NOT BLUDGE!

It is in fact everybodies favourite purple rampaging dinosaur .... CARNOSAUR!

When I picked up the knock-off Sludge I was going to use for Bludge, he also came off with a knock-off Grimlock. A PURPLE knock-off Grimlock. I took one look at it and said "That's Carnosaur".

So with a bit of help from Dynamax and a little bit of painting later purple Grimlock had become Carnosaur.

And after a nearly two week trip Carnosaur arrived in Canada earlier this week to the house of Mr Dynamax who as I post this is meeting up with Carnosaur to deliver his name sake to him.

Did I mention that Carnosaur knew nothing about this and it's actually one big suprise for him? :grin:

Anyway, I suppose I should get on with the pics huh? Before I do I would like to point out the crappyness of the pics. It didn't matter what I tried the purple kept coming out blue. I consulted Ryan himself and he gave me some tips on what to do but unfortunately I didn't have a camera that could do what needed to be done, but I assure you he is in fact the purple we've all seen.

So on with the show!

And I haven't forgotten you Whisper, I just need to find some time for a photoshoot before he heads off.

Glad you like it dude. It's hard putting together someone's character without consulting them. I'm sure Dynamax will tell you just how annoying I was to be constantly pushing him for thoughts and comments with each update I did.

Lookin' good.

I guess the Bubbatron kitbash is out of the question with the troubles you mentioned a few months back.

Bubbatron or Mini-Bubbatron?

And what problems? Only thing I seem to recall saying is losing a few screws and parts off G1 Brawl who I was going to use.

you know what would be good? A Legends Movie Brawl. Cute little pink tank. That would be perfect for him.

Nice find Burn. Where did you get it? Doesn't look bad for a knock off either(and it does look purplish on my screen too).

Finally a Barney we can all enjoy... because he can blow things up!

E-Bay. It came with Sludge and Snarl, I only wanted Sludge because I knew if I kept waiting for a G1 original Sludge i'd be waiting forever to find it cheap (low and behold, I snared a large lot of TF's the other day which looks to have a nice good Sludge in it and it was for a cheap price)

And looks can be deceiving. Believe me. While the KO Sludge is pretty good quality, Grimlock wasn't. I did have to do a couple of running repairs and even then some things don't line up, not because they're broken, but because of how it was manufactured.

At one stage I felt like scrapping it completely because I felt it was too junky to give to Ern, but by the time I was finished I decided it wouldn't fall apart at the drop of a hat (word of warning Ern, don't put him in a hat and drop it, in fact don't drop it at all)

But hey, at the end of the day, Ern likes it, I was happy with it, and one of the more well known HMW characters gets his own kitbash so it's all good. :grin:
