Timelines 06 Tarantulas - The Real kitbash

[Paulbot]

Nice job. It does indeed fit in with the other Predacons very well.

I also like the way you've incorporated his weapon into the bike mode.

Excellent work!

BTW any plans for Terrorsaur & Scorponok?

Thanks for all your comments guys. I really do appreciate it

Excellent work!

BTW any plans for Terrorsaur & Scorponok?

I do, I have molds in mind for them but not sure if they are right since both characters have pretty unique transformations and body shape. I wasn't sure how to do a Tarantuals until Reverb showed up.

I reckon Energon Scorponok should do okay -- again, a digibash prototype might give you an idea. What about Energon Skyblast for Terrorsaur? You'll need to sand back the sculpted Autobot logos though - but I imagine that would be relatively simple for someone as skilled as you.

Energon Skyblast is indeed the figure that I had in mind for Terrorsaur.

In regards to Scorponok, I reckon Energon Scorponok has a matching concept but the toy does not portray the correct personality for the character. It looks too much like a leader character, specially when the robot mode design pays tribute so closely to the G1 Scorponok toy.

I had Energon Insecticon in mind but not sure yet.

Looks great! Could you post a comparison pic with your kitbash next to the original Tarantulas?

thats an awesome job there Kup, he fits in perfectly with the rest of the figures

Kup, I think you've done an absolutely awesome job on this Pre-Beast Wars Tarantulas.
My only suggestion would be some black pin striping along the edges of the green stripes in his alt mode to help them stand out but also to help break up the amount of purple that shows up in bot mode, I'd also consider putting some black somewhere on his head for the same reasons.

Your choice of shades for the Purple, Green and Lemon/Lime are spot on, as is the Goldy-Bronze you've chosen for the rear of the bike, feet and arachno-eyes.

All in all though, Pre-Beast Wars Tarantulas fits right in with the rest of the Dawn of Futures Past set, which I'm so incredibly jealous of , so you should be proud dude as IMO you hit the mark pretty damn well.

Thank you very much

In regards to black outlines on the stripes, I am afraid that I don't have the skills to do it. It was very hard for me to paint the green stripes as they are.

He looks perfect amongst your Timelines toys. The head's great, I like the way you implemented the grappling hook, great colours and a characteristically well-planned start to your future career as a customiser.

Fantastic work kup, he looks amazing and fits in so well with the others.
