Here's the first of 2 WIP threads I'm starting today. A few people have told me they like the WIP steps as well as the finished product, so here it is. For this custom, following the advice of a close friend, I'm documenting all the time it takes to complete the job, something I've not done before - so far I've only ever done rough guesstimates.

Not much to show straight away, except for the initial disassembly. I have a few more pictures that I took of some of the inner workings of the TR Trypticon base mould for my own reference, so I remember where things go. They are not very exciting as they tend to lack context.

So, a disassembled Trypitcon:



And the smaller parts (some pictured in the above image already):



I also need to fabricate the horn. I used a dremel to cut down an MP seeker flight stand. Still needs a bit of fine sanding and finishing. I'll be painting it in a transparent orange lacquer on the finished product, so it stays more or less clear. I am still still deciding on whether or not I'll do the other 2 smaller horns on Gigastorm.



I've cleaned each and every piece with isopropyl alcohol to ensure it can take paint. Almost every single piece pictured will be painted in some way.

Current time spent: 2 hours, 40 minutes.
