i plan on adding panels to the inner legs. they are hollow. everything is together w/ jb weld, so its as solid as it gets.

does anyone have a hi res scan of magnus' decal sheet? i need to resize them for my custom.

If you think about it, he should be taller than Prime, or at least be the same height at the shoulder line. So you could beef up those legs a bit and not have to worry about being out of scale.

should i make the thighs longer or give him some blocks on the bottom of his feet to stand on?

thats the only in progress pic i took, other than the work on the decals and legs you see in earlier posts.

its quite amazing how compatible Gundams and TF's are... they work so well together, youd think that someone from bandai went to hasbro during the process of both lines at once, and gave every one ideas as to how to merge them all together.

I think for his neck, it could stand to be thicker. maybe as big as the head that normally fits inside the helmet.
I definately think his shoulder joints shouldn't stick out so much.
the thighs look a little too rounded. I like the fact that they're not red though.
you could consider if you're doing more work on it, to do a new face.
you could make it transformable by having the thighs split in half or something.

He looks good, really good considering what he came from, BUT when comparing his arm length to his body length, I noticed something. He Has No Waist! it goes from torso to legs if you split that up with a diffined waist he'd look worlds better. Just some thoughts.

update: waist is now more defined w/ blue paint, arms are set in, and faction symbols added.
