UPDATE ON PAGE 3: 8/12

Here is the beginning of my first "posted" custom. Spent all day kitbashing the hell outta various bits (some you may recognize).

This will be fully repainted and weathered in the next few days and hopefully you guys will like it.

 

I like it - does it transform?

 

I approve! This is awesome, can't wait to see how it turns out. The legs on this figure ruin the whole toy for me. I'd love to see something that converts from weapons on the vehicle to leg kibble on the robot..

 

Thanks, it does indeed still transform.

I'm glad! It was initially a parts-former but you have given me a great idea, credit is due ^_^.

 

Hey, if it turns out well and you're up for it, I'll commission a set from you.  

 

Same here!! I would love to have it no wait wait I got to have it. Valmont2636 you did what i was thinking of doin. I jus didnt know how to do it yet. You beat me to it!!!

 

Nicely done.

 

Oh, yeah, I HAVE to see where this goes...might have to buy him if the issue of the legs can be fixed...wonder if I could mod him into earth mode...

 

This makes that figure a must buy for me!!! what parts of what figures did you use?

 

that be mighty interesting~
would be nice to be able to save this figure and make it a keeper. XD

 

I'm not entirely sure I'll be able to do a commish but we'll see ^_~

oh yeah! first!  

Thank you.

Cant say, my life depends on it....lol j/k I used RtS Jazz's door speakers for the bulk, 2007 Voyager Starscreams rear vertical stabilizers for the panels that hide the larger speakers and finally two random bits for the cylinders.

I'm nowhere near finished, I still have to add the three "tail light" bits to the addons.

 

This looks very promising. Just a quick and friendly note: Aside from being skinny, the legs on this mold are also short. If you can, you might want to consider a way to make them long enough to be proportionate to his upper torso. I was planning on modifying his legs a while ago but didn't know where to start. I'm really looking forward to seeing how yours will turn out.

 

I like the look of this.

 

I agree that it might look better if the legs were a bit longer. I just got the figure myself. I'll have to look and see what can be done.

 

Yeah I havent figured the solution to that one yet.

 

any chance of making casts of these for the rest of us? i was planning on buying jazz but the leg design really irked me but you fixed that detail... so how about it?

 

Currently I have no plans to make cast of these but I am considering it...share the wealth as they say  .

 

I'd be down to help out, if you need it. I've got the materials and experience.  

 

And I have none lol...I'm getting some painting materials tonight to start on the repaint and after I completely finish that i'll give you a PM and see what we can come up with.

 

Right on   If this isn't something you do a lot, then you should be proud, dude. You've already made significant improvements to this toy with minimal modification, and everything already looks very clean at this point.
