G1 Battle Warn Metroplex (metroplex V2.0

thielmj · 01-22-2012, 12:05 PM

This was my first commision that was really anything worth noting.
The commisioner asked for a for a G1 Articulated metroplex. He requested it stay fairly G1 show.comic accurate, but also well articulated and with some weathering/battle wear. This was my first attempt and battle wear and weathering so it turned out okay. Then was given custom read striping and the city helicopter pad was done with car vinyl decaling material. As well as new attempt at the light windows for the skyscrapers using a more HQ vinyl

Articulation includes
no head cause i wanted to keep the gimick
rotation at the shoulder
in and out just below the shoulder
elbow, rotation below the elbow,
primus hands
waist rotation
in and out/forward and back at the the hip
rotation just above the knee
knee bend
ball jointed feet
Robot Mode

Very cool, I like how you gave him more articulation with keeping the over all look of the original design. Well done sir!

I like the legs, very well done, but the arms need to retract somehow for city mode

this is absolutely badass. really like how you kept the thighs of the original but added new knees. BTW, not to knitpick, but "warn" should be "worn" unless you did it that way on purpose

Nope that was definately a spelling screw up by me, Mods if you see this please correct the full thread title.
