Ditto!

yep, the head is way too tiny.

So I'm assuming he's locked into the squatting position? Sorry to ask that again.

No, but with all of the bulk that the only position he looks good in.

after a hard day ripping 'bots to shreds, sometimes a 'cons just gotta take a rest on the nearest paint can he can find!!!

I was thinking of something a bit more lued (potty joke, Dev hasn't made one yet lol)

but this comment's just as good.

Question. Do the heads fold together or is does one replace the other like the knee joints replace the alt heads for the two legs

WOW, this is gonna be great, Overlord...

What? You really need to ask questions better. I barely decifered it.

Anyhoo, the Mensor head clips onto the head of MM ala the original. I like do homages so sue me....

He can stand on his own but I really don't want to display him without support. He does have alot of weight on top....and it would suck for it to fall over and break now...

TFM

Very cool!

MM looks pretty good. I can't wait to see the Alt mode!

Wondering hod the legs and arms attach. Did you make something that fits over the ball joints on the neck?

I have no idea what you mean...the head's balljoint is actually plugged into a Drilled hole into the pannel.

Anyhoo, ask and you shall receive!



Most of the hard work is done....now just for lots of detailing to be done.

He should prob be finnished this weekend but i'll say he'll be finnished by the end of next week fully.

Then all i have to do is finnish the sword and gun and then repaint the two Prowl's and do some paint detailing on the arm guys.

This is ganna be the best thing I ever made IMO. But then I haven't finnished WW Megatron yet either so it's ganna be a close if not a tie.

Hope you guys all like em so far. Yes, i know about the open spaces. It's part of the detailing I'm finnishing up tonight. It will all be closed off and boxier next time you see em.

For now. Enjoy!

Nope. They are being redone because I sold those two a long time ago.

That's too bad. I loved the breakdown you made. Any intent to give the new one the same broken glass treatments?

OLY SHITH!

Now that's what I'm talking about. Looks great.

No. The finnished product will look as protine as it can for the Contest at Botcon. I did love the old battle damage though....

The Motormaster head looks a little small, but thats about the only negative I could possibly say about this. It is simply amazing. Incredible job man.

Awesome man. The trailer for Motor Master looks a bit short but I don't think anything can be done about that. Are you going to do anything about the visible metal hinges too or you going to just paint over it?

Yea, I hate to agree but the trailer is a bit short and at this point there really isn't anything I can do about it. I'd have to rebuild over half of it to make it fit if I did.

I'm ganna do my best to secure and hide the hinges but as of right now it's to make sure everything is connected properly before I finalize all the details. I'm trying to make sure everything is tightly connected with very little seems showing but there is only so much I can do right now.

Wish me luck. Most of him should be finalized by the end of this weekend.

TFM

looking kick ass!!!

I don't think the trailer looks particularly short; certainly shorter than the G1 equivalent, but still plenty long enough to suit him.

This is looking better and better. I'm loving the way you've incorporated the cab as both Motormaster's and Menasor's feet, without either looking out of scale. And that also means that you haven't got silly purple components lying around all citrus-fruit-like when the guys are separated. Do the Menasor hands, head and sword also have somewhere to hide when they're not otherwise in use?

Working on it...

Kickass. Too bad you didn't give him translucent windows and detailed interior. j/k

Looks like it worked out pretty good.
You probably should have used silver metal hinges instead of gold, since you can't cover up the round part very well.
Why do the hinges between his legs and the cab seem backwards in all but the vehicle mode pictures? is that for stability? can they be swivelled around to allow proper articulation?
It's too bad there's absolutely no way to store the hands in the cars. but then you would have designated right and left arms, not that it matters much.
I think someone was asking how the [CARS as limbs] attach, not how Menasor's head is attached.
