Ok, version II shapeways kit tested and ready to go! I also applied G1 sticker set from toyhax - really like the outcome!

Vehicle mode. I managed to graft on an exposed engine using Sunstreaker's spare hand:



The hood can be removed, and I have sculpted a lot of details - suspension components - underneath:



(parts) Transformed:

 

Looking good.

 

I love it! Looks adorable

 

oh yess thats awesome.

 

Having the front of the car as his chest makes it look exceptional!

 

Kind of kills the alt mode aesthetic, but the bot looks much better

 

Love your work.

Can you remove half the chest then glue it as a faux chest? Then just leave the other 3D printed nosecone.

 

Fully done!

 

This is a HUGE improvement! Great work, love that Sideswipe too

 

What paint did you use for the blue? Its real great match.

 

Tamiya TS-44 brilliant blue. A bit too dark but barely noticeable.

 

I think have Testors can thats the same color. Testors Bright Blue seems to be the same thing, its even a bit to dark.

 

way to beautify it !

 

Here's what could be a dumb question, but the wheels don't have a visible pin to sodder heat and remove, it seems like the axle is hidden under the hub cap...how do you get them off? From the underside there's a small opening.. do you make a tool and pry or what? I'm worried about breaking something.

 

Heh never mind you just pull 'em off. Ha.

 

dude you killed it awsome work i want one now , and awsom CW Sideswipe keep up the great work

 

p.s. is there a shoulder-mounted bazooka on shapeways? I was looking and didn't see one.

 

This is very cool, nice work!

 

yeah, just google "shapeways CW Mirage Shoulder Accessory."
