These guys are awesome! The sculpting you did adds so much to the figures, both on the chest and the heads: it makes parts we're all familiar with seem fresh and new. The paint jobs are equally impressive: those grey jumpsuits are so smooth that I would have thought it was a production piece. Great work on these dudes!


Thanks.

I was really happy w the heads. The Grands Slam head has such a receding hairline that it’s easy to sculpt into a new hair style. Steeler required sanding down the hair and starting over w a new hairline.

Love this issue. Really showed that how you treated people affected how they treat you.
It's also the issue with the 'famous' Jetfire/Megatron mistake.

Great work, they look spot o.


Thanks.

Doc lower legs would have been better, but I don't have any left, so the Shipwreck ones did just fine.


Doc would have been nice, but I think I'd have went with Lightfoot. It would've been the tucked in boot look I would expect on a ground crew.


I love the entire SM run, mostly to get Trimpe back. Hama did his best writing (in my opinion) when working w Trimpe.

I love these. I like how much you were able to mod the heads with just some hairstyle changes.


Thanks.

The hair colors get expanded, too, to help out. Grunt/Zap/Grandslam never got an acorn brown treatment in the US line.

I have enough ARAH fodder for a long time, but now I’m starting to run out of the more easily customizable parts. Adding straps gets some good mileage out of old parts, too.

When I get to the point the point where I’m stuck w Iron Grenadier parts to use, then it will be time to put away the paint brushes.

Thanks!

Makes me want to try more sculpting mods to the early run heads.
