    Finally got around to ordering Steamshield's Shapeways parts for the Coneheads. Ramjet done first. IMG_4710.jpg IMG_4712.jpg IMG_4714.jpg

    Besides the Ramjet-specific parts, also used Steamshield's alternate chest plate and a pair of GU-11 Macross Gun pods. Wanted to tie the Coneheads together while giving them some additional differentiation from the other seekers. And the GU-11s mimic the look of his original armaments and at least look like legit weapons.

    Alt modes after all three are done. Thanks for looking

    Your precise paintwork really brings out the great detailing on Steamshield's parts (and the original fig). Nicely done. Good call with the gun pods too.

    Looks great. The gold makes it pop. The alt chestplate does look better.

    Thanks; Dirge is next. Already disassembled and taped and waiting for the weather to be just warm enough for me to spray prime the parts.

    Thanks! There's so much that Hasbro could have done instead of just giving all of them the same null rays.

    Thanks!

    After I get all three done, so I can do group pics in both modes. Although this is the first time I clear-coated a guy, I still want to preserve their paint jobs as much as possible.
