Damn! These creatures look so cool! I wasn't sure how this project would turn out, but man, it's looking damn good! I kinda miss the unified color scheme concept, but this looks great.

Actually, that's not far from the truth anyway - Nautilator (the lobster) loves water, but he just can't function in it...

These are looking better and better. What's the idea about making a Cybershark into Tentakil, though - Are you talking about making him into a shark too, or are we talking major league squidbash - in which case I'll be really interested to see how you pull that off...

thanks again for the input it realy helps the process along
im using clawjaw as tentakil until i make the new one, but he is about half the size of the rest,

the idea for tentakil is basicaly using the frame of cybershark that can form a leg, pulling off all the shark bits and his transformation is similor to clawjaw, but he would be in scale with the rest so could be both a leg and an arm, i also need a cybershark for parts to finsh scalor so it works out well again

i had an idea for tentacles, using pipe cleaners or the wire that holds our transfomrers in there boxes, sculpting a tentacle skeleton on them with putty and covering them in latex, it'l be fun to try out either way

I really like your uses of the crab arm on that weapon thing, it's kinda like metroplex's axe. but I was thinking wouldn't it be really cool if you replace the rampage missle launch with a trident. you know with the whole under sea thing i think it might work.

Sculpy makes a flexible version of their compound, that, instead of becoming rock hard after baking, becomes like rubber, or ?Bendy? so you can mke toys with it.

Sorry if this is repeating something I missed but the sixth seacon was the weapon for piranacon so why not make clawjaw some type of rifle?

He wants to go with the original concept that all six members can be a limb or a weapon though.

haha we are working like the borg here with all these ideas being thrown arround, its great.
il keep an eye out for the bendy sculpy i havent seen that, but would it be poseable,
it allhelps ive been thinkign abotu weapons since these have bene bought as junkers and didnt come with any parts,
i dunno if the 6th member can be a gun because the sholders might not be able to hold the weight but il test it out when they are all done , i thort maybe make a trident made from 6 individual weapons, kinda like the power rangers

I've never used the stuff myself, but theoretically, if you made a wireframe and applied the Sculpy round it, then once it was baked it should be poseable as long as the Sculpy layer isn't too thick. It'd probably take some experimentation, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Well, the stuff I?m tali\king about is made by Sculpy, but is fully flexible after baking. Instead of being hard, it has the consistancy of the type of plastic used to make Bendies. I would have to go to Michael?s to give you the exact name.

Postby Ramrider » Sun Jul 16, 2006 5:34 pm

Oh, I know exactly what you're referring to; I've seen it in my local craft shops. But having never actually used it, I don't know from experience how much of a stretch factor it has.
Bear in mind that flexible substances become less so the thicker they are - if you bend an eraser about 5mm thick, you'll be able to fold it pretty much in half, but if it's closer to 10-15mm thick, odds are it won't bend as far before it just cracks.

But yeah, considering the tentacles wouldn't need to be that thick, I would've thought it'd perfectly suited to the job.

I?ve never used it myself either, since I doubt my grandmother would be too happy about me baking the stuff in her oven. :roll:

Never used the bendy sculpy, but have used the regular. Stunk to high hell and burned my eyes from what I remember. :( But the final product was very nice and worth it. :P

Sweet! Is the upper body a dark green? Also, I hope you paint the barrels on the cannons silver, just to seperate it from the dark green.

Love this guy, he looks like a genuine sea monster. Kick ass dude.
