Nicely done. What material was used to build the inner workings?

Cool! I can't wait to see it painted. The face and head give me a kind of... wierd vibe, but it's good wierd. I really like it so far

Well done dude! You managed to turn an actual VW Bug into Bumblebee without making him look fatter than Energon Prime! :grin:

Only thing I find odd is his upper legs, but hell, once he's painted up I doubt i'll even notice! :grin:

And technically, can we call this one "Glyph"?

That thing is amazing!
What is that stuff that looks like old sticky tape on his arms and legs?

by **Nujevad** » Tue Sep 04, 2007 7:20 am

Great custom. From the looks of it, you used some kind of transparent plastic to cover the endoskeleton, How did you make it?

Great work,I'm planning to convert the Classics Bumblebee into a VW in the near future and I'll be pleased if I can get it looking half as good.

Very nice and creative. can't wait to see him complete!

Thanks for the comments! It's made from some cheap beetle car (scale 1/32 i think) and transparent polistyrene, and the endoskeletons its made of aluminium. Currently i was working on the fences and lights... and the IDW battle mask. The eyes are iluminated also.

cheers!!

How did you design and make the skeleton and the whole transformation process?
