Hey Gang, Here is my take on the now very pouplar Classics styled Soundwave and Laserbeak. Look for them on Ebay tonight!! The details: Sounwave: Painted to better represent his G1 cartoon image with a realistic touch Includes Blaster and shoulder cannon Laser fire "blast" effect can be inserted into cannon barrel Red LED fitted into visor Retro styled vinyl Decepticon decals added Painted in durable acrylics, enamels, and lacquers, then sealed for protection Laserbeak: Fully transformable from Radar/communications array to condor mode Yellow LED fitted into head Balljointed shoulders, hinged mid wings Balljointed neck, hinged base and mid neck Can use "blast" effect as a chest mount for Laserbeak for eject poses Painted in durable acrylics, enamels, and lacquers, then sealed for protection Now for the pics!:
love the blast effect and lazerbeaks eyes, soundwaves seem alittle dim though, may just be the pics though. good job man,
Nicely done, big hank. I like Laserbeak when he becomes a radar/communications array was pretty ingenius and whomever gets him on ebay is going to be one lucky S.O.B.
Probably the best Perceptor->Soundwave custom I've seen. I like how Laserbeak turns into the dish and goes on top of the vehicle.
man fitting those led/smd in that small space in LB head ,thats insane !! do u have nanodwarfs working for ya ?
Thanks! The LED does look dim in the pics, but looks fine in person. I think I'll reshoot a few pics of the face closer up. I removed the blue visor plastic and filled it in with clear hot glue backlit with a red LED and lightly painted over in red and clear red. LOL, probably my favorite part of this custom, and a totally last minute idea. It literally took me a half hour from conception to completion/painted. I like the blasting out of his chest ejecting poses! Thanks! I wanted to have Laserbeak be more than just an accessoriy like he has been in the past. He needed to interact with Soundwave better. I think I pulled it off well! Thank you guys! Not sure I'll do that, but I will make a short video of his transformation and narrate what I did to him. That should help you make your own. Thanks man! I won the blue wibbon! I won the blue wibbon! No, and I have giant hands, lol. It can be frustrating at times, but with Soundwave's visor lit up...I.....had...no.........choice......ADD...........A.D.D....
Sorry to bump guys, but here's a few new pics and a video demo for Laserbeak. Might help anyone who wants to build one, enjoy! VIDEO LINK: http://youtu.be/z5O9S77f4IY
