    Haha no cant do that, I will end up on the TFW naughty list and I wont be able to make more art for more members.

    Besides, I can remake these anytime when I am ready to retire and just sit at home and watch my boxes :lol

    Thank you Soundwave144.

    Redtruck you have just reinvented the shelf sir. This is the next biggest thing since Detolf's.
    You've even made Tigertrack look incredible! I had no interest in him whatsoever prior to this. Bravo, look forward to seeing more.

    Dr. K .... Insane! You brought me back to the 90's where G2 stuff was still a surprise, incredible talent sir.

    That looks great. I love how the figures look on that metallic surface. I agree that a backdrop is too far, though. You've managed to give them a nice little accent without going overboard. It enhances the figures while still being minimalist and simple.

    It definitely gives me something to think about for my own display plans.

    Amazing!

    Hi Y'all. Question regarding MP Grimlock. It appears the his shoulder/Dino legs can slide inwards but spring out too.

    Is there a purpose to this, should they lock? Also can he hold weapons in both hands? I've had no luck with that.

    tell your friend curt that he did an amazing job on those boxes! and the painting on the toys is awesome as well!

    youre welcome sir!!

    I like the green on his cannon!

    his legs do that to because of the head move gimmick. in dino mode, you push down on him and his head will move back and forth. and yes, he can hold both weapons in either hand to utilize the light up gimmick in his right arm. I hope this helps!!

    Hey RedTruck, regarding the cartoon accurate Bluestreak using Silverstreak, how did you remove the head from Bluestreak and place it on Silverstreak? I'm looking at it now but can't see any screws, just pins. Did you remove the pin from the helmet?

    Hey, yeah it's the long pin that goes right across his 'shoulders', 'twas a bitch to get in and out! I looked at the tutorial on removing pins somewhere on here.

    Looks amazing man.
    I would have loved for hasbro to make boxes like these for their mps.
    I swear this fandom has more creativity then hasbro.

    I bought these years back to be honest, they were a lot cheaper then on ebay. But now they are around 30 quid on ebay, so honestly I don't know.
    There are some mods than can be done for a lot cheaper, in the radicons theres 2 threads to make mp01 look like mp10 by jacknife...... here you go
