1:25th Scale Movie Style Soundwave WIP

Hey all. Here's what I've been working on lately. It's a 1:25th scale Movie Style Soundwave figure similar to my Swindle/Decepticon Drone found here: http://www.seibertron.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9541&highlight=&sid=
I'm basing my Soundwave on my Balkan MK6 SW design
and the J. Egerton/Yours Truly Hybrid design
while keeping his classic G1 visual cues in mind, of course.
Obviously, I don't have a Balkan MK6 model kit, so I'm using a Revell Humvee Kit, Legos, styrene and bits from Marvel Megamorph figures.
Here's the very early stage:

And here's where I am now:


I've added some height and bulk to his upper body from the early stage pic. He stands at 11 inches now. So in the real world, he'd be about 23 feet tall. As you can see, he has a lot of posability.
I'm at the point now where I will paint the figure before I put all the shell parts (WIP 2B pic) in place for good. I will be following the Balkan MK6 color scheme so most of the bot at this point will be black and light grey. The rest of the shell will be the blue gray color. And I still need to build the finished head, which I really look forward to.
Thanks for taking a look and for any comments you might have.
