all kidding aside that is one sweet goldbug that head is perfect

[Ramrider]

Wow... Goldbug is gorgeous. And a vastly underused character (who will be appearing in Fusion, I believe...).
That's a failure? What went wrong?

That's a failure? What went wrong?

*Iterates.* Yeah... What went wrong? Doesn't really look much like a failure...

[Bumblebee1251]

man, it was an attempt at complete futility (ya like that?)

it was supposed to originally be my crowning alt. bumblebee
after being less than perfect, i figured i could salvage it by
making it goldbug. but in the end
it was completely frustrating, there were:

gap issues that couldn't be fixed
paint issues (it wouldn't stick to the body even after being resanded
and re-painted)
i couldn't get any of the joints to hold to the body the glue
kept coming undone
i couldn't secure the legs to the body, again JB Weld, epoxy, marine
epoxy, and 3 other types of super glue etc. couldn't make it stick
i finally had to give up as i was sooooooo pissed that it wouldn't
work...and if i finished it would still have sucked.
look at my snarl, first thing anyone pointed out on it was the gap issues

we've all got a good "eye" and see the little things...
I want an alt Bumblebee probably more than any other character ever,
since i was 5 he has been my single most favorite character and to
create him is to be perfect. nothing less...i hope someone else out
there understand what i'm sayin.

i totally understand ya bumble.. there are a few different lines of toys that my one fav fig isnt there. and i want one... but it wont be the same. i want a sigma 6 firefly.. so im trying to make one cause the one comming out looks like pooh... going to make a serpentor outta cobra commander. and im dying on the inside to try and find 24th scale construction vehicles to make an alt devvy... so im right beside ya man!

[Bumblebee1251]

this is about all that i liked out of the character.

but i'm excited because i have this in store.........

yay, looks like you can change the name of this thread now!!! (does a little jig)

ok if you get a small enough drill bit you can use it to make screw holes. with the new tiny holes add screws into the tiny holes to make it strong. any small toy screws would work i like the ones from the kos that have a point they secure better. ive done this to customs you can drop them of a fridge after. i have rarely completed a custom all the way through they almost always go in the cubboard for storage till i get feeling to work on them again. that screw thing should help with leg placement
