FP Bruticus chestplate (WIP)

i started this on the friday i completed my order for the wonderful FP bruticus addon set. i took a RID bruticus chestplate and used epoxy to fill in the gaps and my dremel went to work. i am waiting on some reprolabels for the symbol. instead of having a chestplate that hung down straight off of his chest, i simply cut it high and set the bottom portion of the plate at an angle that worked w/ bruticus' "natural" contour. he looks naked w/o it. and why FP didnt make something like this is beyond me. i am currently about 50% finished. i fashioned this piece to work w/ the FP set so it does not hinder any movement or obstructs the face in anyway. the old chestpiece looked too out dated. so i revamped its look to fit in w/ the rest of this awesome piece. and yes i am using the old barricade b/c his colors are more accurate. hope you enjoy! notice how i placed vortex's arms in gestalt mode (another simple, yet effective improvement over the way it was intended).

That's genius!

i already have a g1 chest piece on mine (painted to be show accurate) but i think i may try too. it looks really good and ive done the same thing to my classics devastator. i made a modified chest piece for him and added a g1 head and propper hands. it makes a world of difference

GREAT IDEA!!! If I were getting this set I would probably go about doing something similarly.

when everyone was saying how much they hated the devastator combiner, i was laughing. i saw how he could be better. keeping one thing in mind is that i realize (for whatever reason) hasbro/takara always seems to leave a missed opportunity on most of their figs. i know this is due to time constraints and money. but some figs like energon mold classics devi/bruticus, they seem to leave you options. i mean, who really displayed ANY of the energon mold combiners like hasbro pictured? i kinda wish FP wouldve remade the other two limbs to put them on par w/ swindle and blast off. but i am happy as everyone else who was fortunate to get the bruticus set. this is their best project thus far in my opinion. i cannot wait to see what they do to classics devi as they seem to suggest in the instructions w/ the silhouette of a 3rd project. i really hope they give him a new middle piece made up of at least 2 figs.

That shits wack yo!

WORD! i know you were getting tired of me sending pics to you . i couldnt help it! glad to see you on. corn husk smoker out! lol

Ok whoa ... I need that ....step by step tutorial please!
