this is truly awesome! seriously it's amazing work, and it's from scratch, well besides the kit car. but like SMOG said, the head does look a bit large. other than that, perfect.
Thanks guys, I tried playing with different size plugs before building the head, and with the width of his shoulders, I went with the scale you see. I realize many TF's have abnormally small heads, but next to human proportions, his head is still half the size it should be. Im happy with it.
you know what, you're right dude. i just looked back at a lot of my TF's and the heads were always not much bigger than their fists. so our vision is skewed due to what we're used to. but what matters most is that you're happy with it, and it truly is a piece of art to be proud of.
I really enjoy looking at this piece bro. The scratch-built parts are so perfectly crafted, flawless. It's amazing how well-rounded this is for a scratch-build....and I like how everything is so neatly packed in there in alt-mode without anything rubbing, 'cause that ain't easy.
Incredible craftsmanshipp here man! You are a true artist with the styrene. Everything about it is beyond impressive! I will be studying the WIP threads for pointers, because you have a hell of a figure here. Can't wait for the paint-up!
this is fantastic. I wonder if you ever considered using a recast of the binaltech meister head without the visor as a replacement for sideswipe head. I believe it was meant for this specific purpose. http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/kitbashes/Pun-3X/Alternator_Red_Alert_Custom/alert009.jpg
wow man!! this so sweeet!! my dream sideswipe, next to the movie version. this is cool dude..ive always wanted a lambor 1:24 scale of a G1 and you made it. i salute you!!
A little update. Its been a while, and ive had this guy sitting on my shelf unpainted, but Its time he got some color. Hes not finished, I still need to paint the car body, and do the detailing, but Im going to the boards LA meetup today, and wanted to bring him. So here he is, still a WIP, but closer.
too bad a real masterpiece is now out, but when you did this back then it was total win. id love to see some comparison shots of him with MP-12 though in the nicest possible way, he looks stalky, pudgy, fat and short... but again is amazing considering i couldnt do this, or do it better
