    FINISHED! Update Pege 3


    Started with the CW helicopter mold. I used parts from a Bionicle for the joining from the fairing to the main body.
    The engine parts, seat, and fairing came from Road Pig, the back tire assembly came from Energon Arcee, trunk came from Cybertron Scattershot, and the saddlebags were the thruster intakes from Armada Cyclonus, and the head is from Gen. Starscream. Waiting for the right opportunity to get the wife to authorize ordering the Groovy guardian head from shapeways.
    Just a moment...

    Still need a little gap filler, and then the paint. As you can see right now he just has the first primer coat.

    Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics, it's all I have. C&C welcome.

    Dude this is fantastic! Since we can't get a proper Groove that's not from Japan, I think you've done a super job.
    Damn Hasbro for not doing this properly!

    This is amazingly brilliant though.

    Honestly, I was hoping to PM you and see how much trouble it would be to do that. I'll be watching with anticipation.

    Thank you all so much! This guy was about 2 months of planning and 1 night of actual building. I just hope that by the time I get him painted he looks as good as any of your stuff. Paint is NOT my strong suit.

    Awesome! Please keep me updated. Combiners are my main specialty, not individual figures.

    That is bad ass. I had to look really close at the pics to spot Alpha Bravo's bits in there. Excellent work.
