Okay folks, this has been in the works for a while and I apologize for the delays (life, work, people driving me up the wall). But as promised, here's the new topic, replete with photos. Enjoy; a second batch will be posted in a bit: (Yes, he has a splotch on his face; no, I'm not gonna fix it). More pics to come, but frankly, as much as I loved this project, I need to call it a day and close the door on it. The original build thread: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/998990-mp-01-modifications.html Stay tuned for the second batch...
This was a really fun project to follow and the results speak for themselves. I can't wait to see what you have next in store, JackKnife. You can bet I'll "stay tuned"!
amazing job jackknife! amazing job. the fact that the entire trailer is scratchbuilt just blows my mind.
Thanks folks! Seali Me: Yeah, the alt mode on Optimus was really bugging me as well. I wanted it to at least approach MP-10's with some believability. Char Leigh: Roller really came out better than I could have hoped for! I always felt he should have been a full-fledged transformer. The guns also make him a force to be reckoned with (just ask Rumble ). LBH, AMD098 and DJW107PRIME: Thanks guys! I wanted the trailer to meet certain specs, but being roughly 10 years old (the trailer was started after I first got MP-01), I had to rework it. Much of the previous work was just sub-par and I wanted it to be on the same level as Prime. And this has been an awesome project to share with everyone here; I hope it helps other kitbashers and customizers with their stuff. I'll try to have the next batch of pics up in a bit; it may take a day or two. Stay tuned folks: more Primey goodness coming!
