    Very nice work. Is there any way to make it so you can see all the bots thru the window? Maybe moving the artwork a little?

    Awesome....how can I order one??

    Quick suggestion - shouldnt the purple boxes be behind all the box art of the figs instead of the plain gray towards the window??

    yes i think i can move a little so all 3 bots can be seen, this is just my 1st test, there are still a few things to change, i want to add the yellow fading circle, under the reflector boxart as some minor details like the hole in the "O" and "R" is not black, and the tech specs (that canot be seen in this picture) are not Red, but black & white

    hi! for now i am not selling, but in the near future maybe.
    i am a huge G1 collector, and kinda picky, i only collect boxed g1 transformers, and before starting this project i looked to all 4 the types of boxes depending on the year of release.
    Reflector was a season 1 character, so i tried to make the box look just like the other season 1 toys

    you can check in the attachment how the grey is in the original season 1 boxes.

    maybe the grey area could be trimed by half, it seem big compared to other g1 boxes

    I guess so....the only problem is I think the grey blends in with the bots taking away a bit from the art.

    Still looks awesome. I too agree to move the box art to the edge so you can see more of all 3 bots.

    Regardless, AWESOME!!!

    How do you custom make the styrofoam like that? This looks very good BTW.
