Well, that's just all in the bashers opinion...Some of us like a clean version, some of us like it banged up some..I think either or really works for all of these figures.

 

 

As always, very excellent work Wheeljack--I can't wait to see him finished.

Hells yeah! This is one of those jobs that I'd imagined doing as soon as I got my Classic BB open. But even if I had managed to do exactly how I'd imagined it, It would've maybe been half as awesome as this!

Honestly? I think it'd work better with a weathered, paint faded, rust-spotty look. I think it would fit more than a 'show quality' look. How many pristine VW bugs do you see driving around out there? :tftongue

 

fair enough. didn't change my mind though. ;)

 

Sami, thanks mang.

 

Tom Servo, :redface get outta here with that half as good jive. ;)

 

almost done folks. quick update. thanks for lookin'

Mmm-mm, that is nice. That's just pure G1 goodness! :clap

Inspiring work! My own kit is on the way, and thanks for the close-ups of the folding doors in particular. That will also come in handy on another project I'm working on. To be honest, I wasn't going to bother folding the back in, for stability, but it looks good.

 

Clean paint job looks good, too. Bumblebee wasn't tarnished in G1, why should a classic Bumblebee be? It's getting to the point, anyway, where the only VWs left on the roads are the ones that have been lovingly maintained. (I was a VW geek for many years; if you discount the engine, my '72 microbus is pretty close to mint.)

Please let him meet MP01. they belong to each other, in non homosexual kinda way.

...and how many VWs you see turn into robots. I don't think any customizer should be basing design on reality. lol. ;)

It's a Wheeljack, actually. I'm re-doing Energon Downshift, and the biggest part of that bash is the Cl. Bumblebee-style legs. I've used E. Barricade's legs as the skeleton as Bumblebee's were too narrow. It's a long way from completed!
