    Mixmaster, Another Devastator :)  update 11-25

    Hey Guys Just wanted to also share my take at Devastator, thanks to everyone who have shared their ideas!! Especially Ptitvite!!! But agian Thanks to everyone. This is my first custom, just wanted one to go with my masterpiece figures. Not sure how its gonna be painted, might see if someone can help me out with that portion. I suck at painting and dont have patience!!! lol

    But here is what i've got so far..

    All feedbacks and ideas are welcome.. What do you think so far??

    1- 11-20-09 Updated the arms, changed bicep part and added a hydraulic cylinder looking part.

    My only recommendation is to try to move mixmaster back a bit more if possible. you will find that when the full weight of devastator is on it there will be a tendency for it to lean back.
    Otherwise I like your take on it very much.
    How does the bot mode look?

    pretty sure i see the megamorphs hulk back there so i assume youre going with those arms. :)  you also did almost the same thing as me as far as your dumptruck, it looks liek ti worked out better for you than it did for me.

    funny thing is, ive pretty much completed my dev using the MM Hulk arms, but im learning to paint now. i recommend gettign an airbrush, if this is your first custom youre definitely going to run into this problem down the road, right?
    i recommend the airbrush.

    Yeah im actually looking for a way to brace the back of the mixmaster part. i think i might have figured it out. ill post pics soon. As far as bot mode still trying to figure that out to try to keep everything on him but more than likely it will end up a parts former. :)

    Yeah i liked the way they looked, trying to change them up a little since this is my first custom i really dont have any parts to use to add some details on the arms. If anyone has any suggestions on whats a good thing to get for parts let me know.

    Painting im gonna try but i dont have patience so i might see if some one here would like to paint it.

    looking great man, especially those arms. i love how u added the unicron hands.

    the only thing i would be worried about is the proportions. his legs seem pretty long, but i'm sure you have it figured out, so i cant wait to see an update.

    and dont worry about the 1 star rating, it's just someone who pleasures themself, downgrading someone else's work. hiding because they are too scared to tell you why they don't like the custom.
