    CW Menasor Head/Neck Mod & custom lower shield

    Hello
    Well was sitting bored to death and since I'm waiting for my other Menasor limbs to arrive. I was looking at Motormaster and wondered. What can I do to make the neck look better and what can I do to for the space under chest. Here goes.

    1st. For the neck.
    1 front end roof from g1 Scamper with a hole drilled just enought to snap in place. The front of neck aligns very nicely, I just forgot for pics. You have to remove the head for it to work then snap in place. File just enough that you can lower it just enough and also when in robot mode it will disappear without issues. It's permanent and does not need to be removed for transformation.


    2nd.
    I took scamper from Generations Metroplex snapped him inside the chest of Menasor and closed the door. As you can see it looks very nice and fills in the gaps of lower abdomen.
    I plan to pick up an extra one so that I can paint it to match. The blue almost matches it but I want it perfect. Anyway. These are my mods that I came up today with.
    Hope pictures show up.

    added pics of how it was cut and mounted. I think it improves the figure a ton. if you take design and make money, send me some of hat green please. lol

    created/modified lower shield thingy. to fill stomach area, see pics, the loaded sideways, hate that, anyway, looks much better. will spray paint though, looks better that way.


    Enjoy.

    Combiner wars Menasor Head Mod

    I'm about to do this. This is currently photoshop since I could only align one side. Anyway. This will be completed hopefully tomorrow. Have to do some filing and glueing a little putty. Etc. but I think it will look nice. Haven't decided to move it forward or have the ears sit back. But I'll know once sits sized and fitted.
    I'll tell ya what fits perfect for these when completed.

    Menasor ear Horns. My way.

    Ok. Before I start. The one needs minor angle fixed. I'll do that tomorrow. I'm beat. Wow. Never knew how hard it is just to do simple mods. Wow.
    Anyway. This is what is came out like. I'll be using putty for edges and a stronger glue to bond it together. I like it. This is my take on horns.

    lower shield

    this fills stomach area. lots of filing, cutting bruises, cuts, more cuts, sliced fingers, and final produt minus paint job.

    I was thinking of filling it up as well with something. Never thought using scamper.

    Awesome.

    Decided I hate the CW Sword so I went for it. Mixed up some putty. Let it harden and sanded and painted to I can see where I needed to sand more. Still WIP so bare with me. Here is what it looks like. These are all my mods so far. Like I said. Still working on it. I like the size overall. Btw. It comes apart and becomes laser beak. The handle portion. My crazy design.
