So I was hoping to have a prototype of my Custom Menasor done at this point but I still have work left to do. I still have to fix the skirt pieces so they are mounted properly and don't bump into anything. I need to configure the head so that it can mount in both modes securely. I need to decide how I want to mount Dead End, at the moment I'm looking at gluing a Lego part under the hood that will connect to the arm and id like to keep the head attached in arm mode but it will mean he will stick out farther and idk if I like how it looks. Unfortunately the arms have to stick out farther than planned to accommodate the ratchet joints as they are the strongest ones I have at the moment and even they can't hold it up completely nor can the Power Core Combiner parts I salvaged from a broken figure which felt very stiff. Now it might just be me but the arms seem a bit too long and I'm not big on how skinny the legs look in some areas. The trailer mode is looking good, however there are some things that need work. The main part left to finish the trailer mode is to make the filler for the top of the trailer. My plan is to have a filler part that connects to the top of the trailer and removes the large gap on top. In addition this filler would be removable and my plan is to have it be able to transform into a base/battle station that resembles the original base mode that the G1 Motormaster had. Now with the current Covid-19 pandemic my classes have been shifted to being online so I've had more time at home to work on this project however my Mom has asked me try and print some temporary masks for her and her co-workers who still have to go into work. I'm still hoping to get back to work on this soon as I've been working on this for so long that I'm getting tired of it and want to get to work on the final version already but there is still one big issue to sort out and that's the fact that he is too heavy for the joints in his legs and as a result he can't stand up without support and I don't know what to do because I want him to still be fairly poseable and I still want to make the city environment and etc but that is a project that will take a long time and I kind of want to wait until I have my own place so I don't have to move it very much. I'm going to put a lot of G1 references into this environment and after hearing about the death of the writer of some of my favorite G1 episodes including the Key to Vector Sigma episodes where the Stunticons were introduced I'm gonna try and come up with some reference to him to put in. I hope to have this custom done before classes are over and I think I'll take a break for a little while once this is done.
