    Thanks! I can't take credit for choosing the body tho. The current owner chose the mold.

    Eh, I don't think it'd really work for the GT. First, the knee would be un-usable, plus, I think the back of the leg just plain old doesnt look that great.

    I'd love to get into recasting and stuff...but I just don't feel like I have the time to make it good, you know.

    And thanks everyone else for the compliments!

    Sideswipe as a Ford GT?! But of course, engine in the back, similar front. Head sculpt makes all the difference, nice work brother, I super dig!!

    Old thread, but still some damn fine work. And I'm a huge fan of the Alternator's line! There hasn't been a tformer line as good since.

    I don't know. Odd to make a comment such as this on an old thread and not mention the glorious craftsmanship :crazy: 
    Definitely agree. Great Swipe headsculpt as well as paintwork.

    Wow!Yeah,I kick myself in the arse everytime wondering why I sold the only Smokescreen Alternator I ever owned on ebay.Those things are some of the coolest Transformers ever made.This is a nice Sideswipe.Much better than that DOTM deluxe class one I'm using for spare parts.

    Well old post… but new for me. I just saw it last night… so you know what they say… “When something gets old enough, it becomes new again!” But it is a neat take on the Mirage mold. That’s why I even said anything!

    Well I don’t know if you’re interested, but I do have a 100% complete but loose Alt. Sideswipe if interested. The figure has been played with, but is in good shape… has his gun & instructions. I can put him up on eBay if you like.

    The thread bump is fine :)  We've PAGES of great work here that is always going to be new to someone. As long as the post(s) are relevant, etc., it's fine :) 

    Move the transactions to pms, though :wink:
