Well, i have a KO of G1 Cyclonus with broken legs, so i'm going to fix it using the legs of a Oversized KO Lugnutz, if everything goes right, Cyclonus will have a better leg articulation.

Here's the pics of this project, a mistake is a difference between sucess and failure.

here's some progress, the balljoint of Lugnutz fitted after i sanded it with the sandpaper (I removed the tube for the screw and i glue it with epoxy.
Image

I cutted the bike handle of the KO Lugnutz and they fitted in the leg holes, making a union, now i have to fit them in the Cyclonus legs.
Image

Well, during the progress i had an accident, i cut myself with the knife in the "fat finger"
Image

Wish me good luck, because this is my first kitbash.

Looking good so far. One piece of advice is to make your Decepticon labels on the computer and print them out on the label sheet rather than trying to hand draw them. I have done a number of them using Adobe Illistrator. It is a wonderful program.

Well this is my first time about using epoxic clay in customs, i used it for fix a broken part in Lugnutz legs, soldifying it and filling any empty space in the parts.
Image

Well, i agree with Tramp, so i used a Decepticon logo from a Knock Off.

Strumvogle, It is definately looking better, but the knock-off stickers aren’t the way to go either. If you want, I can send you a hi-res JPG of some of the Decepticon symbols I made in Adobe Illustrator.

go here and you can download vector artwork, usually an eps file. they have just about every logo going including all the tf logos so just type what you want in the search box, be warned you might have to spend a little bit of time searching!
