MP UM - very early WIP - kelvinchang99

I think you've got the Shoulder height perfect.

Like the new head, the new nose in particular looks great.

Looking great so far Kelvin, very eager to see how it turns out :)

thats starting to look very cool indeed!

Thanks guys.

Just had the day off work and thought I would do a quick update. Trying to do the second shoulder if I can today but enclosed the chest plate now so that you can't see if was a prime base. :) The chest plate is still removable. Gives it abit more weight.

The shoulders have been cleaned up abit.

Okay.. here is the update from today. Both shoulders are done. Just need to put the autobot symbol on his left shoulder.

Size comparison. Looking at this, once the legs go in, this figure will stand taller than the MP Prime. Here already showing that its taller than my Metalverse Ironhide.

Okay, so here is another update. The top body is now done and started on the waist. Got lazy tonight and stopped working on it.

Going to catch some zzzz... :) Enojoy... The plan for the trailer is coming together.

These are brilliant. But can they transform? What are you moulding the face and head from?

I like how you have gotten that 'rough' non slip pattern thing on the surface of the red chest area which is just like the G1 toy.

jimoinj - thanks for the comment. The head was scratchbuilt not molded. I am workingo on the transformation and almost completed 1 leg. A real challenge but it is different.

Kup - thanks for the comments.

Although it was like doh when I saw today someone posted the fanproject unofficial trailer for MP prime. I waited this long and as soon as I decide to build my own, someone out there completes theirs... :(

Here is a little update.. but took ages. The right leg is about 80% done to visually give you an idea how the back of the trailer would work. Moreover, the back piece will fold back and extended in trailer mode.
