I know that repainting and kitbashing can be stressful.... especially when taking things apart. :tfmad

 

The only thing that I can advise (since I am not there to physically see it myself) is to ask about when you originally took the shins off - is there a slide piece missing, or did you replace all the screws? Maybe a small piece broke off during disassembly?

 

I took a tip from another fan on here - not sure who it was though... but as I take parts off I give them their own seperate bucket for the parts and screws.... that way you don't mix and match (or lose) pieces.

 

But it looks AWESOME so far Hunter - don't give up, just figure out a way to make it work again!

 

The ALTS look great too - :thumb

hunter, i had the exact same issue with the shinpads. for me it was because the screws in his leg werent tight enough. try tightening them further, and it should be ok. specifically its the middile screw in his leg, between the foot pin and the knee screw.

 

interesting to see everyones got a variation on the megs, i have more black on the legs and for the orange parts, while mazin has red.

 

ive been too damn lazy to finish mine, as SDvsRAW 07 on the 360 took away my time. all thats left is just the alt mode wings anyway

Your welcome Hunter

I want to try this out also, but I can't buy myself anything because of x-mas & my girl hates guns of all kinds so I know I wont be getting this for x-mas. So I have to wait to Jan sometime. :monkey

Very cool thread.

 

So uh why couldn't Hasbro have done that from the beginning. :roll

Awesome!

 

Can I see a front shot of the bot mode? I am curious to see how you did the chestplate... the insignia in particular. :thumb

right now the chest is repo stickered until i can find the damn purple to match, i blotched the original symbol up
