(Shapeways) TFP Ultimate Predaking Hey ya'll, Ive had this one on the burner for a while now outside of some random free time, I didnt think I'd ever finish him. He is the second one i've done but the other was just a repaint, this one was closer to the show and with the help of a Shapeways Head from Incedius, this one looks far better than I had hopes for. First thing I did was remove those horrible giant hinges on the back of his legs, they just were ghastly and a pain to paint. Then I filled the open chest cavity to add more details to his chest, he sure does love lights, and so do I! I removed the giant battery pack and slimmed down his calves, interior thighs, shoulder blades to give him a more natural, less heavy feel and look, yet oddly enough, he weighs quite a bit more now after all the putty I used to fill in the gaps in his tail sword, that thing alone now weighs over 13 ounces. His Alt modes Jaw now is split all the way like on the show, along with a proper nose cavity. Once I receive the rest of the parts from shapeways Ill finish the painting, not sure about the head as I do like how the stock alt dragon head looks but I will get the extended tail and hands. Ill finish giving the rest of him the orange-ish highlights and such. The areas that still need to be worked on still have a red base. The giant shoulders he had are now gone and let you see his neck, who knew he even had one! His feet can swivel freely now 360 degrees for better poses and the hands have been lightened quite a bit, the giant octagons he had in his grips are gone but I neglected to include a recent shot of his hands. Doh I removed that annoying lever that was on the left side of his alt mode's neck. His Wings now are directly on his back and hang like they do on the show, I do need to slim the wings though for a more slender look. as well as finish his back scales where the battery pack used to be.. I figure I'm about 80percent done but until I get those parts, he's comeplete, if that makes sense ;P So much left to do, what do ya'll think?
Awesomely wicked! How'd the wings attach now that the battery pack is gone? And nice paint on the head there This needs it's own thread!
That means a lot Incedius thanks =) and I fasted the wings with two small screws just below the other screws that hold the dragon head on. I cut away all the excess plastic on the round parts of the wings and made them as flat as possible before mounting. That battery pack and the hinges on his legs were a pain to work around so I just figured why not just chop them off!
