Your bashing makes me want to fold within myself...or turn into a rocket pack. haven't quite decided. but that tail is SO clever and perfectly executed.
not only did you make a transformable jetpack tail which is just epic, and just when i think it can't get any better you make an even more perfect second one! official masterpiece all the way!! I cannot wait.
This is coming along so incredibly well. I don't know which tail I like better, both are pretty sweet.
This project is now coming to a close on my end. Final stage of primer is applied and all components are done. As always, here are the transformation instructions for any future owner or just a way to show how the build was accomplished. ^^Drop all his weapons and stand him straight. ^^Stretch the dino neck. The head armour and mouth all go with it. ^^Two hands are required to slide the dino head over...... ^^....like so. You'll need to grasp the robot head plate while sliding the dino head. Close the mouth to cover Slags robot head. ^^The backpack slides out at an angle. I did this because I wanted him to carry his wings low on the body. ^^The wings need to slide up before they can be rolled inward. there is an inner locking mechanism in place to keep them from flopping around. ^^Now the wings are rolled in. You may need to monkey around with them slightly to get around the arms. ^^The dinosaurs rear legs will need to be turned 180 degrees as they come around to the other side. They are ball jointed which allows for some tilt. These too have tight tolerances and need to be flipped and flopped a little to clear the surrounding panels. There are little pegs in place to hold the leg assembly in place once rolled around. ^^Now come the feet. ^^The heel needs to be opened first..... ^^....then roll the toe 180. ^^Then flip the heel back into place. this locks everything into place. ^^Now lift upwards on the entire foot assembly and rotate it 180 degrees then push it back down snug into place. ^^The dino ass/robot legs are pretty straight forward. ^^Roll em over and be careful of the rear dino leg coming into contact with the torso. ^^Now he should look like this. ^^The tail unfolds like so.... ^^Section after section and it's out. ^^Pull the whole assembly back.... ^^....and drop it into place. ^^Now go make a sammich.
Stormbringer85 is the new owner and will also be painting this one in that new fangled cell shade technique. I'm basically done with painting and will be outsourcing every future custom. (Semi-retired)
the amount of talent you have is unbelievable. I would buy this in a heartbeat if mass produced. Can't wait to see it all painted up.
Dat's me! LOL , I still can't believe this will soon be in my home, I am simply mindblown with anxiety!!
That looks factory made to me. Insane. A third party needs to pick this up from you and mass produce it. Seriously. Can't wait to see it painted up and (hopefully) alongside MP Grimlock.
