    Great work, the legs/feet are something I considered from the day I first owned one. I considered removing the bottom of the legs, the sections either side of the feet, to improve articulation, the hips would benefit from ball joints or ratchets with more range. But back to your work, this is amazing mate maybe add some small pop studs to the headlight sections on your new panels?

    Yeah, that's the idea craftsmith. The headlights are kind of plain right now; they're painted-in until I can work up a detailed set. I'm planning on square ones like the MP-10 has, I just need to make them up and then bore out the frames that are glued in and painted.

    Thanks ss1980; I really appreciate the compliment! :) 

    Yeah, i have some big things in mind for this custom. Also, I just broke out his custom trailer, and I need to revise/rework the Roller figure custom i made for it.

    Stay tuned folks...interesting stuff is gonna be happening soon...

    not good enough, you should have done it then...... but the 10 minutes after then was o.k I suppose, as long as you don't own a Tardis and travelled ten minutes into the future just to fool me (which is being compelled to do it now, doing it now, but hiding the fact with time travel).
    :confused: 

    Anyway looks good, but you could always nip to the future and take a finished pic and pretend that's where it is now to us lot on here. But then you would know the outcome and change things, altering how it will look when you skip forward and snap a pic......... thus creating the perfect custom paradigm loop.

    looking great so far mate.
    ignore my ramblings, I got too much whisky in my blood and blood in my whisky.

    Don't forget the ginger beer! :D 

    BTW: I've also made the decision to completely redo the trailer/combat deck, including Roller (who I made from Cybertron Clocker).

    Here's a pic of it currently, and yes, Roller has his own deck cannon:

    Stay tuned...

    Thanks, but the deck and roller are from 2006; this is crap compared to what I do now. Roller is currently disassembled and undergoing modernization.

    And yeah; the erg keyboard is so typing doesn't ruin my art hand. :D

    going to let roller/clocker be able to transform or keep him as just a vehicle?

    He can transform, and will still be able to. I just need to repaint him.
