MP Inferno - Expanding from Stencilator WIP Stage 1

[kelvinchang99]

Hi guys,

As you know, I was the lucky owner of Stencilator's custom. I have taken on this as a new project.

Here is the Progress WIP on MP Inferno.

Still a long way to go but I think it may be heading in the right direction.

The first you will see is the front face of the truck mode.

The side still needs work.

Also, after I took the photos, I have now taken the smokestacks off too. So, its still a moving target. Also, the bottom bumper has been flipped the other way now too as it looked real odd after I realised in the photos.

Aim to have some updates soon.

Did you salvage the front of the truck from somewhere else or is it handbuilt?





Oh & I can visualise Stencilator wondering what's happening to his baby... :D

[kelvinchang99]

The front of the truck is fully handbuilt. :)

Sorry Stencilator.. I hope you like the treatment and dont think I have killed your masterpiece .....

[i_amtrunks]

Channelling the Universe version with the lovely boxy front I see.

I like the scratch built cab, it suits the alt mode pretty well. Cant wait to see more.

He sould look real good once he's done cant wait to see, although i feel sorry for the Groove that's getting around with no arms :p

Sorry Stencilator.. I hope you like the treatment and dont think I have killed your masterpiece .....

He's your masterpiece now Kelvin... and I like it. It's good to see him finally being completed. How's progress?

[kelvinchang99]

Progress slowly. Hope to have some progress this weekend. Glad you like it.

Thanks.

Hi guys,

Had some time this weekend so did some update. Created the sides with hinges on the doors so that it can be transformed. Both sides doors open. Also an update as I have begun painting. Mostly done, just need to do some touch up. Alt mode will come shortly however, just waiting for paint to dry completely before performing the transformation. BTW, the hand is interchangeable with the canon hand.

Here's the bot mode:

Will update alt mode soon.

what paints do you use for painting? and do you spray them or brush them?

[kelvinchang99]

The paint I use is from a brand called Umbrol.

I brush paint it. Havent invested in a spray paint.

The paint I use is from a brand called Umbrol.

I brush paint it. Havent invested in a spray paint.

O:

I never brush paint large areas on models, only small details such as eyes. You can buy $8-10 cans of spray paint by Mr.Hobby/Gunze-Sangyo which are great alternatives to airbrushes.

The Mr Hobby Color range is fantastic, better than Tamiya IMO.

As promised, here are the pics for cab mode.
