Calloway Customs Marlboor head project.

I would love to have this set for my extra Wheeljack, but I have no idea how to order one.

Well I got my Auto Assembly 2012 non-attendee package in the mail yesterday. Nice set of goodies (including a bunch postcards, lithos, comics and a signed magazine) but the original reason why I ordered was for the Marlboor head. I got the Bronze package, so it was the painted head only no stickers (already had a set of repro Marlboor stickers) that came in a plastic baggie - no cool packaging like the Gold level got.

You can tell is a shapeways product, a little grainy but I'm glad to be able to upgrade my custom. Instead of silver the face on mine was painted a light titanium gold-ish color. Oh and the shoulder launchers are from sunlink's shapeways store.

Very nice. Did you make those labels yourself?

Thanks! I repainted the face and visor with a bit of chrome silver since I took that picture above.

I got the stickers off ebay, just do a search for "Marlboor" and they will pop up. Like the labels from the Gold and Silver Auto Assembly sets they are not pre-cut, so you'll have to go at them with scissors. Also, they are meant for G1 Wheeljack so not all of the stickers will be used.

Looking good, glad to see some finished products. Out of all the ones we sold, I only know of four people who finished their customs.

My wheeljack is currently sitting in some rubbing alcohol. Getting it painted tomorrow with any luck (first attempt at painting didn't go well, bloody flies were in the garage disturbing the dust by the light and ruined the paintwork as a result.)

Looking forward to having him put together and on the shelf at last. struggling to think of something to call him though. Maybe Blow-out?

It just sounds too close to the sponsor name though for my liking, Burnout or something would sound better to me on my shelf.

Here's my WIP version
