    Bumped again with the requested images of the final resin heads and some painted examples. I put a group shot of the three seekers in correct colors. I'm still working on the other three bodies, but I'll post those images as they get finished. (images are in my original post)

    Good question... TinMan, the seekers can still Transform with their new heads?

    They look very good!

    Thanks for the compliments! So far, I can get it to transform with every head EXCEPT Ramjet and Sunstorm (their heads are just too wide) - I fully expect to modify my personal figures for them so they can transform (I hate having figures that don't transform!) - but I very much wanted all their proper heads on them so that's how they worked out. Currently, you have to clip off the black plastic portion of their "high collars" in order to fit the Sunstorm, Ramjet, & Slipstream heads on. Slipstream will still transform after that. It's an easy mod too - I just clipped them with some small wire cutters.

    Got mine in and painted. They look great (except Slipstream. She just needs an overhaul. But that's not the head's fault.) I messed up on TC and SW so I had to switch their colors after I had them painted. My ONLY crit would be that Ramjet's head tilts too far back.

    Other than that, I love them.

    Wow, glad you got them and already painted them! Sorry that the ramhet heads tips back, is it loose? Or is it the size of the chin?

    Thanks again, and I'm glad you like them!

    I'm pretty sure it's the chin. Not that big of a deal, just a heads up. Thanks for these, I love them. You want me to start a feedback thread for you? I don't see one. :)

    My painted versions of the heads

    So here it is 8 months after the last post, and almost a year since the first post, but below are my painted copies of Tinman's heads. Excellent work that really help differentiate the seekers. Sunstorm is my favorite by far. And yes that is a custom Thundercracker...

    Eventually I'll get to Slipstream and possibly Ramjet. I need a break after doing 5 Tcrackers at once.

    could you do a scared or worried looking skywarp face but using the g1 style head?

    also, the heads fit in alt mode, right?
