Lemme guess! It's the pink Acura in you gigantic avatar.

RP, Maximum avatar size is 130 x 135 pixels. Your's is 640 x 480.

Gotta shrink it down man. It really screws up the boards.

Other than that, looks good. Can't wait fo rbot pics.

I deleted your avatar. It was seriously borking the board layout.

I don?t think he had meant it to be an avatar, but I could be wrong.

No it was not supposed to be my avatar. I've said it a bunch and I'll say it again. I'm new at all of this. Forums, message boards, uploading, downloading, computers. I'm trying real hard to follow directions, but I guess I'm flunking :cry:

. Is the avatar the tiny pic to the left? How do I get one? and How do I download a simple small pic to a post?

First you need to get the pic on an online server like Photobucket, or AOL Picture Center. Then you use the tags [img]drag%20and%20drop%20your%20image%20url[/img] the final tag will look like this (without spaces)?

and will appear like this when finally posted:

well duh!

I guess it's that easy. thanks

WOH! I like! Take robot mode pics!

Sat Aug 19, 2006 10:09 pm

Pretty cool looking....must see more!

Let me guess, trying to do an Alternatoirs Arcee? I think the only real problem with using that mold is that the robot mode is going to be too broad and masculine.

Well Unless You see a fem shaped car that could be re-shelled....Maybe an Mitsubshi Eclipse (Thing has a big rear end/Ass might be perfect for a fem car

Sorry. Have to wait a little longer on the bot-mode pics. She's finished sort of. I have to strip the paint and redo. I got a bad batch of paint that took 4 days to cure. In which time I Transformed to many times and the paint came off in various places and on my fingers. oops.
Also had another hitch. Last weekend lightning. zzzzzzzttt. crash. Lost all my programs, but not my files. Had to get a new modem and some cables and maybe a new garage door opener motor. Oh well. Pics coming soon

That's quite a combo of bad luck! looking forward to the finished pics!

She is done. see more in the gallery as soon as Dev puts it there. I just sent the pics. It may be a day or 2.

wow,that looks really good,i had the worry with prowl's chest that it would make it too unfeminine.i am very pleasantly surprised

News Credits: 1 · Sun Aug 27, 2006 3:23 pm

I was too. the shoulders are a little wide, but the sleekness of the legs counteracts it I think.

Sun Aug 27, 2006 4:58 pm

Wow! Check out the headlights on that one! I'd like to get under the hood and see what she's got! :shock:

That looks amazing! I have to agree that I thought she would turn out very masculine but you did a great job!

Here is the "convertible" pic

Sun Aug 27, 2006 6:54 pm

Looks pretty good, not having the mold myself I have to ask, is there anyway to push the shoulders in any. Just think it might help the overall look a little. If not its still a great looking figure.

See the way the tires are angled down a little. They do that and straight out horizontal. Straight out they look like football shoulder pads. Without extensive mods that is as narrow as I can make them. Now, another car like maybe a 69 corvette might have the curves needed, but that's a whole other thing.

Sun Aug 27, 2006 7:57 pm

on the arm if you trim the part that hits the hinge of the rollpans you will get about an 8th inch on each arm. just a miner mod.

Sun Aug 27, 2006 9:31 pm

looks nice!

One thing if shes gonna be a Convertable why keep the Hatchback?? take it off level the legs to be flush with the car and she might look a bit better in Bot mode, not to mention Car mode.

Mon Aug 28, 2006 10:54 am

I still feel that that mold is too broad in the upper torso, and thus, too masculine in appearance. The head doesn?t look right either

Mon Aug 28, 2006 11:50 am

A targa top RSX, interesting idea.

Not sure of any way to "narrow" her up. though you might try some light/dark paint tricks on the legs to make them look a bit "hippier", or paint more of the lower legs for more of a boots look.

Me though, I'd probably leave it how it is.

Is a nice looking custom and would most likely be more then we'd get from hasbro or takara. :twisted:
