Holy crap, that Harry Defeats Truman one was awesome!


No kid in the drawing, but like I said, I took some liberties with it. There could have been a kid at the inaguration, and I just wanted to do something a little interesting.

And The 9/11, Truman, and Astrotrain pics are cool. I really like the Astrotrain one, really good representation.

My fav's a toss up between the 9/11 one and sunstar's oh s**t one (my dad works for a charity that is building a mainline steam locomotive, and the gents toilet of the works has that poster with the words 'oh s**t' underneath it, so you see it when your taking a dump, lol).

In both cases the photos represent the image very well.
I think sunstar has a slight edge on technique, but for overall effect in comparison to the origanal, that 9/11 one will take some beating.

I'm working on mine right now, but I think I might have to put it on hiatus until I can get some more TFs parts from TheTouch. It'll be up in time!

EDIT:
Screw it, I just made mine today. It's up right now. Good luck to all!

Retarded? That's a perfectly valid question.

I used Classics Astrotrain as the shuttle, for the two smaller boosters, I used Classics Jetfire's boosterpack, and for the nose of the larger booster, I used Classics Prime's windvane. They were held together with rubber bands, which were hidden under the cotton balls.

While Sunstar's is pretty impressive, I'd say 83457W422102's is the best so far. I've go to figure out what I'm going to do, now.

Dude, yours had me cracking up. I love that original picture, whether the caption be 'Owned' or 'Oh Sh!t!'
I particularly enjoy your attention to detail, such as the brick textured floor and walls, as well as the various pieces of debris. What did you use for the debris? Is that scale replica of a girder! :P

Well, for what it's worth, I added mine. It's my first attempt, but since I suggested the topic, I had to do something, right. Please feel free to comment, but please, be gentle :P

The debris is metal sprew from warhammer 40k and fantasy figures. I kept it for some reason. I think texture on terrain. I do make terrain from time to time.

Yup sure is, it's been my favorate drink imported for 8yrs now. Funny thing is back then, there was a wide spead of creative artists, writiers and poems of all time,( Van Gogh, Edgar Allen Poe, etc)they banned it because they thought it would inspire to do too much bad with the good, make people go crazy. Meh.

Lucky for us, wasn't banned everywhere.

crap! real history? well dammit dragons were real, england wasnt safe with them maruading the countryside back in the day. St george changed all that and the peasants rejoiced, rethatched their cottages drank their ale and no longer had to worry about the safety of their nubile virgins anymore.
Well they were safe from dragons at least.
Despite the fact that the thrown to the lions piture was actually a better representtion of what really happened.

Damn




Scaleface according to what i read megatron and primal from beast wars alt modes were apparantly based off that match up of t-rex vs ape in king kong
