    This looks like is should be good!:thumbs2:  Also, interesting choice on using Energon Prowl rather than the usual Classics Mirage mold for Dragstrip, can't wait to see what you do with him!

    So here is the work that has been done to Dead End up to now. New chest and head. Still have to finish the other side of the chest and do some carving for vents, rivets, eye candy...

    Yeah. I had thought about it. But what would make good filler where the bridge of the nose was? Hot glue?

    I am also going to fill the horizontal lines and smooth them out.

    looking good! I think an Energon Menasor will be blocky and fun (and i mean that in a good way, the Energon toys are a TON of fun). I can't wait to see more!!

    I am really liking where you're going with this piece. I think this approach is very interesting. I would like to suggest that you attach all of your images. Thanks, and keep up the good work :thumb

    Not much in the way of progress. Finally had a chance to make molds and start casting. Making the Omega Supreme halves more symmetrical. Hopefully I can find some free time this weekend to finish some things off.

    I can't either :) 

    I'm hoping to be able to put in a lot of work on it this weekend and get some better pictures.

    Does anyone have pictures of TFMaster's first RID Menasor? Mainly the feet. I want to throw an homage to a few of his design elements in this one.

    Seriously though, I just need to run by target and hopefully pick up a superion or bruticus for some more joints and connections. :)
