MP Ironhide V3
Posted: Fri Feb 22, 2008 6:17 pm
Well it's been a loooong time (and many attempts) but I've finally put together a kitbash of Ironhide that I feel does the G1 character justice. The shell is a mold of the super hard to find vintage
Nitto 1/24 kits. It's not perfect and has numerous imperfections, but hey, Ironhide is an old bot so it's wear and teare from warfare.
I've included WIP shots leading up to the almost done jammy. Enjoy...
Early test.
Early shell fit.
The shell was cut on a band saw. I used a bunch of very small screws to fasten the parts together (glued too of course). There's a bunch of scratchbuild hardware in there as well, made of styrene,
steel pins, and various screws.
And many thanks to Valkfan and John F. for the casting services. You guys rock!!!
