Thanks imperiax

Sweet that looks cool! Who is it? (sorry ) and what is his altmode?

It's the cool looking dude with the transforming sword! Wee!

the legionair

colors won't look exacltly like this but close enough. Starscream arms weren't working very well but I'm going o try and mod the shoulder pieces and still use them. Maybe do it like some gumdam models work.


edit:

you know the more I look at him, the more I want to give him open hands, a basketball and goal, and paint him like a harlem globe trotter Skinny boy! He's as tall as screamer.

Man, I don't know what I'm talking about. You needed something hot, I was throwing out ideas. I was also going to suggest an ice pick and a lighter, but the heat isn't constant.

Well I've decided not to worry about damaging the ravage head now. that suckers coming off tonight wether it wants to or not. Even if I have to cut it off.

Since that didn't work, why not make your own Sodering Tool?

http://dansworkshop.com/SMT%20Hot%20Air%20Pencil.shtml

That link shows you what you need and how to do it, its very inexpensive, and you're already good at making things, thus it shouldn't be much of a problem for you.

Oh! Oh! Use a saw!

Pretty sweet! I haven't noticed them being that expensive here though so i'll probably just by one. and ifones in the electronics department are fairly pricy, I can get a wood burner cheap at good old wally world (walmart).

Sodering Tools, and Wood burners are pretty much the same thing right? Just Wood burners have different heads on em..

Are ou doing the heated tip on pin trick, I've heard of, to get the head off?

Once i get paid Friday I might go and get one. But yes that was the intention. I may keep my patience about me a few more days. i have to work on another project I have to have out by this Sunday. Lots and lots of measuring and Sewing. And this time I'm using Washing machine safe cloth

I was wondering, what colours do you want that Seclaz character to be?

I have all the necessary parts for making it, all I need now is some epoxy putty. I'm trying to do justice to your design.

The seclaz were Ra88 and Iskanders idea if i recall. I'd ask them see what they think. But maybe some boltgun metal and some metalic forest greens. possibly some orange highlights or something.

I luckily have junker EVA 01, and EVA 02 action figures, I didn't realize how frail they were until too late.

I plan to modify both of EVA 01's heads to get both the closed and open mouth concepts you've done, and the EVA 02's main body shall be the base. Also I have a rather large General Grevious, that I disliked its unarticulated legs, thus I've taken hem apart so I shall make them articulated. I have plenty of Bioncle Joints to work with aswell.

Though I don't have the same arms as you suggested, I do have some replacements, which are close to the same shape, I'll construct them from the nosecone of a DIY Estates Rocket kit I picked up at an old Hobby show.

The reason I'm explaining in such detail is because I lack a good quality camera, and I'm trying to paint the picture.

The colors that Lord Loqi suggested are fine, although the organic parts are yellow and green; think a wasp-like exoskeleton with green scaly muscle tissue.

Blingbling!

I'm considering selling my collection of figures. I have evert one of them sept for unit 02 (red one). I plan on selling some of my stuff to make room for new stuff and have money for the botcon coming up. I'm having problems finding stuff I'm willing to part with though

FINALY! I was able to do a sketch of Mazer.

His body is from Energon Mirage. I removed those two long pieces that make his alt mode look like a boat. I also removed his windows. It makes his alt mode seem a little bigger compared to Mirage's. His head is from Galaxy Force Demolishor.

My next task is to figure out a good color scheme.

Niiice!
Who's gonna build him, you?

Not quite sure yet. It'll be awhile no matter what. The hard part's getting ahold of a Mirage or Dreadwing.

Came up with some colors for Mazer. Would like some opinions on it.

Oh... Sweet Gryph! Like the G1 sweep-style coloration.

Yup, fits him really good!
