Hybrid Autotrooper Got myself a DOTM Rescue Ratchet for cheap. And told myslef why not. Instead of a car alt mode, he is now a hummer. Mods done:- - Cut up plastics on the knee and thighs, making him less bow legged. - Replaced hands with junker gundam hands - Head is from GM Cannon modified to have a neck swivel. I chose a GM because of its generic look, fitting Autotrooper. I just finished priming him and will be painting him up tomorrow. Note: The face is masked as I am covering the clear plastic. EDIT: 4/11/2012 He is done.
yep. i have the same ratchet mold. looks really cool dude gonna keep an eye on this to see how it turns out
This is really cool. Great idea this is the repaints and redecos that we should be getting with these molds.
Yeah, and there's nothing like a clean primer look to help bring out a mold's brilliance, eh? ... and of course, I too will be awaiting the progress.
Thanks all for the comments! He is done. I coated it with a few layers of pearl gloss. Probably the pics are not capturing it right.
dude that's nice! I love the pearl coat, I can imagine just what it's like because I used it on my prime thunderwing - I love the minimal paint apps, which I know some people will say you should break up some of the grey, but it looks really really clean!
Haha! This is just for personal collection, not going anywhere. Thanks. I am aiming for a utilitarian look so the muted colors works well here. Thanks, glad you liked it. Unfortunately not at the moment, that would mean I have to get a few more GM heads As for the paint, it is holding up nicely. I need more money
I'd like to see some slightly brighter photos. This REALLY looks nice. You're really on a nice roll with your work, bud. Autorooper is a fav of mine
That's awesome! I love the idea. I would have trouble not looking for more so I could army build, haha.
