    Hi all,

    This is my version of a Classics Minerva, she is made using the generations chromia mold as well as the generations night beat mold, the head has parts from shape ways for the antenna and the face is a combination of chromia and night beat. The paints used are Tamiya pearl white and pure red, the stickers are of course from MP ratchet i had left over, the front bumper now sits on the backpack to give the shoulders as the character has, she still transforms but again fresh paint i am not doing this today. Any comments and crits are more than welcome.

    Holy moly, that part swapping.

    Really impressive that you managed to transplant so many of Chromia's parts AND maintain the transformation. I'd love to see vehicle mode.

    Nice paintjob but the feet are too bulky.

    I think a TFP Vehicon body would make a better minerva.

    The t30 BB is a perfect Shooter. U also need a Cab!!

    Keep up the gr8 work!!

    I just wanted to try my hand at something a little different dude, i sort of imagine her feet as Ug boots which girls often like to wear, i am currently rebuilding my Cab to have a much better face sculpt and better paint job as well, so stay tuned for that :)
