    Looks absolutely bitchin'! I honestly think my only suggestion to make it better would be to add some weathering to the chains, b/c they seem really shiny compared to that awesome rusted paintjob.

    Thanks..... the hand is what I had to work with, and as I said before I disagree on the torso/legs, but to each his own.... and as for the face damage, he has 2 eyes:

    They have weathering as well, it is subtle.

    Ha! I actually thought about them.... however both get hidden in robot mode.... watch the transformation sequence in DOTM, the spikes magically fold up under his torso and go somewhere on his back.

    Thanks

    Thanks.... it is actually made from an actual shotgun and some zoid parts.

    Great Scott. This is great! Love the paint color selection.

    Have you considered using the rustic coppery chains from JoAnn Fabrics necklace and beads section? The ones you chose work great, but I was just curious if you found those rusty chains at the store because they could look pretty awesome and might fit better with the "motif". :) 

    amaZing!!!!

    very nice Z. Love the attention and parts that went into megs. If you can't find rusty chain, why not rust it yourself with real rust? wet it, leave it out. repeat.

    Plastic Weld

    Pixie Dust actually....

    I am checking tomorrow.... I have 2 commissions to do for leader Megs....

    Nice to see you back you criminal! ;)  Anyway, the chain is plastic so it won't rust!

    Super cool and awesome and rad.
    The real magic would be making one that looked like this that could transform.
