    i cant help but enjoy the site of this in that your resourcefulness in kitbashing is truly progessin to a strong degree. also i find it refreshing in seeing a fiure such as this being transformed into a work of art.

    Such a great follow-along. Tons of mods, tons of articulation.

    Well done good sir.

    This is some good stuff, you are going to turn that junker into a gem! Oh, and I don't know if anyone pointed it out or answer this already, but the little guy is the brainmaster who forms Saber's face. you fold the chest down and stick him in and an elevator raises saber's face through the little guys body (can't remember the brain master's name atm)

    Technically, "The Brain of Courage". Which is why everyone just calls it Yuki, the Japanese name.

    Thanks for the tip for the shoulder mods for my MP Ultra Magnus dude ! More lego bits I need to track down.....I'm guessing you can get a lego socket to go with the ball joint ?

    How is this StarSaber project going anyways ?

    Thanks so much for your encouragement and praise.. :) 

    Ur welcome :D 

    Ah kewl thnx 4 the info guys! :) 

    I'm prolly gonna paint it yeah.. unless I managed to un-yellow it via WPO

    What I used for the SS shoulders are just plain Lego Knights...
    But I used the sockets that are hidden inside the torso...
    Be careful cuz you need to break them for it to open!

    Well progress ehmm, like yourself have many projects at the same time..
    in this case I'm stuck at the horrible job of the upper legs :(

    Yeah those upper legs are a B**** have to get it articulated but at the same time have it at the right length so when in alt mode pegs together with the arms flush. One idea was to copy your sabers upper leg articulation where he gets forward and back and kind of create a rotation knee joint that can bend and rotate to get that L shape for his alt mode, but connecting it to the lower leg is where I am stuck.
