Hi there here are my versions of Siren and hose head, Siren is made using the Goshooter head that came with the legends Wheelie (liked this version the best) and also using shape ways chest parts and siren lights from steam shield, thanks dude, the base mold is a TR getaway with tamiya spray paint to make him the colours, i am getting the sticker sheet to add a bit more to him. Hosehead is made using a generations hot shot mold, i went for the red one to avoid having to do any major painting, the head is a mash up of inferno and the voyager brainstorm (more plans for the body later) the guns on the head are of shape ways as well as the chest piece which i believe is designed to make a classics pyro from this mold, works great for this to. I do have plans to make Minerva using a couple of figures, wind blade, chromia and night beat, but am still working out plans for it, i also have the had for it ready to go, sorry there is no alt mode pics, and until i am back home again i won't be able to update with pics, i just wanted to show of some of the last things i was working on before getting back to work As always comments and crits are very welcome
ok, i think i need that chest piece for my hosehead, that looks awesome!!! is this the chest you used? Flame-o Chest by javaco on Shapeways
You should paint the Goshooter head (or buy a Siren/Loudmouth head) and paint it so that it has grey instead of white (to match the rest of the body) and the red visor. Otherwise it just looks like Goshooter's head on Siren's body. The guns on the side of Hosehead's head could sit a bit lower. They look far too high-set.
I love to see your work as always my friend, you continue to put out great customs. Love these 2! Nice to see you're still alive and well here in the Radicons.
i was going to paint the head for go shooter but decided against it in the end, plus it is a neat homage to both of the characters for myself, the guns on hose heads head unfortunately couldn't go down much further as it was getting to the shoulder joint if i went much further on the actual headmaster
Awesome! I just did a hosehead from Asia kids day hotspot and this is exactly what it needed, now to see if I can get the seller to make it available in red strong and flexible so I only have to paint a bit, shapeways red is an almost exact match for that version of the figure
You could always chop the pegs off the guns and create new ones around the middle of them, though that'd make the guns less useable as, you know, guns.
mind sharing how to install hoseheads new chest? ive looked everywhere and just cant figure it out :/ as an aside, if you swap the forearms so the crane is on top of his left arm he will retain transformation
From memory dude you have to remove the pin from the last plastic piece that folds out and remove that part, keep the pin to reinstall the new piece, i would recommend working out which way the new piece needs to fit inside the chest plate before putting it on, i got 2 of these and both times got it round the wrong way, so don't do that if you are not comfortable with removing the pins, for pin removal i normally use a sobering iron to heat the pin up, try and work out which end is knurled, this will be the end that needs to come out first otherwise you will push it all the way through the plastic and may cause damage along the way, hope this helps, i would take photos but i am currently in the Mediterranean and my toys are in New Zealand
No worries dude, if you need any more info in regards to it let me know dude, photos will help to if you are stuck on something
