...I'll get back to him when the coneheads are done....

 

ok, so I lied. I picked him up for an hour or so today. here's a quick shot in bot mode.

thanks for lookin' guys

sweet,but all the change c mirage needs imo is a more cartoon-styled head and stiffer balljoints. (i almost felt tempted to type "stiff balls")

Putting on a few pounds isn't he? Nice solution to getting the front spoiler out of the way.

What kind of putty is that?

I won't believe it! The pickiest guy in this forum thinks that all c mirage needed was a cartoon style head and stiff balls. who is this? :redface

although I think arguably mirage was one of the best, I still want him to be a little more g1 accurate. plus most of my so called kitbashed "deluxe" guys are taller than your average deluxe. If I want mirage on my shelf I have to fix 'em up. :) and I was just giving you a hard time rhinox. thanks

yeah, you like his love handles do ya? I think they'll be a little more concealed when his tires are dropped in. The spoiler is one of my proudest moments. thanks for noticing. the putty in questions is PC fahrenheit. cures in about 8-10 minutes. 3 or 4 bucks. here's a pic...

WJ, you need to try some JB weld or Super Glue plastic fusion, they are among the best.

:tflaugh okay,i deserved that response.

I just love the c mirage toy,with the exception of his loose balls,crappy weapon storage,and the fact that his vehicle front keeps detaching at the pegs. of course those are just minor complaints,i'll always have some minor complaints.(and the first two can be fixed anyway,so i really don't count those) The toy is awesomely posable,and i feel that the thin look works for his spy-personality. (imho,he should have sounded alot like bumblebee in the cartoon)

Your kitbash is coming along awesomely though,and you do seem to love the classics mirage mold alot,this is the third time you use him,right?

indeed rhinox. it is the third time I've used it. mainly because I love the way the legs fold in and how much hight they provide the figure from such a compact starting point.

f_r, I've been using JB weld actually. I use these putties as fillers when I need to bulk up an area. or I need to attach a floating part if you know what I mean about that. but what is this plastic fusion you speak of?

a bot pic for ya. this photo is actually a couple sessions outdated. :monkey

almost done. me sleep now.

THAT is totally amazing...I mean...wow man...just absolutely fracking outstanding....its like lotion for my eyeballs...

Wow.

Everytime i look at a new piece of youre work it always seems to top the last.

Trust me thats quite a feat.
