That is truly a work of art, I saw this on flickr but didn't want to say anything until you posted this piece. Awesome! I will definitely pick this up. Beautiful.
That mace looks fantastic! I was hoping to do something like that myself some day. I had planned to make hands to go along with it for WfC Megs, but it would have required partsforming. A wedge would have plugged in between the forearm halves and have a ball-jointed wrist to a normal fist. I figured when in tank mode, the fist would have folded and fit within the empty area inside and between his shoulders. If that helps you with an idea, I'd love to see you adapt it to your own stuff.
Well, I did use a stiff brush and cutting blade to clear out the excess powder for the WSF; the details weren't as sharp in the beginning but it's a better print than some I have. I did nothing to the transparent detail though. I kinda like how the print lines flowed with the overall shape of the blade and added some beautiful texture to it. A pure happy accident. Thanks for your support! Thanks for your comment on the hands too, that's cool of you That's an interesting thought; we can dremel away the existing hands and form a slot where the new hand will sit in. I just don't like parts-forming though But yes, we can definitely adapt this line of thought into a great solution! Hopefully by Christmas I can think of something *fingers crossed* It's about 5 inches long (14cm). Slightly bigger than what it should be, but now you can use it for voyagers and leaders as well!
I'm not a fan of partsforming either, but the only other option would be making a fist and cutting it in half. Glad to hear my idea may help!
There *might* still be some space in his forearm to store a 5mm fist in. It just wouldn't be elegant, s'all Thanks! Oh man...I can't wait to see what you're coming up with! Huh? For which version of Optimus? The WFC one?
if i may suggest, how about a G1 gun for voyager classics Prime? or a gun for WFC Prime that looks like a gun hand like in the game? Knowing the job you do man, i know it would get heads turning (not just TF heads haha)
The funny thing is that it isnt. But knowing Fakebuster, he must be looking into it to make it work somehow
the one I bought is for a WFC megs custom, so I'll be sure to show how I got it to work. Most likely; megs will need new hands...
