Oh,my.You're at it again,aren't you?Damn,dude!I need to get to this level of toy making.So cool the stuff you do,it is.
Got the bird feet installed. They become the robots inner chest and needed to articulate with the robots legs. Wasn't easy but I got it all working. Wings are complete and the beast head is mounted and mostly finished.
Swoop's a little too chunky for my liking, he always seemed the slender one but man, your styrene work is jawdropping. I cannot wait to see Sludge and Snarl.
amazing...now the world of customizing is cheering up again because of you not retired....im in awe to see all of your MP DIno progress....and the best of all is it is an MP and not action master at all!
Thanks d00ds. I'm currently in the middle of gutting the legs so the feet fit inside of them. As Altitron pointed out, he needs more "neck" which I can only accomplish by forcing the Beast modes upper body to get smaller. It should be about as accurate as the toy or toon model was but not to an actual Pteranodon. Also, having watched a couple episodes with Swoop this weekend, his robot body proportions were bulked and scaled similar to his fellow Dinobots. I'm not sure where the idea that Swoop was slimmer or smaller than the others comes from (unless the toy is being used as reference) so I'll continue to keep him in toon accurate scale to the others.
I think the frailty comes from the toy and animated series and various depictions in the comics. but I gotta say I really really love that swoop. the detail on the head alone is knocking my socks off.
