No one commented on this in the classics thread so I made my own. I'm interested in knowing what people think:

Looks nice, but he looks so tiny compared to Cliffjumper though.

It looks good, although the head looks a bit bumpy and screwy. And the blue-paint on the arms and legs looks flat. But other than that, it's really good.

Well, his G1 character was pretty insignificant too!

Nice job matey. I have been looking at the Shortround/Swindle mould. I thought 'hmmm' and then moved on, deciding my KB skills aren't up to it

I feel CJ/BB are the out of places ones, being as big as the seekers.

I can understand bumpy, I had to sculpt it, but screwy? It's based on the cartoon:

Beachcomber never got enough love! Right on.

DUDE!
I have one comment. paint his right hand gold. and get yourself some 1/32 scale deer to place next to him. ok that was two comments.
DO IT!

I literally just watched "the golden lagoon" a few minutes ago and was painting the exact toy...

:shock:

also, I like it when they're sizes differ here and there.
as it goes, it's your shelf.
nice one!

Thanks wheeljack, where in Chicago are you? I'm around Chicago in the burbs nad my favorite character is wheeljack, in another pic I took of my beachcomber custom you can see my g1 wheeljack in the corner. Golden Lagoon is defintely Beachcomber's episode which is why I made this guy. I really love that episode. I did this custom like a year ago though, I just haven't gotten around to posting it anywhere.

Thanks again everyone

Beachcomber looks great. I agree about Classics BB/CJ being a bit big,they look more like minibots when displayed with Alternators than with the other Classics.

Thanks everyone, I wasn't expecting to get any replies so this means a lot to me. Now I feel like continuing with some more g1-ish bashes/repaints.

I'll post an alt mode pic when I get home or sometime tomorrow.
