Ya'll should know that this is from one episode......
Still WIP, the name I came up for this guy is "Redacted". He will be a Decepticon, obviously based off of the lotus esprit from <The spy who loved me>.
It's been over 2 months since I updated my progress lol. I had a big exam I had to prepare at school so I didn't have time to make progress. I got back on this project today, and I can say that the locomotive mode is halfway done! I just need to add some details and finish the other side as well.
Also, I decided to decrease the size of this a bit because it would be way too big to print. You can still put CHUG figures inside the conductor room, but the space is extended to almost ground level rather than slightly elevated. I updated the rocket thrusters as well.
One thing I want to ask you guys is that how should I print this? I can't afford a 3d printer, and I don't want to slice up parts aside from the torso/legs/arms/head/front and rear of the train/and other moving or fragile parts into multiple pieces and glue them all together. Is there a good way to print this thing as a whole?
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I am planning on selling the STL file on a site once its ready. I won't be too expensive as it isn't that much of good quality. The robot mode will look....disappointing, I warn you guys.
I want to make a bitstream figure that looks like he's been phasing out from a digital realm, as his personality is basically a VR addict. I know I can't turn colored plastic into clear plastic so how do I achieve this look? I really want it to look like the scan series bumblebee, or at least how RED megs turned out so do you guys have any tips you can share?
EDIT: I am planning on using the earthrise mold for this one
Optimus, hound, scourge, and hot rod are the first batches to be released and the others, megatron, prowl, starscream, insecticons are the next. Optimus has the one shall stand motto on his box, and megatron has the on shall fall one. Am I the only one to think that this is a reference to who died and survived in the 86 movie? Ok, technically optimus was the one who died and megatron was the one to live and get reformatted but the others, for example prowl/starscream/insecticons all died in the movie and hot rod/scourge where bots who survived.
Guess that means that hound also survived the attack on autobot city.
