This is an experiment between myself and gamblor169 in seeing if it's possible to create an alternative head for Binaltech Arcee through 3D printing.

It's still in the design phase so now is a good time for constructive criticism and suggestions.

The idea is to design in 3D and then get a 3D print done. From there I will hand over the result to gamblor169 who will create duplicates and paint them.

This is the current Arcee concept - G1 Arcee with a Binaltech/Alternators aesthetic.

This is basically how the construction will work - Two pieces screwed together around the BT Arcee neck ball-joint.

So if you want to add any constructive comments now is your chance. :)

Wow, well done on the 3D modeling and rendering guys, it looks great to me.
Good luck with the work ahead. :)

I should also add this will be a very small run, numbers not confirmed yet but there will be around 15-20 copies made. All pieces will be cast resin (not by me) and painted by myself.

If it doesn't go all pear shaped :D

Thanks to Tober for all the 3d work. I'm still waiting to hear back from casters before things proceed.
