The head looks great. But what really amazes me is the chest reigon. It looks really detailed.

by **OdeeanRDeathshead** » Sat Mar 05, 2005 4:03 am

that is a nice chest, belive me I spend a lot of my time thinking about chests

. I guess the legs are coming soon. Don't get stuck in the trap that gets me a lot of times. Work out the correct height for legs before you make them. I did a VT-1D training valkary from clay by eye but when the thing went together he looked like a midget :lol:

Are you going to weigh down some of the lower parts to make the standing more stable?

Nope. I'm going one part at a time and making sure everything fits right.

Luckly Megs has some bulky feet bottoms as well as wide legs so he should stand ok.

I recomend to add a good coat of epoxy inside the feet, and some inside the legs to give it more weight for stability

Otherwise, the project is coming along nicely! hope you dont never sell this one :p

Well, that's something I'll have to figure out as I come to it.

Like I said, I might not need it.

Wow. I can't even imagine how much planning you must have put into this. I think this is another 'how to' in the making...

TFmaster you should really think about building cool TF figures for Hasbro or Takara! I love your work. It's as always - perfect!
Can't wait to see the finished result.

don't say that all loud! It could cause Tfmaster to work for hasbro/takara and we would have perfect toys, leaving no options for kitbashing!

Ha ha.

Anyhoo, it wouldn't happen anyway, I've tried sending work pics and links to my site and never got one interested reply back. I'd love to have a real job doing this but as of right now, it's just my hobby.

Too late.Someone else started on one before I. (But his is Alt Sized while mine is MP Prime size.)

I just hope to see more people doing this in the future man. It's kinda fun when you gain the patience to do it.

I'm working on his waist and theighs right now.He'll be done soon.Better catch up.JK..lol

@_@ make sure you do a tf sequence for your final gallery lol. I can't for the life of me figure out how you get the shoulders onto the opposite sides for tank mode.

It looks great so far! Hopefully my Prime'll look as good.

by **Pepie** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 2:23 am

Oh man that looks VERY impressive... excellent work and yay for the first altmode pics!

Dude can you do us a favor when shooting some new pics ?
Put a wellknown bot besides him for size comparison! He's big aint he??

At first, I thought that the Decepticon symbol was a raised indentation thing, and almost died of a heart attack. Since it looks to be a decal, you'll have to settle with me being mighty impressed.

As for the transformation, I think I have it down, but I can't be sure until I see the rest of him. Either way, it's amazing work, and going pretty quickly, too.

...oh, and slight grammar correction from the resident historical linguist: "Ask and ye shall recieve."

by **Pepie** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 4:37 am

Great TFman! Thanks, and yeah.. looks big

Darn man.. it's about 4 in the morning at yours.. been busy again?
Now about the green round 'engine' in his right side of the chest, what's in it? Or have you just painted it with green lemon like paint ?
It looks great!

by **TwV** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 5:33 am

PRICELESS! :shock:

If JAF's Mirage could do $510 at e-bay imagine what this Ultimate (what else to call it

) WW Megatron could do... (eh..no, don't sell it!;))

Never imagined it could look this slick.
It sure shows that you've been investing a lot of time working out the geometry of the bot.

by **TM JAF** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 12:41 pm

That's what's blowin me away. The geometry of all the parts...exact!

pura perfecci?n!!!

by **ImperiaxPrime** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 1:13 pm

Did you mold a G1 Megs gun barrel for that gold barrel? If so that is really friggin cool. If not... well, it's still really friggin cool.

I thought I had the transformation figured out, but then I looked more closely and now I have no clue.

*opens mouth-jaw drops 50 ft-tongue rolls out like a red carpet*

enough copying Tex Avery here

wow, TFMastah, thats beautyfull

question: why start painting when you are still building parts? I would find that illogical, but hey, if it works for you, go ahead

TFmaster has a patience problem.

by **OdeeanRDeathshead** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 4:38 pm

It looks good and I like to see the pictures head on like that. I do not have much experience with tww but the head looks a little small when I compare it to the few pics I have.

how are the tracks going to be put on?

Actually, the head is near perfect for it's size and it is the size I wanted it.

His body is suppose to look bulky.It'll look better as soon as I finnish putting the collor areas around the head.
