Finally managed to scrounge together the time to model the helmets for the Kreon combiners though now it would appear that I have 3 more to do...

Not totally happy with Superion as I think it's too wide so I may redo it. The others I'm happy with. Once I redo Superion then it's accessory parts. Those will be the hardest to do without having any toys in hand. I'm starting to feel like all they hype is dying down, the reviews have all been done but the sets still aren't around me nor have my preorders shipped...

Also, for those interested, the deluxe upgrade hands are now available for testing in the shop. I have a set of each on order and I'm just waiting for them to ship.

Those look like fun! All of the helmets convey their respective characters spot-on.

If I may: some of those corners on Devastator look like they might be a tad too sharp at the extreme edges. I like to give a little padding when the angles get tight. It could just be the image, though.

I think I see what you mean and it might be a combo of camera angle and sharp geometry. I'm hoping it will sort itself in the print but I can certainly see the concern. I'll see what I can do about it. I may redo it... Every time I look at Devs I think "panda ears"... lol

I've just ordered the superion helmet and hands, can't wait to get them, so if I were you I'd get going with the next lot of combiners helmets

Also ordered the untested truck part as well, will let you know what it's like, and then paint and send a copy

Awesome! Thanks a lot man

Yeah I think I'm going to have to get a jump on those other helmets... while I'm at it, I might as well to Computron too... Did you see that Nosecone is in the 3rd wave of the blind packs? Makes me think that maybe we'll see the Technobots in wave 3 of the combiners ^__^

That leaves the Stunticons then... anybody else? (that matters that is, sorry Rail Racer)
