LSOTW Fortress Maximus

Postby GetRightRobot » Wed Jun 08, 2011 4:01 pm

Motto: "Surf in the Summer, Collect in the Winter."
Weapon: Neptune Sword
With the unveiling of the iGear Impactor and Wrecker head moulds, I thought I would share my Wreckers custom. Here is the Warden!
Image
I know that Gasket/Grommet/Cog, Cerebros, and Spike did not make an appearance, I felt like they might have been behind the scenes, patrolling the grounds, or killed early in the Decepticon assault on the Garrus-9 Penitentiary. So included them.
Image
Image
I still do not like the idea that Overlord made such quick of Max, but he did not kill him!
Image
Even though Max never transformed in LSOTW, the terra based alt. mode was implied by the addition of tracks on his legs and backs.
Image
Image
Although G1 Fortress Maximus had nearly the same color palette, the application areas were almost completely different from Wreckers Max.
Image
The "rifle" becomes the spire of the baddest wing in the Garrus-9 prison. Solitary confinement!
Image
Alot of mods went into this one. I tried to maintain a balance between the original Max, and LSOTW max. This custom includes LED eyes, with CAD designed interchangeable faces. The Original, Cartoon calm and angry, and LSOTW calm and angry. The Rifle has 3 LEDS, two reds in the barrel and green in the scope, along with a speaker and battery assembly with 3 separate weapon sounds.
Image
Image
I used all custom mixed paints, base coats, highlights and flat lacquer sealant airbrushed applied. Dry brushing, washes, computer designed components, electronics, metal flake metallic paints, the works! Hope you guys like it!

EXTREMELY in depth video covers everything about this custom, bored? check it out:

Weapon: Requiem Blaster
woah my god.
give it to me.
:P
what did you use as tha base?
i've always thought it would be a funny idea to use third party stuff eg predaking hands instead of making your own for a kitbash, even if the thing you are making is nothing lke the thing they were designed for...:P

Did you know? Rosie Huntington-Whitely's great-great-uncle served in the second world war, and his grandfather was a conservative Prime Minister.

I used what else? A g1 Fort Max! This guy is 25" tall! The hands are scratched built. I appreciate everyones nice words. I have added a video (it is long) that demonstrates the electronics and process of CAD designing the head upgrade along with a bunch of details about this fig:

Holy shit man, that is outstanding. I've lurked the customs board for a long, long time, and I don't think I've ever seen anything like this. Outstanding.


BTW, best picture? Custom Max with his arm around reg'lar Max sporting the smoking gun finger point. Magnificant.

:lol: Wow, thank you so much! This really was a major undertaking (for me atleast) and I cannot explain how good it makes me feel to hear things like that. :-D
