Shoddy paintjob aside, that's quite an interesting figure you've frankensteined together there.

I used water color paints because it was the first thing I found, I thought it would turn out worse.
Just having fun with the non-japanese energon megatron mold

It's like modern art.

Aesthetically atrocious, yet... brilliant. :shock:

The ingenuity of the tankmode is what really impresses me.

I think what you have there is a solid proof-of-concept piece.

Thanks,
I made the robot mode, and worked out the tank mode from there.

Hit it right on the Mark. I think if you went over that Paintjob with some Flat Black, Then Use some acrylic paints you may be on it. Still, great Design and Concept. Maybe if he had a Cannon on his arm instead of a CRANE Arm he might look more menacing...

Good work, tho!
B-)

No need, a good wash should take the whole thing off.

The paint comes off just from handling it, a wet cloth will take it right off.

He already chopped off the hook... Maybe if he attached a pair of parallel panels or flaps to the end that would hide what is left that distinguishes it as a crane?

I can't see making it look like a conventional barrel without nixing the sword, but he might manage to make it look like some sort of Plasma Cannon with big Magnetic Panels to funnel the plasma as it pours out of the barrel.

Edit: The fins off that flying assassin droid from SWII:AotC might look good.

It doesn't much remind me of Galvatron, but I do like it.
