    So after seeing my buddy spoonmans awesome mods to his BB I wanted to give it a shot on mine.I really liked the way he made the figure look more like BB by removing the hood pieces and doors in bot mode but still having an updated look

    What I went with was to hinge the hood pieces to the windshield so in bot mode they fold up behind the glass.I know,nothing major but I think that's the beauty of this.It's super simple and no painting required.Now I'm trying to figure out how to remove the doors from the arms without parts-forming.

    I didn't plan on posting this but after spoonman telling me I should and the fact I haven't posted anything in a while,here he is!!!!!!

    Thanks for looking.

    That looks great...nice and simple. As I have little experience doing something like this, can I ask how you did it? Did you make the hinges or something?
