Articulation mods for E-Kickback and Wideload

Postby RogueDeathangel » Sat Aug 19, 2006 1:43 pm

I wanted my gestalts to have the ability to bend at the elbows and have their hands facing the right way, so this is what I did:

First, I cut off the small tab on the foot of Kickback, as designated in these pics by red:

I then got to work changing the rotational parameters of the "wings" on wideload:

All this allowed the arm to be posed as such:

Then I got to work on Wideload. I decided the helicopters energon hand would be better for use on this one.

I shorted the end plug, and thinned the side plug:
Image

This allowed the side peg to be fitted into the hole that is coloured yellow here:
Image

This meant i could pose the arm like this:

So, when attached to Constructicon maximus, it looks like this, with full elbow movement :D :

Interesting. Those tanks always make a big mess of kibble. half of it becomes not-arm. annoys me that the guns can't face forward unless he raises his entire upper-arm, or moves the wings into a position that limit his elbow articulation.
I think for the crane's new hand, if he's Devastator, he could do with fists but... that's a much larger mod. :)

Any chance of us getting some really close up shots of the finished articulation?
