First post update with wip pictures and witty repartee  

 

Thanks guys!

Pics up, check the first post  

My sentiments exactly!

Thanks! maybe the wip pics will help, but if not he's a great fig as is too

You can do it!

Thanks bud, I almost did it for you, but figured you'd enjoy doing it for yourself.

  was about to answer your question, but then saw you answered it yourself. I'm glad you like it!

I thought of doing it with magnets and it looked pretty cool, but in the end decided it wasn't for me but please throw a pic up, maybe your way will look better than what I thought out.

Well, commentary anyway, not sure you're as witty as you think you are...
 

 

I made a gap in the back o the leg and the clip on part slides right in, then you just move the back of the foot up to hold it




Here you can see how it works. Btw I'm not finished repainting it yet, still a lot of work to go(haven't even started on car mode) and I'm planning on making stickers for the headlights.

 

Nice, much easier than mounting magnets too! Can you post s side profile pic?

 

What I did for the hood parts is leave them attached to the bumper/shoulders, and it still transforms smoothly. Didnt need to do any modding for that, they stay on very steady. Yeah, its a bit kibbley still, but I dont mind it, not nearly as bad as the arm kibble before...

 

Cool mod!

 

Sounds Interesting, I'll have to see how that looks when I get home.

Thanks Z!

 

Btw dude, your paintwork looks great so far!

 

Sounds interesting. Could you post a picture of that?

 

maybe you could find a way to put the actuall hood on the chest
XP
cool mod anyway

 

I was hoping someone would figure this out!

Wicked Mod!!!!

2 Questions

1 Same as Above

2 Is there anyway to get his spoiler off his feet!?! LOL I find that so odd!

 

Thanks! Getting it on the chest wouldn't be the problem, making it look like the chest would be the hard part I think.

hmm not sure, lol, but I don't think so, and if you did he would just fall backwards lol!

 

I love the mod. I found that if you flip the roof over like this, you can fit it nice and snug in there and don't need to trim off those tabs-

 

too bad he part forms..but pretty cool regardless

 

Thanks, and thanks for sharing the way you did the roof. I actually tried this first, but it kept pushing the wings on mine out of position, so I went with this way for more stability. Im glad it worked for you though, less work is always good! Did you use Tekkaman blade's mod for attaching the hood to the back of his legs or did you do it a different way?
Even though I left them off purposefully since his headlights are a key part of his robot chest, I might have to do this anyway so I don't lose them   !

 

I know...  thanks!

 

I cut a slot in the upper part of the leg that you can then peg the grey "arms" from the hood kibble into. Then you have a choice to rotate the back part of the foot up or not. I did it this way because I liked the way it sort of completed the circular structure of the rim and gave it a pretty nice look from all angles.

P.S.
If you'd like,Gatchaman, I can remove my stuff from your thread and make a new one. I don't want to take away from what you've done here.

 

No way, quite the contrary, I'm glad to see all these different ideas here!

 

I haven't even received mine but I'm definitely considering this mod. Great job!

 

Maybe his spoiler part that goes underneath his feet in robot mode should be painted black.

On the inside side, so you don't have such black-white contrast, where it looks like it's not a part of his feet but like he's standing on something.

I think it would even make his feet visually a bit smaller.
