thanks mate, hope to do him some justice.
your right mate, its always hard when you post work in progress pics, as the vision you have in your head,might not always show in pics, but you have to take the rough with the smooth, and i like to show my progress pics, as it helps all those who look, see whats been done,where im going, etc,
yeah he gave me goosebumps with these pics, just the inside of the head to tidy up, before i start thinking ahead towards the first part of his body.
again thanks for your kind words and support
all the best

Yep, this is definitely stunning work Colin and the finished neck looks absolutely perfect!
As has been said before and to echo what Rampagesss was saying: your work never ceases to impress and we're very much looking forward to further updates.![]()

Ooh! - Now that is certainly an interesting detail to add and one that certainly makes good use of what I would assume is otherwise unused space.
I'd also like to say that your use of everyday bits and pieces is quite resourceful and ingenious Colin.
Looking forward to your further efforts as always, but a parting question; are you looking to add any form of lighting to him? as I think at this scale his eyes just have to light up!![]()

this just keeps getting better and better. without scale in the first couple pics I thought it was good, but maybe a bit chunky, then I saw the picture with your hand for scale and ... WOW. that is really cool![]()
Shazam! This is too extreme for words! The level of detail and work going into this...Very nice, very nice indeed.
IM BACK!!! sorry its been so long, been really busy with unicron, so heres the update.
First off i completely rebuilt his brain, i was really pleased with the first one, but i looked at and thought i could do a little better, the new improved one lights up, has 3 modes, slow flash,fast flash and permenent on. also added energon crystals, flowing to his brain, feeding him, so to speak. The crystals were made from a light up ghost i tore to pieces, taking out the flashing leds, LOL!
Right collar was done in ford graphite grey, then weathered in a silver, picking out the panels i'd done, the dirty yellow colour was acheived by using a primer filler, in mustard yellow, then the panels and grooves were picked out in a matt orange, finally a clear coat to seal and give a slight gloss finish.
This same process wa repeated on his head, and inbetween the grooves of the horns i used a copper colour, also rebuilt his goaty beard and bought it out more, also building a lump just under his teeth, making his face more outwards.
His neck had a final piece of piping added, before going into black,and weathered in silver and copper, and orange piping feeding his neck pipes, I will use this same piping in his boby at some stage.
His whole head swivels on the neck, so once i get further ahead he'll start to really take shape.
Bought myself a titanuim Galvatron, repainted certain sections to make him more g1, but as a little nod to the movie, made the tinyest matrix and put it on a chain round his neck. Took ages to build. as it was small blimming small!!!LOL!!
Anyway enjoy the pics,
all the best

Colin, this build continues to astound; even on a minuscule level with that 'lil Matrix - your skills are extraordinary!
The modifications you've made to Unicron's brain look superb with the lights, as do the additions of the 'flowing' energon crystals and finer details around the neck, collar and head.
Keep up the excellent work dude and do keep us posted on your progress, when and where you're able to.![]()
