Hi everyone,

I sincerely apologize in the long delay in showing off the vehicle modes for these customs. Better late than never, right? =)

Enjoy!

Take care,

ALT Trailbreaker

ALT Hoist

And last but not least.......Both of the shown w/ MP Optimus Prime and the custom trailer w/ electronics built and designed by Anemis of Marks Projects.

pretty slick.
are the wings on Hoist on balljoints, or just loose in vehicle mode? that rear view they're very nonsymetrical.

Awesome. Hoist is my favorite--you did a great job with him.

Fantastic work - like the group shot with Prime!

Tasty stuff. I'm curious how the wings attach on Hoists's 'bot mode, and what happens to his hook, too. The head's spot on. It looks quite small though - is that a G1 Hoist head?

GOOD NEWS for fans and collectors!

I have acquired the parts necessary to make duplicates of the Hoist and Trailbreaker customs, so I will be listing the both of these on Ebay tomorrow morning. I know this will make a lot of people happy from all the different boards based on the feedback I have received over these two customs.

Keep your eyes peeled tomorrow, because they'll be going on Ebay shortly after I wake up!

Take care,

That silver you used on the forearms turned out really pretty. That's a hard color to make look good, at least for me.

Bravo!

that is a nemesis prime used for trailbreaker, right? You didn't go out and repaint a prime black for that one, did you?

by **Sodawilly** » Mon Feb 12, 2007 1:13 am

Both figures were made from ALT Primes........No Nemesis Primes here. I did the whole paint scheme. In reference to the silver I used, that is Tamiya Chrome Silver spray paint. And you're right, that silver does come out looking good. I HIGHLY recommend it. You'll love the results. I use nothing but Tamiya paints. They're more expensive, but I think the results speak a 1,000 words.

Take care,

-Gregg
