Ah, I see. For some reason I thought that it was a commission.

so mench.. when is this bad boy going on ebay?

by **wldchld0783_338** » Tue Jul 24, 2007 7:21 pm

man, those are freakin awsome. did you make his Dino eyes transparent??? Or are they just a silver base with a clear red over it?

by **Pun-3X** » Tue Jul 24, 2007 7:58 pm

I can't get over the fact that this is a scratch-build. It's awesome beyond words. BOTH of them! You really did an excellent job here.

wow speechless.... everything is perfect.

The only thing that falls a little short imo is the head. maybe a smaller more defined head done in red would look better. The dino-mode though is 100% flawless.

Btw what thinkness styrene do you use for something like this?

thanks for the comment guys

If I don't get a reasonable offer in about 1 to 2 weeks I'll most probly post it up on ebay.

Just red mixed with silver and a lighter shade for the pupil.

I use thickness as thin as 0.40 and as thick as 0.80. It really depends on the part I need it for. For thoughness such as the shell I use the thickest and for surface details I go for the thin styrenes.

Amazing work, awe-inspiring to say the least. I've been smiling like a kid for 15 minutes reading this post. Slag was my first Dinobot toy and I love him so.

there is something satisfying about seeing a dinobot at the size it was supposed to be. As a kid watching the show they were kick a-s-s, now the only question is who will be next?

It must take a lot of discipline to stop and make a second copy of each part - when you are itching to get it finished!

Nice job:)

That's awesome. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the Dinobots. :wink:

by **TM JAF** » Mon Oct 15, 2007 5:02 pm

Wow...Wow...Wow... :mrgreen:

I've dreamt of making one of these for a loong time and seeing Slag's dinosaur mode is that dream realized. Perfect Menchoy!

I can't wait to see if you do any of the other dinobots.

New here, I just had to register and give you some kudos for making my 2nd favorite DinoBot the towering bruiser he should have been.
Awesome, outstanding and in all ways steller work! Are you going to get around to a MP Snarl? The spiny one was always my favorite, even though his toy didnt do him justice.
