This is jumping the basics even though I didn't finish my Punch/CounterPunch kitbash. But I'm also working on a Doubledealer KO. This one also had the doublespy feature removed. Leaving only his Autobot mode. Here is the progress thus far.

The Bionicle pieces will be integrated to give him posability and more free movements.

If anyone had pictures of the actual Chestplate, I'd like pictures (side, front, back, top, inside) so then I can build a scratch built one. This KO has no Chestplate. And if anyone has the pics, I'd like to have the exact measurements of the chestplate. Thanks.

I'm going to do something about that damned belt.

Thanks for all the links guys. But I was wondering if you could take pictures of the chest plate/blast shield in section draft, orthographical, or tech draft view points with the photos edited to show the exact measurements of the thing. I'm trying to make an exact version out of styrene.

The width from the left arm to the right arm is 4 centimeters. All I need to see is the inside of the shield/plate and know how far it juts out.

From the looks of things, it looks like the shield juts out to the point of his gear mechanism that makes his head "nod". But in other pictures, it shows that the shield is a little beyond that point. Still need the pictures with the exact measurements and the details of the insides.

Just curious, but what did you use to fill those gaps? it kinda looks like green stuff but I have tried using green stuff to fill gaps and it wont work for me.

Paint, more modding and then painting the whole thing, I'll be finally set.

by **Six Two One** » Tue May 15, 2007 5:11 am

Build the blast shield, give his arms some posability, paint him and I'll be all done.

LOOK OUT!!! HE'S THRUSTING THIS WAY!!!

by **TM Devastator** » Tue May 15, 2007 7:55 pm

He's looking great so far!

by **Ramrider** » Tue May 15, 2007 8:20 pm

'Course, it looks more like a lunge to me...

Heh, I didn't even think to comment on that. Doubledealer says he can do the pelvic thrust, but he's not doing it and I don't really think he can do it right now.
