Amazing! I wanted Herc real bad before I saw what you were doing! Now I would kill for yours lol, no seriously .....lol
Dude that is one of the best works of custom art Ive seen around here. The only part that sucks is once I get mine here in the next week is that its going to be just PLAIN. You have some talent my friend.
How have you lit his eyes up? do you know if anybody's making something you can plug onto the back of his ehad that has an LED or anything like that?
thanks everyone for taking the time to comment, I do very much appreciate it... No problem...wish I coulda got the construction site pic you suggested, that would be really cool...I'll keep it in mind if I ever happen to see a good environment to take good pics... Thanks for the great compliment...but I have to give credit where it's due...I had a lot of tips from the guys over at procustomizers.com...they were vey helpful in me leaning new painting skills... It's a light pod from Dr. Wu...robot kingdom sells them...there's a thread in the 3rd party section for them... EDIT: here it is http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-3rd-party-discussion/579074-dw-p05-eyesight.html
D'oh, out of stck of course..... lol Thans for the heads up though. I'll keep an eye ut for restocking
He looks amazing man! I haven't been to the forums as much in the last few months and missed a ton of your updates... I think I'm ready to screw mine up now, lol! Would love to get a set of those bigger wheels for Structor and Heavy Labor? I'll have to dig threw all those posts in the "big" Herc forum and see what all I missed! Awesome job again!
That's so friggin sweet! I was wondering what happened with this, looks like I might need to try out that tape afterall, looks nice. The weathering came out nice as well, very well done all around.
Thanks man...Funny you reserected this thread today cause I was just coming to update it with new pics...I added some new ones with the Rage kit from TFC... As for the wheels, I think I can help with the HL wheels...but I don't have anymore spare oversized Structor wheels...it took 12 regular sized ones to make the four fat ones!... Thanks a lot man...more than for just the compliment, I also owe you thanks for help with the weathering...your suggestions helped out a lot... If you need any hazard tape, LMK, I think I can help...
G.I.EDDIE's Herc FTW!!! You pretty much got the best looking Herc out there man. Definitely prefer the look without the leg extenders, and your arm positioning mod for the rage kit really does make a huge difference to the overall look/silhouette of Hercules. Good sir, I doth my hat to you.
Do you have any pics/discussion of your elbow mod? If it is straightforward enough, it might make me bite on the rage kit.
Thanks guys!...very much appreciate the comments... I also prefer the look w/o the extensions...before I had the rage kit on, I thought the extensions would look perfect with the added bulk of the upper torso...i couldnt wait to get the rage kit just to put it all together...but now, with the extra bulk AND extensions together, I feel it exaggerates the too narrow lower torso even more...the problem isn't Hercs height, it's HLs size in general... Lol, I don't know about that...especially when Spurt finally puts his all together...mine will be put to shame... I have two pics in first post of this thread showing what I did...basically one tiny hole and a longer screw...I'm gonna maybe put together a tutorial, it's really easy...Though, to put the figures back into bot or vehicle mode, the screw needs to be removed... I made 'em out of styrene...yeah, it's extra kibble, but I think it helps the combined look immensely...
