Thanks buddy, looking forward to seeing your next dude in action.

Its a shame you cant get to Darkmount as its the forum for the Decepticons to chill out in, but unfortunately due to some BBcode v2/v3 issues (that are being sorted out over the next few weeks) the permissions aren't likely to be corrected til HMW2 is released.

The fun stuff is all here in GD anyway. :wink:

decided to skip my actual transformers in my team but just make one that will be created when its alt comes round he was meant to be a zoid but he could easily come out as a transformer he has no name right now

Finally uploaded the artwork I'd done for my recent team, though Cerberus got lost somewhere along the way so I'll have to take another picture of him/her/him.

Thank you.

Three hours of a rather boring evening class will do wonders for your artistic development. :lol:

Love the mythical theme you have, some great mythical monsters and titans among that group.

But the Sharkasaurus-rex definitely wins. :lol:

I was going to wait until i'd done the undercoat on the big guns, but i'm an impatient bastard.

Hmm. Not sure about the guns going through the middle of the cab... not sure about that at all.

Well using Red Alert's original weapon thingy is pointless, and they had to go somewhere, and they just so happened to be a perfect fit!

Besides, he's a giant freaking machine of war, by the time i'm finished you won't even notice them.

Big gun is now undercoated, might try to start on attaching those smaller guns later today, and i've found a generous soul who's sending me a pair of Unicron horns which will fit nicely once modified.

Also had a chat to HC, he suggested a bulldozer ram/cow catcher type thing at the front (Energon Landmine) but i'm thinking they'll end up blocking the two guns.

And then I came up with the idea of replacing the wheels with tank tracks. :twisted:

You sure you dont wanna just buy a load of bits and build somit from scratch?

News Credits: 226 · by **Burn** » Sun Apr 12, 2009 8:10 am

I'm not even going to attempt to delude myself into thinking that I have even the slightest skills to scratch build.

Taking bits and pieces from here and there and modifying things? Sure ... that I can do. Guess what it boils down to is I need a framework to modify and build on.

It started out as a joke. Taking Energon Megatron's color scheme and applying it to Croc Megs. I ended up liking it so now Vertebreaker has a look

Alt mode is an albino crocodile

NICE!

Now go do the kitbash.

News Credits: 1 · by **Venomous Prime** » Mon Apr 13, 2009 9:28 pm

I might actually. Croc Megs is one of my favorite figures. So after I get a few paychecks under my belt I'll track down another one and give kitbashing a go.

The two biggest problems you'll encounter (because I once did a black and red Megs, dunno if anyone ever saw it, and I don't even know where it is now!) is of course, the ball joints, and the spring action. Bastard to take apart, but with some fiddly holding and manipulation you can paint underneath the shell.

One thing I was thinking about was the shell/body. When I sand it won't the raised portions get messed up? I don't know how to say what I'm fearing :lol:

bigbadtoystore has a gator Megs for 10 bucks...I'm thinkin about buying that today and starting the kitbash earlier then I originally planned.

The outside of the shell?

Won't need sanding at all. The only moving part on that is the slot where the spring action level moves.

Won't I need to sand it before painting it so that the paint sticks?
