    Hello all! I know it's been awhile since I've posted a custom TF. I've been doing Gundams and other model kits lately. But it is good to go back to doing custom transformers. And in using some things I've learned from model building.

    Here is a little project I did for my mom. In the risk of showing my age, she had a 70's Chevy Camaro when I was little. It was blue with a white top and she had to give it up after a few years. Was costing too much for upkeep and to raise a rugrat with a huge transformers need. However, I remember her saying at some point that she missed it.

    So, I happen to be poking around and BANG. Came across this 2007 deluxe Bumblebee and by golly, it works!!!

    Painted him up like the old family car and I have to say... I think he looks better in this color layout.

    Thanks for looking. :)  70sBumbleBee00.jpg

    Maybe with a different head, you could pass this off as a movie version of Glyph!

    Very nice. It's a movieverse Glyph! Always did like that one mold... never repurposed it for one of the many Bee variant dudes (or dudettes).

    I can relate. I've always liked Glyph because when I was very young, my father had a blue Volkswagen Beetle.

    Very nice custom. The blue really suits the mold.

    I wish they'd use a 4th gen Camaro ( '93-'97 ) for Bumblebee in one of these movies just so I can get a Transformer to customize into my car. So far all they've done is a Spychanger...
