Repaint of stockade with front window fix
Posted: Mon Nov 10, 2008 7:35 pmThis character I bought specifically to repaint. I didn't like his colors at all. But I did try to stay close to the original.
(click here If you forgot what he looks like)
New Colors
Field Blue, Bronze, White Gold, Metallic Black, Silver, Gold and Chrome
Robot mode fix
the front windows that are normally attached to stockade's wrists are falling off the arm quite easily which makes the character less posable and is quite annoying during the transformation.
The windows look like they are actually designed to fall off, so I started looking for an alternative place for them to go in the robot mode. I found two spots that almost looked like they were made to hold these front window parts.
On the back of the lower leg, just above the heel, with a small alteration you would be able click the window onto the heel to get it out of the way.
On the top of the shoulders there are openings that actually are able to hold the windows without extra heavy duty modifications.
This also gives the character a more menacing look. You loose a little bit of the arm movement but not enough that it would bother me
(I did have to scrape off a little plastic from the Right arm so the window would fit in a bit better, but that's all I did to make this work.)
Additions:
This character is extremely detailed in my opinion, the only thing that was missing was the license plate so I added one using a Custom Decal
hope you like the pics,
personaly I'm quite happy with this one...
any comments are of course welcome.
