custom classics IDW Pharma

You know, the medical dude from the More than meets the Eye comic series?
I swear I used almost all of a tin of white paint on this sucka. Undecided about what faction logo to put on him... I mean he is an Autobot, but his actions set him apart and after his comic appearance, who knows what he decided? I've been telling my kids he's a Decepticon doctor.
Made from a Cyclonus body and deluxe tank Megatron head (which was a surprisingly good fit). Cyclonus' wings were flipped which is harder than it sounds. Only one end of the metal pin holding them on is visible, so I had to drill a hole through his wing to where I thought the other end of the pin was to hammer it out.
I realise he's missing his little red crosses on the wings but A: there's not much room for them B: I didn't need the grief :p

Is there a doctor in the house?

Anyway to remove his hands? :p

Looks great, love the crisp, clean white colour, think you've got the amount of red on the chest perfect. I think keeping the red crosses off the wings is the right decision. Love the job!

Looks awesome snaketales! Great job! May I recommend an Autobot symbol but one that is kinda ripped or scratched off?

Actually, thanks to Cyclonus' transformation, you can hide his hands....

Nice work mate. I couldn't hope to produce something as good as that. ;):cool:

Spectacular idea. I would never have thought of that figure for a Pharma custom. Clever idea with the Megatron head too. Big thumbs up!
Are you worried about the paint chipping? Did you undercoat him?

Well done.

Hey, thanks for the thread revival and comments!

Always worried about paint chipping, especially with white. I didn't undercoat him but I did put dullcote on after I'd finished. Most of my customs tend to stay in robot mode.

Not yet... have several other projects I want to get through, but it's on the list.
