    Man, I can't wait to see this project done!

    From your posts, I counted 4 cons completed. I assume you're left with 2 to go?
    I can fully understand the long time taken for such projects with work, family and all. Sometimes I wish we don't need to eat and sleep haha!

    This is a personal feeling of mine, but most of the pictures I've seen, the paint seems 'thick' and 'gunky'. Are they handpainted or airbrushed? I hope there won't be too many issues with paint rub, it being a combiner and all.

    Hayaku! hayaku!

    You're right on both counts...i have 2 more to go which is quite soon, i predict they'll be completed by end July...

    the paint job is thick because i handpainted all of them...still abit lazy with the airbrush...but i'll have to whip it out soon if the paint rub gets to outta hand...currently iz not that bad....


    jcartwork, your Devastator is complete? please share more of your pictures!! then i can have more references for improvement!! :)

    this looks great man. I know what you mean about juggling work, baby and life.. I still havent touched my devy it still needs painting (kinda afraid to mess him up, devy will be my first paint job). I have a (F_R styled) Menasor pretty much complete but no paint, a Defensor, and a Superion in the works too. Are you going to try to make any of these as well?

    congrats on finishing up your first combiner, time and patience is all you need, and if you are happy with the end result, then you did a great job. Devy looks pretty good...keep them coming:thumb

    You know, I don't think I could ever tire of seeing this style Devastator. I feared I would, but that has yet to happen. It's just so solid from a technical and visual standpoint.

    That looks pretty damn sweet!! I have all the necessary parts...

    1) RID Landfill set
    2) Energon Barricade
    3) Demolisher
    4) Cybertron Landmine
    5) Armada Unicron
    6) Cybertron Primus
    7) Supreme Starscream
    8) Neo shifter joints + Lego

    But I have a question for you. Where does Energon Landmine fit into the equation? Can you shed some light on that for me?

    Very awesome work. I have seen lots of these Devastator Customs, but I think that this is the best shade of green I have seen on him thus far.

    This is awesome! Very cool. I love the Starscream head because it's a nice updated look and I love the G1 style head. The green looks great too.

    Very good Devastator. I mean its the same type that we seen alot here, but I'm trying not to flame ya. Its that man we have alot of Devastator clones around some the same while others different, but thats just me.

    Very cool! Do the eyes actually light up with LEDs?
    I won a Supreme Starscream yesterday which was the last on my list. Can't wait to build this monster. Thanks for your help btw. A lot of other didn't aswer my pms.. :( 

    Barricade to Mixmaster cofuses me a lot. It looks like you remove the legs in alt mode and remove the cab and drum in robotmode.. Correct?

    Awesome job, man. It's really top notch!

    I sooo have to finish mine. =( I kinda wish I grabbed a head from Sculpt-bot but I'm going to try something myself first.


    I assume you meant Cybertron Landmine, right? He's the right foot.
