    The captions were funny. Very nice work on this as well. These are probably some of the best 3D prints for displays that I’ve seen.

    Thank you for the kind words! :) 

    Sure thing, here's a closer look at what it looks like:

    Protoform01.JPG

    Protoform02.JPG

    Protoform03.JPG

    ClearLid06.JPG


    Its organic form is a little different from the regular hard edge models so well, guess there's a first time to try everything :) 

    Painting it was fun cos it was just spraying random spots of blue-purple-silver-black on it to give it a random looking color scheme. Heh heh


    ===

    Also redid the lid to be clear using molding and casting so here are some quick shots of the process if anyone's keen:

    Making the mold box:
    ClearLid01.jpg

    Pouring the silicon rubber mold material:
    ClearLid02.jpg

    Taking out the mold after it has set:
    ClearLid03.jpg

    Mixing and pouring in the clear resin material:
    ClearLid04.jpg

    Freshly cast clear lid which needed some trimming and post sanding before installation:
    ClearLid05.jpg


    Just did a more detailed writeup on this process over here (https://www.patreon.com/posts/45394603) so you can check it out if anyone's keen on that.​

    So it's a blob shape that vaguely looks humanoid?

    It's perfectly show-accurate.

    Wonderful build! I love how the pod AND the terminal open up! Also, that show-accurate Tarantulas looks fantastic, is there a gallery of him somewhere?

    Thanks ! The Tarantulas was actually borrowed from a pal who customed painted it to look anime accurate. Don't think he has an account here but here's his IG handle where he posts his customs - Login • Instagram

    In any case, here are a couple more shots of Tarantulus:

    With all this beast wars stuff I'm betting we could possibly see, the transmetal driver, rampages captured spark, and the autobot healing platform used to save optimus prime in season 3

    Well if I'm giving you ideas I might as well include the "hammer" dinobot used to save the primitive humans

    Having a blast with the latest WFC Kingdom Megatron and of course just needed to create some addons for him too:


    Introducing his Bathroom set! Featuring the rubber ducky and the toothbrush.

    BWMeg_Addons_01.JPG

    BWMeg_Addons_02.JPG

    Have two sizes for the ducky, both which can have a 5mm peg attached to the bottom (literally?), so Megatron or any other bots can hold it. And alternative versions also come with a 3mm peg in the beak so ....

    BWMeg_Addons_03.JPG

    ducky can go pew pew too with any of your blast effects!

    BWMeg_Addons_04.JPG

    Two ducks in hand are better than, erm , two in the bush or something?

    BWMeg_Addons_05.JPG

    And of course, between bouts of skirmishes with the pesky Maximals, one must always find time for dental hygiene upkeep ... yeesssssss

    BWMeg_Addons_06.JPG

    ~ Brush brush brush, to keep things clean. Gotta have good teeth, if you wanna win ~

    BWMeg_Addons_07.JPG

    And here's a bonus shot featuring the healing vat from before - let's allow Megs to take a nice soak at the end of the day to wash all the tedium away. Nothing can be more rejuvenating! Extra duckies don't hurt!

    This fun piece comes from the classic episode "Call of the Wild" where Megatron went on the hunt for the Maximals who had unfortunately turned feral from having to stay in their beast modes.

    MegRifle01.JPG

    Sporting a body design similar to Megatron himself, this double barreled rifle (or shotgun?) seem perfect for large game hunting.

    MegRifle03.JPG
    MegRifle04.JPG

    "Shhh, be vewy vewy quiet, we hunting maxmimals ... Yessss "
    Ah ha! Spotted Dinobot and Cheetor right over there!

    MegRifle06.JPG

    Blast effects can also be added the front of the rifle, and then Kablamo!

    MegRifle07.JPG

    Hmmm, he's a dino too, so maybe he gets a pass...?

    MegRifle08.JPG

    With this awesome weapon in hand, Megaton will reign supreme (for now?)

    MegRifle09.JPG

    There you have it, a bombastic weapon of power for Megatron to take down the Maximals with. Let's just hope he actually succeeds this time eh? :) ​

    Nice upgrades!

    I never realized cheetor turned into a dinosaur! (The captions are mixed up for the blast effect image and the dinobot image)

    Also duel weilding rubber duck guns is awesome.

    Your creations look very awesome there, good job!. Can you also do the Transformation Lock Lens from the episode 'The Probe'?.

    Here's a couple more pieces to help the Maximals outfit their Axalon HQ to further their fight against the Preds!


    Axalon Crew Seat

    We saw these seats slide all around and even get flung around the ship!

    Chair01.JPG
    A fairly simple seat with a somewhat complex and futuristic design, this was sized to allow most of the different class bots to sit nicely in it.

    Chair03.JPG
    Even tanky Rhinox can settle down comfortably into these seats! And notice those 5mm ports on the side?

    Chair08.JPG

    There's where you accessories and weapons can be pegged on for storage!

    Chair09.JPG

    Come as two parts connected with a central dowel , so it can swivel from side to side too.

    Chair10.JPG

    Axalon's Main Computer Table

    A lot of the series saw our stalwart Maximals gather around and plan their actions on their main computer table too so here it is! Shrunk down the Axalon from earlier for a holographic display where the bots can check on the status of their HQ's defenses.

    AxalonTable01.JPG
    And alternative topper for the middle portion of the table provides a grid like scanner look. Also, the earlier crew seat matches this in height so bot can just sit at the table.

    AxalonTable02.JPG

    When repairs are needed, the motherboard can be accessed by pulling up the keyboard panel so Rhinox can get down to fixing things! Rattrap fits into the middle hollow of the base to help out too!

    AxalonTable03.JPG

    The same middle hollow section doubles up as a storage cache so you can just dump in the extra accessories for safekeeping. I'm looking at you, tiny rattrap blaster! AxalonTable05.JPG


    So there you have it, couple more furniture pieces to fill out ye olde Axalon display! Will probably need to work on a couple more piece to get the interior a little more complete soon! ;) ​

    Wow these are just as good as the Darksyde display pieces you made! The paintwork and reusability of your stuff doesn’t really have an equal.
