehicle Mode...

That's very, very, very cool. I can't wait to see the radar dish attached.

oehhhhhhhhhhh that's mega Bright...............lol
