New Movie Soundwave Custom! Now on ebay!
Posted: Sun Jan 27, 2008 4:16 pmAges ago I posted a Soundwave custom here. I had originally intended to sell him on eBay, but as time went by, I just fell in love with him, and we've been together ever since. However, now that "Offroad Ironhide" is out, it was time to have another go at it. Here he is- 99% finished MOVIE SOUNDWAVE!
(He's still wet, so I'll have alt pics up in a few hours.)
Basically all he needs now are his faction symbols, and he'll be ready for market.
Here are a few shots of how I modded the head. Contrary to what some people might tell you, there's slightly more to it than just turning it around backwards.
I Dremeled off what I didn't need and built up areas with epoxy putty. The brand I favor is called "Quikwood" because it sets in 20 minutes and is easy to carve (and it has a funny name.) It's hard to see in the picture but as the last step on the facial details, I let the putty set and then carved in what i needed to be sharp- such as the center line on the mouthplate and the sides of the crest. The front of the crest is a bit of styrene that I cut to shape and glued on.
Here's a pic of Soundwave 2.0 next to his older brother.
The stickers that I have don't want to stay on his chest piece, so I'm going to put it on the hood. I just can't decide on one big one that splits in half or one off to the side. Ideas?
Comments and suggestions are welcome. Thanks!
I'll have the ebay link and the alt mode pics up soon.
