G1 Predaking Modernized custom

[haydenite]

This is a custom that I've been working on for the past few months in the little spare time that I have.
I have scratch built the lion mane, crotch panel, neck panel and wing adaptor. Built new thighs on a base frame that has ratcheted joints.
Both arms now have new connector posts that allow upward and outward movement for that natural outward stance.
Head has full articulation.
missile launchers have full rotation and articulation.
Scratch built Feet have ankle tilt and toe tilt built in, gives him that modern and tough appearance.

2 wing adaptors that allow adding either the UT warlord wings,
JINBAO OS Rex wings.
The original G1 wings can still be used if you wanted to and for those that want, this also means the Crazy devy wing.
Just wanted to share my time and effort in this custom.
Hope you guys like it and thanks for looking.

Um... wow. Just wow. Imo, that actually beats any of the 3P look for me.

Thanks for the kind words..
He is still WIP with things like new hands and possibly 2 new extra feet for swapping Headstrong and Tantrum for "cartoon" accuracy, but these aren't that important so I'll do them slowly.

Care to elaborate on how you made the custom parts yourself? Always interesting to hear how it was made, not just to see :)

Thanks :)
Most of the scratch built parts were made of plastics ranging from different size perspex, and evergreen styrene sheets (mainly black).
Lots of super glue, knurled pins, screws and smallish nails.

A solid dremel, tons of sanding and late nights !!!

If theres anything in particular you'd like to know, just ask, but in the meantime, here are some of my WIP pics of the custom..

Wow, thank you for sharing! It really helps appreciate the amount of work you've put into this. A complex, time consuming job that you've hit out of the park!!

[Ralph Wiggum]

That reminds me of the Predaking in Call of the Primitives, which is the best drawn Predaking ever.

[UltraMarginal]

It's looking really stable too!

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

That's some great work. Amazing to see how good it is, even with the chunky G1 bots in there.

Thank you, yeah, I tried to keep him looking proportional when in combined mode as much as possible :)

[klystron]

That is seriously fantastic.
Lovin the 3P look but with G1 figures.
(My G1 Predaking looks a little inadequate now).
Incredible amount of time and effort.


When will pre-orders be available?
:D

[Slag]

Insane!!! :eek:

wallet is ready and waiting....
