This one's gone through a number of changes and I still need to even out the paint and do touchups for certain parts. From the knees down/from the cab to the back end of the truck is completely new so I haven't added any paint there yet.









I also need to dremel the inside of the back cab pieces so that they won't stick out due to the new legs/back of the truck.

C+C is, as always, welcome.

 

interesting

 

Its veeery big for Huffer  

 

Nothing to complain about here. This is awesome!

 

At least huffer can't complain about his size now, great job!

 

Thanks!

lol! No, he can't. And thanx!

I was nervous doing this because the original Ironhide legs I had on him already makes him tall. With the new legs, he's about a head and a fourth shy of Leader RotF Optimus. lol.

 

Neat build. Legs make him look like a stilt clown though, might work with longer arms.

 

Here's the way Huffer was originally before I switched the legs out in case anyone wanted to see.



I like the new legs better personally (even tho' I miss those feet...I tried to put them on the new legs but it wasn't happening).

I also thought about giving him longer arms but the arm length when stretched out straight is fairly close when not bent. Plus, the shorter arms gives me more of a Huffer vibe and longer arms I think would throw the visual weight distribution off.

I think overall, the new version looks way more Huffer-ish whereas the previous version shown above doesn't stand like Huffer and just looks like an orange Ironhide (to me). I do think the size/proportions are more Huffer-ish tho' that I can't deny. I just like the big truck wheels like Huffer should have.

 

Regardless of how you do it, I would seriously recommend making him more proportionate. Vehicle mode looks boss!
