    AAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNDDD, finally the arms work, it all folds together, the joints are tightened, the panels strengthened, the head's done, and I can paint the little blighter!!!
    The arms are made from bits of arms from three separate toys, plus balljoints from somewhere or other. Lord that was an annoying build!
    Comments and crits welcome!

    Just realized that his turret doesn't turn in alt mode; another G1 toy attribute I wasn't able to copy! DAMN! :p

    Wow duder, that is one hell of a bulky Brawl. The wip and ALT modes did not do this justice in its size, but now it is totally coming together.

    Man, and I was happy slapping an Energon port onto PCC Heavytread...but this shows true dedication.

    Hey everyone! Thought I'd give you a little sneak pic of Brawl on his way to being painted...With G! Brawl looking over the work. Can't tell if he's impressed, or worried about being replaced!
    I'm hoping to be done over the weekend...:)

    Thanks for the praise, guys! Sorry I'm running late on this one, but I thought I'd share pics of his alt mode. Bot mode still needs a few things painted up (and I had to strengthen some of the joints I built for his transformation). But I should have him done by this weekend!
    In the mean time...

    Ohhh!!! Looking really nice here.

    I agree with Smog, he is kind of cute. But I don't think I will say that to his face in Bot mode!

    AND.....I'm spent!
    Here he is folks, in all his G1 sized glory! Articulation galore, all painted in acrylics and semi-gloss clear-coat.
    As usual, it took longer than I thought to get him done, but I think he's pretty damn close to the perfect version of Brawl for my taste. Wasn't able to make the turret turn-able or put treads on his arms like the original toy, but still, I'm pretty happy with him!

    Ya know, though, maybe I should take smaller pics; you can really see all the minute imperfections that can't normally be seen to the naked eye...

    That's the down side to better digital cameras... it really shows off the details, good and bad. :) 

    But he's looking badass... real down 'n dirty. Did you cannibalize the head from a Fansproject Explorer?
    Also, how tall is he? Looks like a small deluxe... any comparison pics?
