Mandingo, any chance you'd be willing to share that PDF and/or sell finished Teletran/Ark panels? My printer is just barely up to the task, so I'd love to buy something a little sturdier and larger than what I can make on my own... but I'd be absolutely thrilled just to get the image, if only to tide me over until you decide to sell the parts. ;)

 

Sure thing! I'm on vacation this week, but I'll be home Tuesday. PM me to remind me. I may start a thread for it so it's not wasting Valkfan's topic anymore. I can definitely do a high-res image set so there are variants, they make a cool desktop wallpaper too. Not really interested in selling anything at this time though, I'm busy enough with my job and freelance work as it is!

Hey Mandingo, great work on your custom Ark/Teletraan panels. If you can and do decide to reproduce them, let me know.

 

I also love the Inferno custom you've made. It's a great way to salvage the headless Rollbar.

Here's the Ark files, guys. Enjoy!

They're just JPGs since the PSD is a huge file due to all the layers. Hope this works for you, it's at 200dpi which should print on most printers and look fine.

 

It is actually just a quick test I did for taking some photos, so I apologize for the quality. Printed out though, it's really cool tiled together. I apologize to Alex Milne for using his artwork but it looked really cool dropped in as the video feed display, especially for MPs/Alt/BTs. If for some reason I ever redo these to sell through anywhere (which I don't mind doing the artwork for, I just don't feel like dealing with the order/money exchange/etc) I won't include his work.

 

The boards work best cut with an X-Acto and spray-mounted onto stiffer board, preferably foamcore or the like. The straighter the edges, the better they line up seamlessly (obviously). Also, flipping and turning helps create a wall that doesn't really look tiled. Or, enjoy a desktop.

 

Eventually I want to design a Teletraan that is as detailed and higher quality, so that someone can assemble it for display for at least Alternator scale and smaller. Meaning 3D and a detailed version based off the cartoon.

 

And if you haven't seen it yet, check this out. An animator friend of mine sent it to me, It's amazing.

Valkfan,

 

I replied to your email you sent me months ago, but perhaps you're not using the same email.

 

I recently moved to California from NC, and in some (hasn't happened in 30 years, apparently) freak accident, my entire shipment caught fire and I lost everything I own... Including my entire 27+ set of Alternators and customs, and my entire complete MP line.

 

Sadly, I lost the customs which are the hardest to replace. Insurance and time scouring eBay and the like can recover most other stuff, but I was wondering if there was any way you were still producing the Ratchet, Ironhide, and Sideswipe heads, or would be so kind as to run me at least a full set of them?

 

I'll gladly pay, I just have to restart my collection and sadly my 2 favorite alternators are now gone, along with everything else I own.

No worries MR, they're all still available! I did get your email but I've been extremely busy as of late. I'll email you shortly.

Valkfan,

 

I JUST bought another white KO Jeep, Nemesis Prime and Alternator Optimus, so as soon as you're done with recasting the Stunticon set, I'll gladly buy the 4 from you and a second set of the Ratchet/Ironhide heads.

 

They can be rebuilt. :)

Valkfan, you'd mentioned a few months back that you were redoing the Ratchet head...

 

Any new pics?
