Waiting for Takara<s superion, so in the meantime, I got Powerglide and Dragstrip (will get Hasbro's Menasor). Having some fun with them.

You just can't resist, can you? I know exactly how you feel.

Oooh, so many custom possibilities...

I know right?

I made LioKaiser out of Kre-O (along with each individual character's robots/vehicle modes) along with Blacker, Braver, and Laster (robot modes only, no combined mode). They didn't come out too well since, at the time, I was limited with what parts I could use. Now I think I'll take another crack at it!

This is how I tried it before. Jallguar was easy since Kre-O Jarugar is the same guy! :lol:

Instead of tiny Kre-O house, I made a tiny Kre-O throne. Perfect for Grimlock! I could probably do better with Lego, but I like keeping my building blocks separate.

Officially, that Predaking is a voyager. In reality, it's an ULTRA class. Also, it's the best Prime Predaking toy, period. I wish they would have done the same with Prime Cyberverse Commander Hardshell.

Yeah, that Voyager Predaking is so awesome! I'm just afraid of how brittle it is! One of the rectangular pegs from the legs already broke off in the back, so now I'm super gentle when I handle him.

Tried to make a Kre-O Beast Wars Inferno. The ant mode didn't do too well, but it's not like most of the other Kre-O dudes look like what they're supposed to be anyway.

The robot mode looks much better!

Know what? that ant mode is WAY superior to the robot mode. Mainly because the ant is it's own original thing, and GOOD looking. The bot mode is just an average minifig with a gun so, yawn.

Who's head is that? It's perfect for Inferno.

Silversnout. One of the blind-bagged guys from the Age of Extinction collection 1 set.

Goldbug's weapon things look terrible as weapons. They make fantastic jetboots though.

This was also a pain to set up.

Looks good. Smooth and creamy.

Stiiiiiillll trying this out.

Minitron is vaguely unimpressed.

I had a set up like that, but my main problem was shadows. I never found a way to limit them.

Website · by **Fires_Of_Inferno** » Sun Feb 08, 2015 9:58 am

I was told I should probably make a lightbox for my pictures, and I did plan to, but I sort of got attached to the wood paneling to be honest. Yeah, it's kinda limiting when it comes to taking some pictures, sometimes it messes with the shot because of how glossy it is, but I think it's worth it to try and work around. But that's only how I feel about it personally. It would make more sense to use a background that's blank, but I don't wanna!

Also: Wood paneling is classy!

News Credits: 6188 · by **Va'al** » Sun Feb 08, 2015 11:33 am

I like my red background and your wood panelling - but I do agree that it can get in the way!

WJ88, the best thing for shadow removal would be a lightbox. Or a diffused cold, rather than warm, light, so no shadows are being projected directly onto the background. I'm going to try experimenting a little further this week. :-?
