Well, Firstly, I was thinking of good ways to bolster my Autobot's ranking in my collection as they're really outnumbered by the Decepticons (kinda backwards hu?), and I got this idea, but wasn't sure if I could make it work or not, so I digibashed it. Keep in mind these aren't the colors I'm actually using, just close enough to get the idea across. The trick was to take the scheme of the robot mode, and get it to work in the alternate mode as well. This is what I came up with:

I think it works quite nicely in the Truck mode, do you agree? Well, here's how it looks in robot mode:

I've got the base color all done, and also have the majority of the whites done, as well as the head and chest. I still have a couple of days work between the fact that I have to let pieces dry before I can work on a different side, and then I'll have to let the clearcoat cure before reassembly. I've even removed the super tiny wheels. Here's a little tease for where I am at, and yes, I did do head modifications, shortening the middle crest to further accentuate the side antenae (make them seem longer), and also removed the broken nose affect as well.

If you cant' read that typing in the photo, it says "On 19" monitor, @ 1024x768, actual size =>". Oh yeah, this is an LOC :lol:

woo wee, back in 2006, when I wasn't here. Nice man. I was thinking of sracth building a traielr with Cardboard. cut the sides
make a deck and glue the sides to the deck and you have yourself a trailer. Just paint it whatever color you want. By the way what did happen to this bash
