looks like you're right on track. I like where you're going so far. If I'm not mistaken, getting the whole upper-body transformation is the hardest part.
Very much so, but I think i found a way around it, probably not the way that Guidi had invisioned, but I think it will work.
This project has been going off and of for over two years, I'll be lucky to get this one finished. Megatron and Optimus have already been done, I wanted to try one that had not been completed yet. Here is what it boils down to: I'm not happy with my styrene parts that I make and I can't afford high detail rapid prototyping. The RP I can afford does not have the detail I would want.
