The Energon Pub

Ok, so some of you who have about as much of a life as I do have noticed that I haven't been annoying the crap out of people as I normally do. Well this is a preview (because I'm too lazy to take more photo's right now) of what I've been up to.

First off we have....





That's right, it's Soundblaster with LaSerbeak.

Secondly is another project that has been running for a while, Predacon Rancour. There's only one pic of him today, because I'm too damn lazy you hear me!

P.S. Sorry if these pics are too big for you, I didn't realise how big they were going to display

Next comes one I've named Dreadnought.

We're almost there! This is a mini decepticon I call Covert.

and lastly, this one was inspired by a comment Doomtron made about his Starscream project and mixed with a bit of Legacy of Kain.
I call him Wraith. He's a Decpticon warrior who fell in battle and though his spark rejoined the matrix he still functions... Sorry, I thought I had the character description better in my head but it sort of fell on its face really didn't it?:oops:
Oh, sorry about the glare in some of these pics by the way, it's the result of a flash, varnish and the camera being point blank.

Anyway, WRAITH!

cool that cybertron defense redalert is menacing. nice work.

I was thinking Doubledealer for the CD Red Alert.

I quite like that mould, but not as soundwave.
I didn't even think of that when I made Soundblaster, just looked at Red Alerts head and general shape and that sealed it.

Same here. I almost made a post asking if this was supposed to be Doubledealer when I read that it was Soundblaster.

They are all fantastic! Really awsome Kitbashes, Especially Soundblaster

Wraith's spark flames are cool. Truly and original idea.

And Dreadnought rocks!

the other named version i cant remember now but it was to different faces to the mould

I think you did a great job on all of them!!!!

Just out of curiosity what did you use for the energy flaring out of wraith? is it just colored cotton or something else?

and what is that minicon/micromaster from?

Nice stuff you've got going here.

Should've gone with Buzzsaw, though...

Got another one of those Terradive minicons who I was going to turn into Buzzsaw, but I wanted to alter the colour scheme slightly, rather than having an orange clone of the lazerbeak. It'll appear soon enough.. probably after I finish reworking my decepticon inferno.

Was Armada Terrorsaur's partner.

You'll notice the original turret is now on the undercarriage of Dreadnoughts nose section.

Cotton wool, stuck on with PVA. Then kind of drybrushed with metallic green and blue paints from the citadel range. Oh, the cotton wool was attached to bits that already had a coat of the metallic blue so it kind of did something that I can't remember how to articulate into the english language suddenly.
Something like glows... I think that was the word I wanted.
But anyway I digress, the whole lot was then topped off with varnish. The advantage of using the cotton wool is that it retains some flexibility even after varnishing, so the head can still be put away in jet mode.
