Awesome, and keep up the good work! In the meantime, I'll work on resourcing the Tutorial article. How many more do you plan on making?

Is there any way you could post a follow-along tutorial for this? http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/978965-masterpiece-g1-pipes.html

Yeah, this is rocking hard. I'll be glad to keep adding more when you have 'em :)

Wow. Just wow man.

I love you.

Awesome!

I've done a few MP11's haven't I?! :)
MP cars I love painting as well. Life is good thanks. Hegemon ebay listing has been a bit of a pain, that aside things are excellent :)

Hi mate.
Been a while...
How are things?

I moved your thread to Customs, and edited it just a bit to show how you actually use these: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/979397-g1-toon-backgrounds.html#post10806665

Again, very nice work!

I'll move the thread to customs, as it's a "Creative" thread anyways. But yeah, when/if you add more, just shoot me a message here so I can update the resource :)

Yo! I'm working on condensing this into a resource for us here. MANY thanks for all you contribute here. If you end up with any more, be sure to give me a head's up :wink:

I really have a feeling that we'll never see an official Masterpiece Reflector release. Replicating your custom has certainly been swirling around in my mind :)

Really dig your work on Red. As if it weren't enough that I want a set of those "MP" Reflector bots...! :lol

I posted in the thread, hope it helps although I'm not 100% on those assumptions I've made :)

hmm okay. Yeah you're right, but yeah that'll do the trick since we've already got the placement for the bumper in both modes. Ta bud :)
The position of the stick on the moveable bumper part, its length and the radius of the ball is pretty much all I'd need to figure it out I think.

Y'know, that's probably why I've got 2.5mm more than you :p How stupid of me, considering the pictures are right there in the WIP and you can clearly see the gap in bot mode...lol At least I won't have to remeasure and redraw chunks of the torso!

But yes, another one of your little diagrams with the dimensions and locations of the ball and socket on their respective platforms would be much appreciated.

I surrender! I've redrawn the ball-socket joint in the bumper quite a few times but never gotten it right, I can only surmise the neck of the joint is such a length that there's a gap between the static part and the neckplate part in robot mode.

I'ma need the dimensions of your ball joint and the location of your socket joint plsthx

I wasn't too confident after I measured the gap and found it to be 21mm myself....so I drew in all the detail into the underside of the bonnet and stuff looks okay. How far recessed are the tips of your bumper guard? They recess 1mm on my render right now, just wanna check that's right. If it is...well, I guess we're good! I'll upload the shot of the bumper-bonnet interaction internals to the WIP.

Right, I'm confused by something with the bumper :p The bumper piece works out at 35.5mm wide, 0.5mm shorter than the static portion. Is this right? Is yours just 0.25mm shorter either side and you have it centred?

Wicked, the bumper part's pretty much done then! Working on the neckplate part today, should be done by this evening (got family visiting right now).

Hey man, just wanted to check something. The depth of the bumper piece fixed to the torso- 8mm? It's the one that's 36mm long and 11m wide.

Could also do with confirmation of the dimensions of the top of the static bumper part. Your scratchbuild has slightly different dimensions to the stock one so correctly locating the holes isn't easy. I've got them 16.5mm apart, 2mm back from the front of the bumper right now.
