    This one I'm really excited about; he's completely built, but not painted yet. Just have to do some sanding, undercoating and paint over the next week or so. Meanwhile, I wanted to show him off as he is now in "patchwork" form.

    I've been wanting to do a Nosecone for awhile, and it took me this long to figure out how. It went through a couple of variations, but I really wanted it to be close to the size of the original g1 combiner limbs...
    Also, while I was halfway through the build, it occurred to me that the basic design would work well for another g1 character that I love. I've had so much fun building this one that I've decided to begin again and make him into...Guesses anyone?:)

    Twin Twist?

    Thanks for the praise, guys! I'm really happy with how he's turned out!
    And as for the guess; TwinTwist would indeed be a good choice! A little bit too close to Nosecone, though...
