thats a pritty cool idea, shoudl brign more trafic to the site and make sure the mods arnt lost
didnt TFmaster do something with the ford mustang mold doors in bot mode on his alt megs kitbash, that one looked pritty cool
tentagil took the doors off hound to make him lok more like the g1 version, wasnttoomuch but looked effective
maybe a section for alternator weapons, i know a few of us have done windcharger gun barrels etc and someoen did a repaint of deadend/ sunstreaker mod
oh and the deadend trunk mod to make it open on the hinge thats screwed down

Well, provide me with the links then
lol
There are too many!
Nice idea for the weapon thing, a miscellanous section should be a good addition!

there's also one for sideswipe hip flaps so you can lift his leg forward. I believe I can find it from over at TFW2005. It'll take a little while though.

Sunstreaker and Sideswipe mods
It all really just depends on how much range of motion you wanted
on the trunk.
Sideswipe has just modified at the trunk hinge
Sunstreaker was modified at the trunk hinge and the trunk lever
here are the pics:

That looks pretty sweet BBee!
Even though it seems Sunstreaker has lost quite a bit of poseability in his shoulders.

only if he's tryin to do YMCA
otherwise it ain't so bad...no worse that Grimlocks shoulders

thanks 4 sharing!
I have recieved your email too btw, same pics eh?
Anyway.. Sunstreaker is modded in two ways, right ? Whats the big advantage over the sideswip trunkmod?

well,
if you try to put Sideswipe's trunk over his shoulders, it only goes so
far. you either have a big angle.....what it looks like on the sideswipe trunk mod or. It has the connector nubs to touch the top of his shoulders.
by modifying the lever piece, the trunk sits more squarely or rests more
evenly on the shoulders....like it was ment to be there.
give it a try...you can see what I mean.

Was there anything else on the tracks mods other than the door movemnt? I've started segmenting the batmobile shell to fit Ravage and I'm not sure if I'll need that part or not yet. Anything else worthwhile that could help the mold? Oh ya I'll try to take some pics.

The Batmobile ! How cool! Good luck man!

So far it's been rather difficult. I have a 1:25 model and it's still to long and wide compared to the corvette. So I'm afraid of having too much kibble.
Also I have got to give Jimsloth some major props. It is near impossible to cut a straight line with a Jewlers saw.
Also the only Optimus head I have that would fit the mold is the Robat moster one which is perfect cause now I don't have to sculpt Primals face. Just add the proper ball joint.

Now just figure out a way to fasten it to the undercarrage like his sword. That really does look cool.
