Whoa...

That is looking really, really good so far.

Loving it. ^^

And, um... Are you going to repaint him to having the same colors as Bumblebee? Or are you planning on leaving him "as is"?

Anyways... Great work.

hi shade
thank you for your kind work
you are the first one also to reply to me

i am not sure yet what i will do, but i think i will not paint him, i am not good in painting (T_T)
but i will make more modification on this custom , he is way far from done

but one thing is for sure , i will finish him, and no more tape on him!!!

Very nice stuff...

Here's a possibility that won't require much painting. How about giving him a bit of a face mod, and turning him into Searchlight?

by **alpha_alternator** » Fri Feb 03, 2006 6:47 am

thank you all for your kind work

by **alpha_alternator** » Fri Feb 03, 2006 6:55 am

i like the name bumblemagnus!!!!
and i will put more picture of my custom transformers altmode pics later on like Pepie ask me to

i might considerer turning him to Searchlight like Ramrider propose to me

I hope you say yes lol!

Looks pretty keen so far. Are you going to fill in the shoulders with extra parts or something else? there was one model someone did (didn't transform though) out of a gundam model and a model race bike. You might be able to add some leftover model pieces from the engine that came with the model if your not using it fro the gun.

and wlcome to the board

by **primezimm** » Fri Feb 03, 2006 5:53 pm

It looks great. I can't wait to see it when you've finished. Searchlight sounds like an excellent choice. My oldest boy wants to try to make an alt Bumblebee.

by **alpha_alternator** » Fri Feb 03, 2006 6:39 pm

to answer your question Lord_Loqi
i am not sure if i will fill in the shoulders with extra parts
if the shoulder are to big , i think i won't be able to transform him into a car, but i can try and i am sure he will look even better, thank you for your suggestion

i wish good luck to your son primezimmto, customizing bumblebee will be hard but possible

thank you again for all your reply
i really appreciated

Great job

and using sideswipe and smokescreen, looks good.

i've had some problems with my bt bumblebee, had to turn him into a bt goldbug.

i'd love to see some closer pics of the shoulder and feet. they look really well done.

Awesome job!

by **tintin** » Fri Feb 03, 2006 8:05 pm

Sideswipe? I don't see anything from him... If there is, please point it out.

by **alpha_alternator** » Fri Feb 03, 2006 8:09 pm

here is a new picture
my custom with alternator decepticharge head
please take a look

by **alpha_alternator** » Fri Feb 03, 2006 8:12 pm

hi
i did not use any sideswipe part for this custom , only smookescreen and more other stuff

if you see the back of this custom toy and how i transform him into a car, i myself don't believe how i did it ( picture will come later on)

more pics to come
more close up also

by **Bumblebee1251** » Fri Feb 03, 2006 9:26 pm

sorry, in one pic the legs looked almost like swipes.
my bad

by **TM doomtron** » Fri Feb 03, 2006 9:50 pm

i vote bumblebee. and great work cant wait to see more.

by **Tramp** » Sat Feb 04, 2006 1:27 am

Bumblebee would be best. As far as painting goes, it really isn?t that hard to do since Bumblebee has a very simple colorscheme?yellow with some black. All you need to do is completely disassembel him, mask off the windows and other areas you don?t want painted, and either airbrush or spray-paint each piece the proper color. Then just let the pieces dry completely and reassemble.
