Greatshot WIP with articulated arms

[kelvinchang99]

Hi guys,

Been working on this. Greatshot from the Japanese series with articulated arms.

Dont worry, this is using a Sixshot KO to build. Didnt have the heart to try with G1.. and I am sure many of you would hate to see a G1 Sixshot custom made with a price tag like that for the toy.

Still working on the transformations. The arms here are articulated.

A little update with articulated legs and head (+ new head) as well as a size comparison to the MP Prime.

hey dude, nice work.
what did you use for the elbow, hip and knee joints??
does it affect the transformation?

[kelvinchang99]

Hey bruticus, Thanks.

For all the joints, I used Lego Bionicles. It extends the arm and leg abit longer.

Here is the beast mode. The others yet to come.

lego bionicles hey??
i was thinking abt using them too but i found that the joints became a bit loose when they were supporting some heavy weight.....

so did you end up buying the articulated G1 sixshot from wandereal or were you the original commissioner for that custom??

[kelvinchang99]

Its not too bad on the bionicles joint. I find if you paint the joints, then it becomes tighter. But it isnt intended for heavyweight like a Unicron or primus.

Wan's Sixshot was sort of a commission. We did a trade. :)

[bruticus]

hmm....i'm starting to see a partern...
you buy or trade customs and then you reverse engineer it but with your own interpretation and flare???
cool... ;)
let me know if and when you decide you want to reverse engineer Mench0y's swoop.... :D

[kelvinchang99]

Hi Bruticus,

haha.. now you know my tricks.. best way to learn right :)

The Menchoy swoop, worked out how he did it. But the scratchbuilding is amazing on that piece. That will only ever stay as a collectors item. I couldnt replicate that.

His work is amazing.. the scratchbuild is superb detailing and curvatures.
