    One of the things has/tak did in the generations line that I really like is the updates to the pretenders making the shells and bots the same...keeping with that idea and staying in a deluxe size class is an interesting challenge that I am glad to accept.

    As I have several of these planned or in the works I will be putting all the WiP info in this thread.

    So let's get this show started shall we...

    ...up first is Generations Longtooth
    Base mold: BH Bulkhead...never really liked this mold much head and elbows made it one of My least favorites from this line

    Planned mods: rebuild/replace arms, a new head, complete repaint.

    First new hand installed

    Sculpted the new face for Long Tooth

    Build complete...ready for paint...unfortunately it's raining

    ...stay tuned for more of The Transformers

    I may just replace the hands...ball socket hands would be so much better on this mold

    Have you got your camera in macro mode? Its handy for close ups on small objects and maybe photograph the head on a small jar, so you're not trying to use a camera one handed.
