Thanks. I should have the one more set of final pics when I complete all the rest of the little details.

That Swindle is awesome work!! You should have two of the car kits - one to cut up (how'd you cut the panels so clean??) and one to leave as a car. If anyone asks you to transform the robot, just take it, turn your back, pretend to transform, then show them the car kit.

Awesome job, though. In stage 3, couldn't really tell there's lego skeleton under there.

Thanks. Hiding as much of the Legos as possible was a big goal on this project.

Actually, your idea of having 2 models is not bad at all. Having the bot and the aly mode would make for a nice display piece. I just bought a 2nd GTO kit, too. Maybe I'll follow your suggestion.

Awesome work! I started from your finished work up to the basic frame. Inever suspected it was a Lego.

Thanks glad you liked it.

Yep, I tried to hide as much of the Lego-ness as possible.

Ma you should make a mold of that and the Soundy one, and sell them over ebay!
I just love these!
They look a lot better than the Robotreplicas and the Transforming ones!
Timshin you should open up a factory and after 2 years of business buy Hasbro!
