Outback was always one of my favourite mini-bots back in the G1 days,so i thought i would give him a Movie update.
I based his vehicle mode on the Scorpion Desert Patrol vehicle with a TOW missile launcher.
Used Movie brawls head & made a few minor re-sculpts.
All other parts were from a Jeep kit wich happend to have the Tow launcher on it.
Outback was painted with Games workshop paints (Mainly Bubonic Brown,Dark flesh,Dwarf Bronze & boltgun metal)
Alt mode pics as soon as the varnish cures.
more pics here..

Wow, Brawl's head looks good on that body. Great details throughout, any alt mode pics? Some weathering would look good on that color. Nice job. ;)^

Agreed! That tan just looks great on that mold.
maybe some green on the eyes?

Great custom! I just love and not just because I had a G1 Outback. :grin:

But I wish you used a darker shade, it almost looks like yellow. I thought it was a Movie Swindle. :grin:

WOW!
I was looking for a repaint use for that mold (my ones joints are getting loose & I was contemplating buying a second), congrats on a great job.
I was thinking movie Beachcomber, getting rid of the guns & giving it a thinner BB's head.
