LOL!! What's goin on guys. So seeing how I am still on vacation, I'm in the process of catching up on customs and other things like refinishing my dads staircase (totally unrelated, i know.). Anyway, one of the customs I was working on was a sidearm sideswipe. I love this mold, and if it weren't for that STUPID backpack, he'd be perfect! So, I made it removable by simply making it into a clip on piece. This guy looks amazing out of the package, but get a really good paint job on him with some polyurethanes.. OH.. MAH.. GAWD. (Where the hell'd THAT come from?? ) I've got more pictures to take of this guy yet but this relaly is just an straight up repaint, nothing like what my battle blade BB went through. One thing I do plan on doing in the future (the one that'll stay in my collection) is that I want to make the swing arms the doors are on to be able to rotate so that the doors can sit higher up above his shoulders and still sit "properly". Just haven't been able to figure out how to do that just yet (maybe one these here super awesome pro's can gimme some ideas?? ). Anyway, ONTO PICTURES!!

aw crud, I totally didn't realize I was in the extensive mods and scratch builds area, if someone could move this for me that would be awesome, but until then, MORE PICTURES!

and the last set of pics until later on.

No one wants to comment?? I mean.. I know it isn't great, but it can be THAT bad.. can it??

I think it looks great - the only crit I can throw at it is, I wish there was more detail in the rear lights...

Would one of those reflective stickers in a vending machine work?

Not sure which reflective stickers you're talking about, buuuut.. Maybe some chrome foil with clear red over it? Or.. Maybe clear red over some alclad perhaps?

HOLY CRAP. That's Waaaaaay cool! I especially like the Transformation sequence photos, a rare treat with custom transformers! Were this my design, I would have tried to find a way to keep the roof panel in attached or converted into a shield/weapon, but that's no biggie.

Sweet stuff, man.
