Hello everyone. It feels like an eternity since I have had some time to finish a kitbash and post. Today I have for you Alternate Universe Swoop. I enjoyed Making Grimlock so much that I decided to do my own take of the rest of the Dinobots. Swoop is influenced by the Fall of Cybertron game with my own flare, much like Grimlock. I liked the idea of the Dinobots originating from a team and being experimented upon. I used a Generations Scourge as the base mold with additions from Gundam model pieces. Thanks for checking it out and thoughts are welcome!

Cool idea , great paint job . It really screams Swoop . Where are the hands from ? What size are they ?
OH,man,that is cool lookin'!I love what you did with the red highlighting.I'm curious as to how you did that.Did you paint the silver first then tape off the panels surrounding those areas then paint red in?
Wow, that is fantastic. Especially the bot mode; it took me a few seconds to even realize it was the Scourge mold. Nice job!
Dude that is so freaking awesome. I cant wait to see the whole team posted together. Hurry up and finish them!!!!!!! LOL
Thank you all for the positive feedback. I hope you enjoy the rest of the Dinobots that are to come as much as Swoop. Alloy Alchemist - The hands are from a Gundam model I picked up over a year ago. I don't think I have the box anymore, otherwise I would let you know which one it was. It came with three sets of interchangeable hands which I used to create this piece. I think it was a 1/100 scale, but I might be one size smaller though. seanb47 & G60Force - Believe it or not, the red highlighting was done by hand with patience and a detail brush. I primed, then did the metallic grey and then detailed everything in. If I made a mistake I just repainted grey over anything that went over the line indentation. rodimusblack - Well the rest of the team is next on my list. I have Slag 80% painted. Both Snarl and Sludge are 90% built. So it all depends on free time. Hopefully very soon though.
Man, i LOVE this mold and LOVE the DINOBOTS, so this is PURE WIN in my books! Man do you know how to BASH homie, and your paint work is very smoooth, the red panel lining is NUTTS!! Looking forward to the rest of your Alternate Universe Dinos! Keep up the hard work!
