TFARCHIVE FORUMS

Did some head work tonight--took the Thrust head and cut off just above the forehead, then cut some on the sides and back. I used the Swoop artwork from Visual Works as reference and I'll drop it here from our Reference Library over at Sector70 so you guys can see what I'm shooting for. I'm still wo...

Next up with my G1 Dinobots customs is Swoop. This is an idea I've had kicking around for a while, but never gave it a go until seeing how great rumble619's Swoop is shaping up. You can check it out here: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/319468-classic-swoop-dynobot-1-wip.html#post5119...

Hey guys, just dropping a side project I've been working on a little here and there for a bit. I decided to hack up the FansProject City Commander armor a bit and make it more G1. I had the idea back when I first bought the original release in '08. After seeing L_K's work with his (which was great),...

Looks very nice...., I do think that the cannon is hollow, as massive pieces isn't something I have seen often on the guy. He begins to look pretty much like his toon-self, but then updated. Is it maybe an idea to ad some details of your own to him???? Maybe stuff like wire-detail at the base of hi...

Here are some more WIP shots. I built up the sides of the chest/ab area to look more like G1 Galvatron and I also built his "belt" around his waist and added some minor details with thin sheet styrene. I used the G1 Galvatron cannon mount to help build Galvatron's cannon (thanks to bellboy...

Thanks, man! Here are the latest WIP shots. The chest is mostly complete, just needs some minor sanding in areas. Next, I'm planning to build a belt from styrene to go around his waist near the upper rectangular piece. I also plan to bulk up the sides a bit like you see in some of the artwork and on...

Here are a few more WIP shots. Still working on the chest right now.....should have more pics up tomorrow sometime. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y4/hXc_punk23/Transformers/Sector%2070/WIP/Galvatron%20II/100_3374.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y4/hXc_punk23/Transformers/Sector%2070/WIP/Galv...

New WIP shots........I cut down the shoulders from an Energon Sharkticon to form the shape of Galvatron's shoulder pods (or whatever you call 'em). I then covered all but the outsides with thin sheet styrene and sanded it down around the edges. I glued those in place and cut small pieces to add to t...

(not to be confused with the old Marvel Comics Galvatron II) I've been working on this since taking some time off from Bruticus. Had a lot of shit go down (loss of a loved one) and I decided to crank something out that I've had on my mind for quite a while now. So this has become my grounding bash--...

First off, I gotta thank Jei (blacklion29 @ Sector70 & Radicons/TFW) for his awesome Wheeljack custom that helped inspire this (as well as most every other WJ custom before and after). Second, the recent MC kit builds by Dave (Tom Servo) and Justin (Demonss) at Sector70 really helped push me to ...

I need to give credit to Jaf and Ptitvite (of Sector70) for their respective works on their Dinobots. They inspired my work here on this (along with the artwork in my Visual Works book). Not much to really say here (HA! Here comes the novel).....I decided to give some major articulation to my G1 Gri...

It's been a while, so I thought I'd ring in the new year with some WIP goodies. I decided to do a Universe Trailbreaker from this mold after seeing how well Jei's turned out (blacklion29 of Sector70, for those wondering). Not sure who else did one from the Universe Ironhide mold, but I know there we...

Thanks, guys! Nope, not finished yet (still a WIP). Just did some more work on it, so let me know what you guys think. Here are some new updates since last night. Any of you that may have seen the old WIP on this before, I've gone back and sanded the chest down (removing the gray primer I had done a...

I started this back in early 2008, but just recently went back to finish up some work on it. After seeing Kelvin's Megatron today and spoonman's Megatron custom recently, I've had the urge to finish up on this one also and finally share this up with those that never got to see it. As usual, this pro...

Thanks for the support! I decided to go with the G1 smokestacks (built from tube styrene) since they look much better and aren't as wide or odd looking. Keep in mind, this is still a WIP, so no real shots in alt mode of the new modes or smokestacks--those will come soon. I decided to make these remo...

I've been wanting to do this one for quite a while, being a huge Optimus Prime fan. SO I finally dove in and got to work. I've been working slowly on this since the summer of 2008. Hope you guys enjoy this! It's still a WIP, but not a whole lot left before painting. I also recently added a tutorial ...

It's tutorial time folks! I decided that most of the G1-styled rifles that have popped up recently from 3rd party sources were just not within the budget. So while they're nice and even gimmicky (lights), I knew I could do one just as cool, if not better for practically nothing. Anyway, I took my ol...

Finally charged the digi-cam and had some time to snap some shots of what I'm working on now with this. Been working on this on and off for over a year (since I finished up my first version of this custom). I went back and re-did some things, starting with ball jointed and articulated Master Grade G...

I wanted to share up something I've been working in recent weeks. I love Classics Jetfire, but can't stand the way his wings look and I miss that fast pack he had in the toon, so I decided to hack away at it all and kill Jetfire so that Skyfire can be born. The wing setup on Jetfire makes him look l...

First off, I gotta thank Ninos (WheelJack at Sector70, fellow admin there) for hooking me up with some G1 Kup parts for this. I already had a Kup planned out using the body of a Universe Sunstreaker and these parts changed my original plans just a bit (you'll see in the images below). I know some of...
