    Both can be done, Allen (SQ7). Did 'em to mine when I got it back in late '08.

    Great tutorial, Allen! (spoonman)

    Weren't there a few other mods out there to make this mold better?
    Anyone have links?

    Saw this today and fixed up old Ironhide ASAP. Did both the head and arm mods and now Ironhide's ready to stomp some Decepticon chassis.

    So with any of you guys who recently did this, did you take any in progress photos? Is there anything anyone feels that needs to be added here?

    Nearly a month later, I thought I'd pose this question again since this tutorial is on our list of "pending" tutorials to be resourced. Thoughts?

    Right, and some have said that the alt mode can be dramatically affected. It looks like a few of you guys here have done this mod. If someone could post an nice "after" photo of the alt mode, I think it would be very helpful.

    If I get a chance, I'll post my mods that I did to mine and show the bot and alt modes, Allen. Been busy with site stuff and personal stuff, but I'll try to help you (and others) out soon, so you can see what I did.

    Apparently not. I've only asked about 6 times in this thread. If anyone wants to oblige, please be my guest. (So is that 7 times?)
