Truly awesome! A really original take on the alt/BT kitbash, and Grim is the perfect choice for some metal-munching upgrades...very nice work indeed.
Looking good. I say go for the BD. It would help complete it IMO. None-the-less, still, some impressive work here.
I agree on everything. Weathered look, all though not sure about the dirty effect. His weapons need to be upgraded with guns taken from models. And, I think you should add some rocket launchers or something like that for his shoulder or whatever. Something this bad-ass needs as much fire power as he can carry! However, I don't think this suits Grimlock, I think this needs to be a Decepticon character.
Finding guns in scale for this will be a hassle. That is one of the things that slow the progress of me strating my project. Closest scale I found was 1/35th I think. I tooo thought of Missles and such. But that scale can be of much more.
Im going to say heavy on the weathering light on the battle damage. This is looking great and i cant wait to see it finished. Now for some other ideas do prime as machine gun joe's ram and pick up an eps figure to go with it. then do Megatron as the dreadnaught. Well now that thats said im sure you have your handsfull.
Due to the snow storm on the east coast,I put on weathering and I have pictures done, I post them today.
