    Hi Everyone,

    Over the past 6 months i have been trying my hand at customising deluxe TF's and i have had some success. The best advice i have had is to keep practising and try things out on figures that if i get things wrong it doesn't matter, so that exactly what i have been doing, so behold my 3rd custom Cliffjumper!

    I really did not like the 2006 hasbro version of this figure due to all the grey flames and other detail so what the hell I would make my own. Cliffjumper started off as a old Bumblebee that I brought off ebay for next to nothing and came with some old heads, the one i chose was the closest to Cliffjumper and at this time did not want to pay top price for a renderform one whilst I am still learning.

    I hope you enjoy the photos and I am always happy to read your comments, any advice on what my next project should be would be appreciated

    Cliffjumper just finished

    That is one excellent Cliffjumper! Great job! I really dig the black ground effects on him, they really set off red well.

    Looks great... but... have you mistransformed Cliffjumper and Goldbug? It looks like their backpacks haven't been locked down by flipping up the trailer hitch.

    Yeah they were rushed into the pose but hopefully they were good enough for a quick comparison
