    Kelvin,

    I could see that head working

    This page lists him as being approximately 6" tall but will you be happy with his scowl...

    Um, but isnt the G1 busts made of porcelain or something? You wouldn't be able to pry off the head from that kelvin if it is.

    Very true, but I'm sure he could cut it off and drill/sand in a socket of sorts to place on the ball joint.

    It looks very good Kelvin, cant wait to see it with the head attached. Just hope you can find a statue at a low price seeing what you want to do to it!

    Thanks for all the comments.

    Paulbot - will definitely let you know if I have a spare. I will even give it to you for free. so here's rooting this project turns out well so I will do the ratchet.. hehe

    Pulse - Thanks. Actually apparently there is a Diamond one coming out. Better head. I wonder if that would fit and should I wait.

    Liegeprime & I_am_Trunks - yeah, agreed to be tricky if Porcelain, am finding out now. Thought it was just PVC, although it is still possible. I take it no one owns these busts in on the board.

    Yeah, definitely, I am thinking of putting a ball point that fits so that it can turn left right and up down for the head. And I have the gears already for it. Just waiting on the seller's response about the bust. If it all fits well, I will get it. Found one for $10 but the shipping is steep. If it matches, I will still go with it. Its a 6" bust, and I saw pictures of the Wheeljack one next to the MP Prime, the head size looks perfect. But I am not sure if this is the same.

    Will definitely update as I do more.

    Do you guys reckon I should paint the body (back) metal colour or leave it red. True G1 is metal brownish type colour.

    Thanks for all the feedback so far. Really appreciate it.
