Transformers Comic Coffee table

Got the idea for this from a local toy fair. Very easy to do

(masters sell the brand of polycrylic they recommend)

Very cool, I want to do something similar for a computer desk.

Please tell me these weren't the original Marvel comics that were slaughtered, and were some of the many reprints over the years *sob*

2 original issues. They are barley worth more than a few dollars each.. don't see the big issue :confused:

Very cool :)

Very nice.

Well the effect is very very cool, got to admit. But I see covers for #4 & 6 which are at least 10-15 for near mint copies..... Just seems like a waste of good comic, is all.

I still need those issues :(

That's pretty cool, nice job dude! :cool:

I did a quick completed listing search before i cut them up. Didn't see them as that valuable.

eg: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/TRANSFORM...item20e922c8f4

They wouldn't have cost me more then a dollar each back in the day and i was never going to read them. Ive got a few other issues, which ones do u guys need?

Can I send you a list?:)

Yeah go for it!

Will send you a pm tomorrow. Thanks :)

This looks great! Great idea! How is the surface?

didn't expect a creative thread to turn into a sales thread ;-)

I like it, and I think it looks better with the legs not comiced up than the way they did it in the video.

Cheers :)

The surface has some air bubbles and is a llittle sticky but I think it will dry up over time. It has been functioning as normal now.

Cool, how did I miss this!!! Nice shape. Now to go and cut up some g1 boxes :D

Haha! :p:D

When I read the title I thought your coffee table could transformed into something else.

Now that would be something. A 2in1 type thing.

Your table is still very cool! :)

Yeah I also feel uneasy when I see vintage stuff being 'recycled' :o

Nice idea generally though! :)
