This is a commissioned project for a friend and long-time, repeat customer. Jazz is based off his G1 appearance, and fits in well with the Masterpiece line. Jazz is non-transforming, but his articulation, proportions and details are my best. The majority of the robot parts were scratch-built using styrene and epoxy sculpt. The car parts come off a Porsche 935 model kit part made by Tamiya, as well as the majority of the graphics/decals on him (wow, some of those were difficult) Some decals were hand painted to fit and match up to the new curves given to those parts. The arms started as MP seeker arms with styrene additions/modifications. The lower legs were almost entirely scratch-built. Jazz's head came from a meister alternator. His visor lights up with a blue LED which is wired to a small battery pack and switch on his back. 1 small screw to access and replace those batteries if needed. He also has his trusty g1 style pistol, built from a variety of weapons in my arsenal.
His articulation includes :
- ball jointed head
- fully articulated shoulders
- swivel at bicep
- fully articulated elbows
- hands articulated and swivel at wrist
- car doors on hinges
- waist articulation
- full articulation w/ tight ball joints at hips
- swivel at knee
- full articulation at knee
- swivel feet

I don't even have words to describe how impressive this is. Outstanding work. This Jazz is just pure win and the light up visor is a really nice touch.
