just lots of sculpting and painting left i think, im still undecided on colours, weapons and if tentakil is needed, clawjaw would make a nice backpack or weapon i think but il leave that for furture development once he is finished

everything looks like its coming along well, do you plan on building up the rampage/snaptrap legs? they are the only thing throwing off the look.

by **piranacon** » Sat Jun 10, 2006 10:05 am

il see how they look when the turtle feet go on i hope that should help it out, but if not i dont think it looks too mad, i probably should have built snaptrap out of something else but its working out

im aiming for something like the turtle on the left

this mornings update on the sculping, overbite was based on pictures of jaws, still needs a bit of work but im happy with it, snap trap still has a long way yet i just made a base so i know he can transform with the mods ,

cool

Love the sculpt work on the shark head there. Loveing this thing, hopefully the turtle parts give some better bulk to the Rampage legs though, way to skinny in the earlier pics.

heheheh. he's got a "little turtle" poking out.

oh, and nice work making it into a new transformation.
but GAH! the beautiful shell has been totally obliterated! I wish when people made a part totally new molding that they would not scrap existing parts that don't contribute anything other than maybe structure. well, and joints maybe. but still... all the beautiful molding detail GONE.
I want to do a kitbash where the shell of BW Rampage comes apart, but I can't bring myself to cut into it. I really need to be sure where I want it cut, because I have to start all over if it doesn't turn out right. I also have to think of structural integrety.

i still need to finish the head, , im building that up bit by bit, and putting a light in the back for its visor and faction symbol, other then that he is nearly ready for painting

:D
hope everyone is pleased with it as much as i am

ffing cool...

by **Ramrider** » Thu Jun 22, 2006 4:32 pm

Incredible...
Can't wait to see this done. And I'd be really interested to see how these guys all fit together.

by **tintin** » Thu Jun 22, 2006 8:48 pm

Holy crap dude, that's sweet... What I really wanna see, though, is how the main/center bot turns out.

Wanna see his alt mode and all...

by **Dark_Fool** » Fri Jun 23, 2006 12:52 am

verrrr nice

by **ultramagnus1986** » Sat Jun 24, 2006 6:20 am

What material did you use for the chest? It looks great and I can't wait to see the final product!

by **TM Megatron** » Sat Jun 24, 2006 8:57 am

indeed, it looks amazing! cant wait for it to be finished

by **RavageX-9** » Sat Jun 24, 2006 11:12 pm

heheh. combined mode looks pretty good. the head looks like he has a mustash. heheheh. :> nautical pirate/tentacle mustash.
my memory of this project's details has faded... I hope you're at least going to repaint Depthcharge... and maybe one of the sharks, so it looks different.

this is looking very nice

by **TM Devastator** » Sun Jun 25, 2006 11:57 pm

It's looking better and better. I too love the face-sculpt. It a fresh twist on the original head.

by **piranacon** » Wed Jun 28, 2006 2:54 pm

thanks again guys your realy pushing me forward to getting this guy finished this week

still a lot of work to do,if your wondering whats going on with the second head, its just a mask for a battle mode i had planned, that still needs more sculpting

more pics over the weekend hopefuly,

BW piranacon in constructocn colors!

by **tentagil** » Wed Jun 28, 2006 8:39 pm

That is kinda odd. But the paint work looks great. I think I would have gone with a more aquatic like color scheme. Maybe a lighter green with dark blues and some light purples. But still looks good.

by **Tramp** » Wed Jun 28, 2006 9:57 pm

Not bad, but I agree with Tentagil, why didn?t you use the traditional Seacon colors?

by **piranacon** » Thu Jun 29, 2006 2:50 am

i didnt think the origional pink and blue would work with beast wars, i was trying to think what would work for all of them and started with snaptrap, i couldnt see snaptrap being anything other then 2 shades of green
but il probably put sone blue on them still
