Universe Jazz

Post by frenzy_rumble »

This guy was a hard project. I wanted to do something different than the ones we've seen before. I took the front end of a Porsche-like car, cut it up. Took off the front end of U. Prowl, then fused the 2 together. Took a lot of filling and sanding to make it look natural. I also wanted part of the front end to remain on his chest while in robot mode. The head is a cast from a botcon TFCC Jazz. His hands are articulated. I also reworked the spoiler and gave him fat rubber tires that stick out a bit, which give him a more racing car look. finished off with some custom decals and some gloss on the alt mode parts. Painted with HOK:KK and testor's model master enamels.

Wonderful job! I love the shoulder cannon, but... no grapple hand? :D

Brilliant work. At first sight, in robot mode, I didn't think the front end fitted but after seeing it in vehicle mode completely changed that opinion after another look at robot mode. Maybe just too used to the seeing the mold on my shelf.

Huh?

Looking great as usual. The white plastic really stands out.

Even I know... Jazz had a grapple-ook stored in is right underarm, and as far as I know, he made a staggering two times use of it.... BTW, oher subject, I am watching Gundam00 too. Great show ain't it???

I've been wondering how to do a Jazz more... Jazz-Like. And you sir, have hit the nail on the head.

Did you just sculpt the head or use another?
