Been a long time since I started this guy. I have been touching him up a bit though, so I thought I'd share With Kaiyodo Matrix With Sterling Matrix WIP List of things I've done to him: Reworked head (trimmed and added styrene) Sanded chest smooth added styrene to lenghten chest Hands from Cliffjumper Sculpted wrists Cut windows off doors and glued to roof Trimmed hinge so roof could open Swapped out lots of parts from blue version of the mold Drilled and added pipes from clocker to legs Added third triangle to each shin guard Cut out spike area of fin (behind his head) Cut out Matrix cavity (Still need to work out chest hinge)
yup. I'm still working on the car mode hood (filling/smoothing the air vents) but I can snap a pic anyways.
Cool. The new chest and the paint apps definitely scream Rodimus now. Hadn't noticed how effective a repaint to said character would be. Good stuff.
agreed ... sold my custom, year or more later I regret... and not long ago I acquired the parts etc. 2 replicate my previous
I've always enjoyed when artists dust off a project and return to it with a new perspective and new additions to them. Great work here
Added a couple more pics to show that yes it still transforms and what the hinge mod does. still working on the hood and maybe fin areas. Oh, and no I don't plan on making a trailer for this guy. I think Masterpiece did that in a way I will never be able to compare, so I'm leaving this guy Hot Rod. He'll be my classics scale HR until a bootlegger shrinks down the masterpiece one.
