wow, that looks really cool, I like how you've retained the original modes too. Nice work on this.

Man looking sweet think I could convince you to commission one

 

thanks, I'm making two of them actually but I think I'm gonna put it up for auction to try to make some money back on this.

I will give you a step by step if you would like. :)

 

That's actually really nice, thus far. I had my doubts, but it's coming along very well. The problem with the Mirage mold is that it's a total pinhead - I dunno how much headroom you actually have with this one, but I would suggest using the head off of a Basic... Brushguard, with the right paint apps, might work, although his head has that tire-detail on the back. Alternately, if your Big Lots has those oversized LOC knockoffs, try the head off of Hot Shot.

 

Incidentally, are you going to straight repaint Rodimus into Sideswipe, or are you planning another reshell? I'd almost consider doing Sideswipe up as a Viper or similar, as a callout to his Alternator form.

Thanks for the head suggestions. keep them coming you think of any. about sideswipe, I don't like vipers. I'm gonna try to reshell rodimus but It really depends on if the model shell will fit over rod's. let me know what you decide on.

Thanks.

 

 

 

And thanks everyone for your input and compliments. keeps me motivated. like I don't want to let you down.

have you been able to take pics of the wj waist mod yet?

Excellent work. Let us know if you eBay that so we can all fight over it :thumb

Strong work here.

Reshells and kitbashes are always appreciated here.

quick update.

 

he now has feet that fold in and out.

 

his torso area is now connected to his waist and legs. and might I add fully transformable

 

his hatchback sports removable rocket launchers with rockets(not pictured)

 

he also has side exhaust pipes that clip to his legs in alt mode.

 

feet and rockets came from cheapo walmart fake transformer toys.

 

 

Looking sweet, I'm watching this with much anticipation

Wow. So far this is solid, solid, solid. Keep it up.

 

What are you going to do as far as filling in the chest of the robot mode? It looks like the arms and the knees store up in there, leaving an empty cavity...
