I know the lighting is harsh; I'll post some better pics in a few days, but I just wanted to get this out here. So excited to add these to the display.
Love the October Guard, and you did them justice. Where did you get Big Bear's and Schrage's headgear?
Thanks! Schrage's hat is sculpted on top of a modified Union soldier hat from the train set. Big Bear's russian fur hat is something I sculpted out of nothing (it came out better than I thought it would). I did some sculpting on Misha's safari hat too. Fixit sculpt is my friend. I'm not good at sculpting at all, but I just fumble around until I'm happy with the results (trial and error FTW!). I made a removable leather hat for Daina too, but I'm not thrilled with how it turned out. I'll probably end up sculpting a non-removable one onto a separate alternate head.
That is some major effort there. Lego minifigs got nothing on them. I did a terminator armory before.
What's better than corona-customs?! Gotta do something with all this free time. The team is filling out nicely...
"Cuteness overload ". These micro versions of classic characters are what Hasbro should have produced. I'd have magnets in their feet and have them stuck to metal surfaces all over the house. Which reminds me ...I should get my ko mega construx cobra troops out of storage.
Yeah, mega doesn't make a yellow that bright, and I wasn't interested in trying to paint joints that color. The KO was the way to go.
Thanks, gentlemen, I'm glad you like them. The figures are really fun to make, and the vehicles really pop all stickered-up. It's amazing how many of the reprolabel sets for vintage toys work for my homemade Joe vehicles. The size differentials aren't as huge as you'd think. jametron, I'm sorry about your pants...
Awesome figures. I would get such masterpiece humans that seem to scale well with mp transformers. (But only of they where affordable and reasonably priced). All this quarantine thing and shut down within society is indeed a perfect time to work on toys and toy displays in home.
This thread hasn't gotten enough likes. This is fantastic work you've done and the Lego/Megablock and Transformers and GI Joe mixing... These were the toys of my childhood. Bravo standing ovation! Excellent work all of it.
Thanks! It's been too long since my last update. I have a new MegaJoe vehicle and a couple of figures to add to this project, just need to do some cleaning up in the photo booth to snap some pics. Hopefully this weekend!
Man these look good! I've been thinking for a while that the Mega Construx micro action figures are the perfect size of human figure to go with Generations' ~1:35 scale, and glad to see someone making human characters that would fit nice with Transformers out of them.
