Well, here’s my repainted Tuner Mudflap. Since Mudflap looked more like G1 Skids with the "door backpack" and such, I repainted him into ROTF Autobot Crosscut! Now, I know the paint work's sloppy, I know. But it was and is my first full repaint, so it's special. The Autobot insignia is on the hood, just like the G1 toy. Maybe if I feel like it, I'll fix up the paint job somewhere down the line. Maybe... I'll see if I can get better pictures, and if I do, I'll post 'em. Anyway, Comments & Criticism are welcome!
That paint looks pretty good. However, I would give him a different head. He just looks like Mudflap in alternate colors.
Hm.... I do have a spare Jazz.... Somewhere.... I do think I'll put a different head on him.. EDIT: In fact, call this project unfinished. I'm working on him now...
Uh.... Already switched some of the parts from Skids. Weird.... By "missile storage thing", Do you mean where you put the missile in vehicle mode? Because I see no problem with it being there. I only have a problem when the missile is actually in storage.
well, it can take care of the "chest whiskers" it haves,and you can give it a less hunchback look to him.
I really like this one! Congrats on your first custom! I'm really glad that you took on the "Tuner Mudflap Loves You" challenge I hope you had a LOT of fun with this and that you continue doing more! MOAR!! I think if you give this guy a different head, you're gonna have a totally rockin' Crosscut! I certainly think this was a cool route to go for this one! GREAT work
Thanks SQ7! I think I might be going with the Jazz head..... with some mods of course. But in all honestly.... I might go back to Wal-Mart and get another Tuner Mudflap to keep..
*whistles* so,what did i miss with this custom,well may i suggest something else ? well remember that crosscut came with one of these fancy scooters?,maybe you can spruce up a transformable scooter gun thing out of something,it can plug in on the back of the vehicle mode.
Genius use of the mold, I love how the "end" result came out. I see bringing up the need for an alternate head won't be neccessary since you're already considering a replacement, so I'll just agree with the Jazz head being a good choice. G1 Crosscut's head looked a little like Optimus Prime's head to me, but a properly painted Jazz head should really make that custom look awesome.
Hmmm... Now when I look at it.... Does the Jazz head even have to be modded? Also MrSoundmeister, I know about the scooter, but I probably won't include it unless I find something..
hmmm,well yeah modding it would be a good idea,maybe try to make it as close as the original's head design. and about the scooter thing,how bout using a minicon or a legends arcee or something?
