part 3

 

Looks great. Look forward to the video.

 

sum comparison between the mod side and normal side how it shortened and folds

 

il make the video at the end wen the paint and hands are dun sins il be filming during the making and then uploaded wen all the mods are dun. il keep u up dated here as the other part sum in just waiting for the shipment of hands to cum in if you want a look at the hand so far heres the lingk for the Hobby Base Hands 1/144 scaled im looking at 1/144 Mechanical Hand 144 Square G Gray by Hobby Base | HobbyLink Japan

 

Now that is a pretty cool mod 

I like how you have part of the cab wrap around the wheel itself, nice. And the hinges keep it fixed in place, so there's no spinning this way or that? Awesome!

 

lock for side panil

locking the side panel back into place for truck mode. its weary sturdy no sine of wobbling or looseness

 

yes its nice and secure only problem i have now is that the super glue i used was old and not sticking all that well but i will get epoxy tomorrow to get glued securely and wash off all the super glue marks the final mode i will do on youtube as a tutorial witch will include the back pak and the hand mod that's il do wen my shipment arrives.   thanx for the support

 

Nice! I like it very much

 

thanx  

 

re glued the parts with epoxy i messed up by trying to wash of the super glue with thinners witch made it worse (that's the wight you see on the panels) nutting a good paint job cant fixed and sand paper here are sum pix of the figure with the mod dun to one side and as you can see truck mode is not affected by the mod

 

Very nice. A bit messy, but nice.

 

thanx i know my fault for trying to wash of super glue with thinners the other side sud cum out better im hoping a good paint job will help the damaged panel give it sum battle damaged look

 

Dang, that really smart of you to do that! I've been trying to figure out a way to fix the backpack on my Optimus but I just couldn't figure out what to do. Do you mind if I try to copy this mod from you on my own Optimus?

 

looking good, think i might try this myself for my Ultra Magnus Repaint i got plan if you don't mind. i like how the smoke stacks sit higher, gives him a more like a two cannons mounted to his back instead of just random kibble... great idea, can't wait to see how it turns out

 

go right a head   il mack the tutorial video of it today and upload it to youtube and put the link here because there's alot i did witch isn't noticeable in the pixs like how to get the first jont to work and fold like shown here http://crashelements.deviantart.com/#/d56vest sorry for sum reasons tfw2005 dint want me to upload the pix here wen you do the mod upload your pix here and let us see how it gose glade i cud help   if you have eny qs or get stuck just messages me

no i dont go right ahead   still going to do a hand mod like with full posibal hands with the Hobby Base Hands 1/144 scaled 1/144 Mechanical Hand 144 Square G Gray by Hobby Base | HobbyLink Japan and a repaint wich will look sum thing like this same metallic paint look. "i did not do that paint job i found it on the forms by Zildjian sum time back if you want to check that mod out http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/602886-transformers-prime-first-edition-voyager-optimus-prime.html"

This looks really good.

By the way, how did you get the smoke stacks out of their wedges? I had a very hard time getting mine to come out--I ended up cutting them off
