    A fun little project for the weekend turned out to be a lot of fun.
    Nothing too serious on this one, just figured the Alt mode looked good enough to display and the face is pretty close, but man that hood/arm combo is a doozy to work around isn't it!
    I also added a nice working sunroof too! Anything to distract from that horrible arm thing!
    I also added a little bit of weathering around the engine area and rear tire carrier. I Used Milliputty to fashion the eye piece.
    What do ya'll think? does it work? I don't think I've seen one of these yet so is it too much of a stretch?
    Opinions appreciated and welcome :)

    Finally a Trax custom. Looks very good, what mold did you use: I might be tempted to create a couple of these for my own collection.

    Hey thank you!There arent many SUVs out there so I used RID Brawn. His head has so many similarities I had to use him.

    This is so smart! That Transformer really looks well for a Vehicon custom, and your superior painting just makes it shine all the way through. Very well done!

    I always like the RID car-bot trio, and really like the Brawn figure although much more for his nice alt mode then for the funky bot with the weird arm. Your repaint looks great!

    He looks great, nice work! Funny, I just pulled one of these out of hiding to try turning into a Classics Ironhide.

    I love this, it actually is inspiring me to make one from a Movie 2007 Stockade
    If I ever get around to it
    I claim ownership if anyone else does it first! :p 

    Anyway, nice work
