This looks really astoundingly awesome! A perfect blending of the two molds. i can't wait to see him all painted but, then that brings up the question of if you are to paint him toon style (my vote and preference on any Swoop) or toy style? Let the arguements begin!
Epic stuff, dude! I've been working on mine now (thanks to your inspiration). I still need to dig out my G1 Swoop and scalp him for parts, then I'll share some WIP on it (already did most of the mods to the seeker mold).
Thanks bud!!!!! Glad you like him so far.Almost done!!!!! Thanks for the props.As far as the paint..........no arguments here.........TOON style!!!!!!!!! I love the toon style just a bit more because it distinguishes him a little more from the others. Well hurry up and get some pic up man lol!!!!!!!!! Thanks a lot.I try my best to make them look factory made
looking great, the voyager / ultra scale is what Im aiming at aswell. im just finishing off grimlock then starting the slow painting process. whats your mold choices for the others? or is it a secret
LOL, I should have some up by tonight, my friend! It's a bit different than yours and even though I've had an idea like this for a while, it's heavily inspired by your work (which I'm a huge fan of). The only thing I need to really work on is the head and some minor chest work like you did (not sure what head I'll use though--I may mod the Thrust head to work somehow).
Thanks!!!!! For mold choices I won't go into details just yet but I will tell you that I'll be using deluxe size bases for Snarl and Slag but they'll be bigger then deluxe sized.Grimlock will be about Voyager and Sludge will be Ultra!!!!! Just saw yours and it looks amazing!!!!!!I love it LOL thanks
You're fast becoming one of my favourites on here mate. I like your choice in bots to make others. This and slugslinger are immense. Hope your shoulder is going good too. Seán
Are there any finished pics of this guy? He's looking so promising it would be a shame if he went unfinished. Got a junker Starscream with no wings earlier today and a KO swoop and the link was made. Would like to see how others turned out before I try something so mammoth myself.
Rafe finished his and you can see it here: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/320214-classic-universe-swoop-finished.html As you know, I have one too, but mine is still a WIP. You can see mine here (check the first post for a link to updates on it also): http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/320164-swoop-wip.html Not sure if anyone else did one from the Seeker mold and a G1 Swoop (or KO).
I did see yours on the moonbase thread through googling. I think with mine I'm going to sort out the blob on the end of his beak, it's only from a KO and I'm only going to lightly sand it down to be more in line with the rest of the beak. i'm surprised we've not seen more of these, maybe there will be more when everyone gets Gen Thundercracker.
