    just sharing pics before final smaller detailing and then onto priming and paint.
    i may fill in the remaining spiderweb detailing in his legs and get rid of them,
    and i'm still also debating on whether or not to give him his back pack/trigger handle like g1 had,if i do than i have to try to work out a hand pistol mode too:inquisiti

    Oh yeah!!! He's going to be incredible Chans...will you sculpt out the helmet a bit too? The backpack sounds like a great idea BTW.

    Love the additions on the chest!!!

    Amazing! And you should have a poll for the whole backpack thing (I'd vote yes).

    also, does anyone else see some of these parts working for a FOC Hard/Bombshell?

    Wow, that's pretty fantastic use of that Spider-Man mold. I've got one of those kicking around armless too. Sweeeet! :thumb

    looks like you're off to a great start. The only thing that bugs me is the head, can't help seeing Rodimus with eyebrows until it gets some paint.

    I'm sure this will look a great deal better once this is painted.

    Wow, very interesting use of parts that I never would have thought would work. Seeing this changes that though. Very creative

    thanks echo.
    the head was already severly modified already.
    you can barely tell now but it started life as a powerrangers zord bot head,even had a police cap with a badge on the very front of the crest.the new middle pointy crest is actually another bots toes,cut down triangular.the yellow chunks are clipped from a gundam's head.the original pr zoids head was actually stationary too,molded to a swiveling platform,not able to turn or look up or down.


    thanks!!
    thanks,but i decided last night to go ahead and butcher a g1 galvie for this:wink: 

    thanks joey!!

    thanks,and that would be one big insecticon:D 

    thanks!!

    thanks,and if you're wondering,the arms are heavily butchered from cybertron wingsaber,hands are from the same PR zord bot,and the actualy shoulder balljoints are from kreo jazz.

    thanks,and yeah,i kinda see it too now:D 

    lolz,soon,i do see roddy too now:tongue: 

    thanks,and hopefully it ends up decent,i'm still torn though on the color schem.
    the g1 toy is predominantly grey with purple as secondary and red highlights,
    and depending on the season,g1 toons showed him as almost a navy dark blue,yet comics like idw show him as mostly purple:confused: 
    maybe a mix of all three?


    ^thanks fellas

    *new picks updated to first post,almost ready for priming now that the back side is finished*

    I love it, but I wouldn't go with the backpack at all. He's very sleek in his own way... curvy, like Galv is supposed to be... but the backpack is blocky. ><

    all of your work is full of win man! this is going to be one awesome galvatron. I've always felt he's a difficult character to capture, cant wait to see him painted.
