dude,i'd help you if i could cause from what i've seen that you got going on here,wow!!!! so close to the finish line,yet one more hurdle from what i've seen of your work though,i know you'll find a way
?.. I could but shipping cost are HIGH and I just need those MF'ing small wings + head + weapons... that mean if somebody in "fill in country" or lives near that store, they could pick it up... unscrew that parts I need... so they fit in an envelope just like I said twice now! than they can keep the rest good deal right?
DELICIOUS PETER SAVED THE DAY... THE SEARCH IS FINALLY OVER!!! behold: TRANSFORMERS Cybertron Deluxe DIRGE Loose Figure - eBay (item 190490451253 end time Feb-09-11 09:16:55 PST) Now let get that sucker shipped to the GANJA lands!!!
today it arrived.. it almost a shame to destroy him only for the minor parts.... maybe I'll use some other things.... but last couple of days where hard for me to get busy since the bed has been move and I need to find a new spot to power my tools etc.
thnx UPDATE: I have made progress today, silly thing is I didn't use the Dirge figure why? well I can't seem to avoid the canopy as parts-forming so then It's not such a big deal if the little wings just parts-form to I guess... I'm a little disappointed in myself, then again this is not gonna be displayed!
UPDATE: MADE A HUGE STEP and really decided that's it's gonna parts-form switched the tailwings to the front and vice versa!
UPDATE: OK it less partsformy now, then wings are fused and function as shins I actually don't know how to improve more, guess smoothing it here and there!
I always comment with the changes and update the pics in the first post! you really didn't see it ... that's how I roll no hard feelings
I torn on what to do... I have no inspiration on this guy it's staring at me... asking for a paintjob!!! what should I do.... 1. give it away and let someone else finish 2. leave it like this and paint it right away
Hey G60, do you have a spare Classics Jeftire laying around? Cause if you really are unhappy with this or have a lack of inspiration, then you could take the parts of this guy and use Jetfire as a base for a possibly more game accurate version. Would be simple too. -Remove the wings and tailfins of Jetfire. Maybe cut off the part that houses the wing joint to make it more streamlined. If you do, the panel line there which I have outlined in the attached pic is a very handy guide. -Take off the backpack, cut in half, stick it on the legs while finding a way to give the feet clearance. Either that or give him new feet, leaving Jetfire's as the thrusters while giving him the 'elephant feet' he has in the game. Then, stick the tailfins of your bash on there, maybe give them a new joint so that they can rotate and lay flat against the leg instead of sticking out like whoa. -Take the legs of your current Starscream. Remove the feet and the post they were on. Now you can fit them OVER the arms, hide them from sight, and bulk up the jet while hiding that piece of robot kibble! You don't even have to remove the wings! Only downside is that you will have to fit them on the back in robot mode, which could make him a bit backpack heavy as well as a partsformer. -Give him the jet intakes besides his head. Look at Jetfire: He already has them, but smaller! Find a way to make those longer, maybe take the ones that Cybertron Starscream has and stick them on there, making sure that the cockpit still fits in vehicle mode, that the arms can transform and that the shoulder joint still has room to move. -Give him a new head. C-Screamer's should fit in the cockpit for transformation, as long as you keep his balljoint in the same spot that Jetfire has his. -Maybe bulk up the arms a bit to hide the gaps left by the lack of armor. You could do this by taking the pads that Cybertron Starscream has on his arm and gluing them on there. Though be careful and try to make sure that the arms can still fit in the wing-mounts. It'd be a lot of work, but it could be worth it. I'm tempted to do it myself, but I only have one Jetfire and I love him too much to cut up. But it should work! The jetmode already has the right shape (only the nose is a bit off but it flipping up to form the chest makes up for it), the cockpit is close to the one WFC Starscream has, the transformation could work in your benefit, the legs are similar...
Indeed this could work, but work heavy I don't have a spare JF anymore If so much work needs to be done then I'd rather just paint him up as is now BTW does anyone want to finish my work or want to have this when it done? PM if you want
Good luck finishing this, I have a generations starscream in the works myself, the painting part just isn't finished.
