I know that I kind-of suck at making custom figures, but I want to try my hand at doing another figure.
I've got Delphinia on the back burner due to lack of a material that casts clear.
So, I was thinking that maybe I could do another figure in the meantime. If anyone is against this, please let me know. It's nothing final yet; just an idea.
I was thinking of naming him Merceron, and have him be a Vok emissary made from a Tigerhawk figure (ironically). I have many ideas for him, and I would like to try this toy (even if he's not in the comic).
Tell me what you think. In the meantime (tonight), I'm going to start on it. I'll post WIP pics if I have them ready in the morning. Thanks,

It's a modeling glue that dries clear. it's in a hexshaped black bottle, sorry can't remember the name, but the bottle says it can be used to make windows for example. So if you can mold what you need a part of you can possibly fill the mold with that.
that or just go to hobbylobby and buy a thin sheet of plexy.

Oh, I thought you needed some more complex shapes; for a new windshield, just get some colored CD boxes, I made the new windshield for Whirlwind out of that stuff (look at the last WIP pics I posted some time ago). You need to be always looking for stuff that you can use in this kind of hobby, I think apart from some paints, I've never bought any othe material from a proper Hobby Store.

Lord_Loqi wrote:If you want to keep the tiger alt mode but make it look all mechanical, use the foam bit piece that comes with your dremel tool. it's meant for polishing metal but will also kind smelt it's way through plastic. if your carful you can use it to create sevral flat surfaces where the hair is and then just snad it smooth if neccessary. then paint it ofcourse.

Any chance that the different factions would have JUST two different optic colors, like in the g1 cartoon? It probably doesn't make much sense, seeing as how the one faction split off from the main one and thus, they were all the same "group" prior, but I didn't know if you would want a "bad guy" eye color and "good guy" one. Dunno if this would make it any more visually apealing in the comic, that or add some more group unity. *shrugs* Just a thought.

Actually, it seems that I'm the one who always has new posts in these topics, and it's good to talk about something else for a change.
I, personally, like that idea. Maybe the Reformers could be the ones who changed their optic colors as a act of defiance or something.
Ra88 wrote:I may have a different idea. The regular Transtopians can have yellow optics, including the Machine. Remember: The one species ideal of Eternus, with no indication of their past. The Reformers want to get their past back, so they could have red and blue optics, based on their memories or what they think they were.

I like the colored eyes idea, specially Ra's version, it makes more sense.
MetalSamamon wrote:O.K. Dumb Question Time:
Since Delphinia is a Spy, should her eyes be yellow like the rest of the Machine, or red/blue to fit in with the Reformers? What do you guys think?
Ra88 wrote:Alright. How about going for the "Transtopians-Yellow optics" idea with only the Machines having the honor to choose their own optic-colors? Then it could tick them off that the Reformers are defying this 'tradition' by choosing what color they want as well.
