Not too many are sold on my project, so I just continue for my own documentary´s sake.
After all of this was done, I wanted to raise his chest shield, which NEEDED raising.
I looked up the height, thought about what I could do, started a prototype and saw that a pretty big hole emerged left and right under his shield:
So I started carving out rough outlines of a filler piece, with twisties as cables and added more and more detail to it, until I thought to be happy and assembled it the first time:
And with his shield also and this time; no holes:
Needless to say that I was extremly happy with it and so I painted it:
Then came varnish and assembly, comparison before and after:
So now I have the possibility to have it in G1 configuration, with shield (upper), or IDW comics inspired (lower):
And lastly a comparison of old height to the new. About half an inch was added, so now the height is more fitting to a simulated chest, with the upper part roughly coming of as a collarbone:
Hope you guys enjoyed, currently I´m builing his second knee part, then comes painting of the 2nd thigh and also painting his last component: Scrapper. Can´t wait until he´s finished, but as a last:
