Huzzah!!!
Finally got off me bum to get another one cranked out. STL was here for the creation of this dude, but here he is in semi completed glory. Alt Mode pics when the paint dries 100% :)
Beachcomber

Anyone know where I can find a little cool surfboard to go with him? :)
Alt Mode

With those colours and alt mode, he should be called Beachcomber.
Haha- That's kind of the point... but thanks to you, I only just noticed I didn't state that in the post :b Thanks griffin!Quote:

[edit]
actually, i did think of the guys in Gold Coast.
they have souvenirs that are surfboard keychains...could try that.
look around here as well at the souvenir shops...
for example:

Toy cars with surf boards (found on ebay)

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/1962-VW-VOLKS...QQcmdZViewItem
Mini surf boards (has 2)

Great minds think alike! That's exactly what i suggested to lcz128 when we were shopping last Friday but we didn't have time to get around to the surf shops.Quote:

ohhh that's a good idea too liege!!!
Looking very good lcz128. Great job! :)
Hahah I'm trying to perfect the sealing technique first - trying to reduce rubbing paint-scrapage. So, once that's figured out, we'll be able to move forward! Am very excited bout this one though :DQuote:

Thanks for the linkage. I need to see how much the surfboards in person and what size they are. a lot of the links you posted would work for a larger scale beachcomber- not the scout size that he is. :\ and I don't intend the surfboards to be so... loud :b Am probably going to go with a simple looking surfboard :DQuote:

THat's a really good idea... but again the size of that board would be way larger than Beachcomber :\ Scout size is... too small for that- For a deluxe sized one though - ... which would work if I tried out that Landmine-->Beachcomber custom (I've been planning on that anyway :D)Quote:

AND! I am probably going to be doing more spraying of paint onto seaspray... I think it'll work better considering the mould. :D Stay tuned!
thats awesome, mode from cybertron?
so any results yet for the surfboard Al?
Yep! Hardtop, Swindle and Hardtop (he was made from the latter)Quote:

Dammit- I meant to have text in here when I posted it but got slightly overzealous after pasting in the links :b
Here's how he looks today on my work table. Am going to be trying today to cover areas with superglue to protect bits that transform. :D
Just a thought... If we have this convention thing next year I think one of you customiser guys should run a workshop there. I would love to learn how to do these cool things.
Haha- Sounds fun - Like:Quote:
