It's got an ever-so-slight case of yellowing around the leg area, and it could use a good cleaning up, but otherwise it's in good shape. It'll look much better once I'm finished, and give it a good paint job to bring out the details (assuming I don't scrap it in the process).

My other one looks much better, though.

hardware stores should have the larger sized hinges and joints suitable for fort max.
if the joint can hold a window, it can definitely hold on fort max.

If we're thinking of the same one, his was a custom Fortress Maximus made out of Cybertron Metroplex (I think), whereas mine is using the actual G1 figure of Fortress Maximus.

F_R's definitely looks a lot more sleek and dynamic though. In the end, even if I'm successful, it'll still be a brick. Just an articulated brick, lol.

Got to give it to you man.
You have guts.
I'm in shock seeing one of Fort Max's arms off of his main body but at the same time I'm looking forward to seeing this massive figure evolve in to a fully articulated robot.

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

I wished I had payton's expendable cash for TFs.

Past the point of no return now. I'll try to look for some good hinges today, won't have much time to work on it after today because we have family coming up for the weekend. So, it may be next week before I get to work on it some more.

I'm still going to sand down the edges so it turns more smoothly, but this basically shows the range of motion it'll have.
