    A lurker no more....

    I also had this work in progress started a long time ago.
    Buying a condo, moving and life make project shift from time to time ;) 

    Now this, I'm happy with so far, sorry about the quality of the pictures though.
    I don't think anyone tried up this guy for either frenzy or rumble yet.

    So far, gundam 1/100 hands ( thought of that before, but ain't no cast... I need to figured out how to do that.... Ptite vite, jte paye la broue pour tes secrets !

    Head is getting worked on, I'm trying to make a head, similar to his 80 counterpart, with a touch of today, I find the goggles amazing for frenzy, think it fits the character well.

    Work in progress, is meant to determine how things will go... well for his pile driver, I'm taking soundwave's idea of his battery being his gun, well for this case, his batteries, will be his pile driver...

    Comments? Questions? Anything? Let me know, more than welcome to your suggestions.

    Now that's a good idea for the use of those Real Tech figures. With a little head sculpt, definitely a good Frenzy or Rumble can be had from this guy.

    Looking forward to the finished product!

    I think I'll have to rebuilt the top of the head, the putty I've used, has been there for a whole month...
    probably, entirely of styrene...

    Like I said though, the pile drivers are way from finished... there will be alot more details in time...

    It seams I needed to post those pics, to find the will to finish them ;) 

    I'm really surprised that no one thought of those before!
    Makes me happy!

    Thanks again Dormamu, can't wait to post more pics myself!

    Yeah I have an Idea For reflector, using this same camera, but making a robot out of a "lens adaptor, and another custom for a flash.

    Making it a combiner of 3 different robot representing each part of the camera.

    what would he look like with the pile drivers if you were to 9lock the arms back onto the torso? would it be too rigid then?

    I haven't tried it, but i think it would look like a brick...
    I was very disapointed with the "real gear" "portable console"
    that had no articulation.

    I'll plan out how I think those pile drivers would look like tonight. And if i'm done, will post it tomorow. I found it's easier, to plan down your parts, this way, chances of screwing up are less of an issue. Cost wise, it helps also!
