    Perfect, now he looks like he could kick City Commanders ass, UK Marvel style.

    I was thinking something even beefier and more like shoulder armor:

    Hope you dont mind the quick and dirty edit :)

    Thanks for the kind words, man! I'm still digging this and I'm glad everything fits great for the most part. And you're right, the design elements are great, regardless of the design issue. It still looks great as-is, but it may look even better if you tweak it some with some of the suggestions I've seen. Overall, it's your vision and project, so good luck no matter what you decide to do. I do know that if you produce the parts, limited or not, you will have people lining up to snag 'em. You could even design another type of shoulder (or two) and if costs are decent, offer the core parts (head, chest, arms, legs) and allow potential buyers to sub in the shoulder style they like best.

    As I said, good luck with it all! I really like the design and I gotta say, go blue! lol

    I so wanna recreate that classic comic cover where Galvatron is riding magnus like Seabiscuit!

    No probs dude, and thanks, you gave me a better idea of how to progress.

    Thanks bud, I was thinming of designing multiple shoulder pads, but I'll see how far I get.


    Cannon arrived today, pics up later.

    In the mean time, here the updated shoulder design.

    What do you think???

    I'm really happy with how the cannon came out. Glued in the magnet to hold it to the arm.

    Quick LED test. Although it might end up being a laser pointer.

    Cannon fits beautifully, arms are preped. Toe caps glued in place. Left leg still needs work.

    Ball jointed head with light piping.
    Started cutting up the shoulders to mod.

    Nice! That is perfect to me... everyone's mileage may vary... but the shoulders look more solid than ever.

    And I like the pointy toes you said were on the way :D

    This is beautiful! It looks an official Hasbro product, much more so than any Fansproject figures. Magnificent bro!

    Awesome work dude. I gotta say this fandom is spoiled. With 3rd party companies and guys like you, we are getting stuff we never dream of. Hell even Hasbro is putting out decent products on the shelf these days. It's a good time to be a transfan.

    *Best Galvatron Ever*
    if that were mine I'd be terrified of ruining him with one of my shoddy paintjobs. are you going to paint it yourself or source it out?

    An amazing piece of work. Seeing your 3D work in real life must be very exciting!

    Thanks! It is very satisfying.

    Thanks!

    £150 for all the rapid prototyped parts so far.

    I'm painting it myself, and crapping myself about botching it, but it's going ok so far.

    True!

    Thanks!

    Thanks! The new shoulders have been a bitch, finished one, hopefully finishing the other tonight.

    Thanks. Not much more. Hopefully!

    Took a while to find the right LEDs for the carrot of doom and have then delivered. But they're are in. Paint is still drying on the button so I've used a screw for the photos.
