It's been too long since I've posted here!
I bought a KO Grimlock (oddly enough, the mags and sword are from Wheeljack), and did up Soundwave. I used a laser pointer casing and made some extra pieces for his shoulder pod. It's mounted with rare-earth magnets; one in the pod, and one under the hood. The head is from Sculpt-bot, and I got some G1 Soundwave cannon tips off eBay. Being a KO, he doesn't fit together perfectly in alt mode, but I think he looks sharp in bot form. I had to grind out his rear side windows; like ALT Wheeljack, they were solid plastic with black paint, and I didn't like that look. Labels from Repolabels.
Eventually, I'll put together a gallery submission of him, with a few more pics.
Enjoy!           |

And it seems it fits together in alt mode better than you said. You can make attached images show up fullsize, no need to go elsewhere. Just right-click the attachment links in your post editor and copy, and then paste into the IMG tags. Radicons aren't limited to just Transformers. . . .

The only thing that looks a bit rough is the head but it doesn't take away from the awesomeness of your work. | I'm not happy with the head, either. I just couldn't get it as smooth as I wanted. I'm not 100% happy with the overall paint job either; there's a subtle orange-peel to it that I tried to knock down with high grit papers. This is the first time I've used automotive paints in about a decade on anything. I guess I really should invest in an airbrush if I want a glass-like finish.
Thanks for all the compliments, guys! | |
