so i never really was able to finish this, i had alot going on and now my printer is having issues and i just dont have the time at the moment to continue working on this, along with some uploading issues, but here is a picture of my prototype for one arm with swoop Spoiler: pics of prototypes and assembly the bicep is supposed to have a cap so that it can slide onto the shoulder, and when spun it would lock on, but broke after use. Also the mount for the shoulder was never molded to fit the combiner port, but the location of the mount is very similar to the upgrade kit by PE. alot of my ideas were similar to TDW actually like the thigh cover, but i still had not figured out the right arm, or his feet unfortunately. and for those wanting a kit it would take alot longer for me to figure it out, and would cost alot as the ammount of plastic required would be extensive.
I really can't wait tot see the complete product. So. Which dinobot is next. Sludge, slag, Sarl, or grimlock(swoop is pretty much done)
I dig the way that Swoop arm looks...very sleek and powerful. I'm looking forward to seeing this guy once your schedule and printer allow.
I still believe he will come back to this. Only when the thread doesn’t allow any more replies I’ll believe it’s dead
It's been 4 years. I doubt this will ever be completed. You should check out his SS Devastator though! It looks sick so far.
So time to resurrect an old project, decided to not worry about 3d printing since it’s leave me less freedom, and abandon keeping the figures transformable for the same reason. aaaaanyways, using volcanicus, an incomplete leader ss grimlock, a few ko limbs, and a g1 grimlock head I present my current “the beast” the only thing I couldn’t source from figures are the shoulders leftover from my 3D printed version making them not transform let’s me make more stable and compact arms and joints, Still looking for a cheap hand option. Back still needs a bunch of filler and I had to take off the “neck” since it wasn’t poseable enough and I’m looking to add the silver cables from the comics. Now I know I’m waaay ahead of myself since I have far too many projects, and yes I will be continuing to work on my ss devy, but I also have the cyber verse Dinobots and volcanicus I will be doing either a similar treatment or try to make a transformable cyberverse volcanicus. anyways like always, make sure to leave any comments or suggestions!
hey the Image at the start of the thread broke and I just spent 5 minutes wondering if SS86 grimlock came out in 2018, looks sick as hell
