Description
I have some more paint work to do but I need to focus more on the combined mode/trailer. I need to test some ideas for ratchet joints because I don't want to take the ratchet joints from a large figure and apply it to this, I want to make something that fits. Coming up with this is probably going to take me a while and I may just try and incorporate Lego ratchet joints instead. I found a Motormaster head on shapeways and made a neck for it so I could attach it and its not perfect but it works. I decided to add some weathering detail to Motormaster and it looks really good because it makes parts like the back of the truck look like steel and its not that hard to do. Painting these guys was the easy part, the hard part is going to be designing all the parts of the combined mode and figuring out how they'll attach and transform.
