I used a little bit of everything on this guy. Rear fender flares and spoiler from G1 Jazz Rear roters and head parts from generations Jazz Replolabels and water slides from Porsche model kit Mp Smokescreen with remolded front end
Very nice work. Only thing I might say is that the rear fender flares aren't a great fit with the body lines of the rest of the car. On the other hand, I think they look pretty frikkin cool in 'bot mode! I like the way you blended the 2 different blues there too.
I did the best I could with what was available. The fenders are diecast and I couldn't do a reshell because no 1/25 Porsche 935 model kit exist.
Yeah, sucks they stopped producing that model. I think you did really well with what you used but the bot mode is where this seems to shine though. Great job!
this is a pretty cool custom, but i agree with the others, the alt mode just looks... off... since the 935 is essentially two Porsches spliced together (i forget the model numbers), it would be conceivable to get two model kits, one for the curvy rear half and one for the square front half and do a re-shell. if you did that, you'd have a real winner on your hands! that being said the bot mode is fantastic and you're likely to inspire a few customizers on here to try and emulate you. good work!
I don't post often anymore but I just had to tell you how much that rocks! Seriously, awesome job. Whelp, that explains why I couldn't find one. Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks! And nice use of Animated Ultra Magnus on that Octane.
The new MP cars scale roughly around 1:32, if you were to put it next to a 1:25 or 1:24 model kit, the MP would be much smaller. Most cars you find in 1:32 are diecast though, which is a pain to mod. I think the bot mode looks great, and having done a few re-shells myself I know this had to a major challenge.
I thought the classics were 1/32 . I'm pretty sure the MP's are around 1/28. I will find out in a week or two when this fella shows up in the mail. Could just ask Tigerblade. He has this one finished and ready for paint last time I looked. Kyosho miniZ if you are lookin.http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radic...lade-creations-masterpiece-jazz-pb02-wip.html Edit- Yep Tigerblade sez so himself.. 1/28 scale
I have a 1/32 Porsche 935 model kit sitting right here and its way smaller than the mp Nissans. And I also have a 1/24 and its way too big.
Close as I can find. Mod the front bumper, and I'm also gonna get a porsche 934 for the rest of the body and try and work some magic.lol edit- maybe you were talking about Tigerblade's bot. dunno .lol. He's close though.
You need to look for a '76 Porsche 935 slant-nose, rare to find if it isn't a race car kit, and usually in an oddball scale like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-43-Spark-Porsche-935-Martini-Winner-of-1976-6-hours-of-Mugello-car-4-Martini-/380927763431?pt=Diecast_Vehicles&hash=item58b11063e7
Looks fantastic in bot mode! What'd you do to the knees? Some styrene work there? Looks really nice. Working on a reshell myself. Based on my calculations (once this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're gonna see some serious sh!t), the MP Z cars are between 1/28th and 1/29th...popular closest model scale is 1/24th or 1/25th...the problem I've run into is that the wheel base on the Z cars is too short...so it'll take some real creativity to keep the transformation, that I think I'm going to abandon.... Anyway, great job, man!
