Custom: G1 Whirl

[snaketales]

One of those Iron Man II drones could be used to provide a Whirl head.
Unfortunately I have seen them available only as a 4-pack in TRU for $50.....

Another idea for the head is to have a look at some of the Tau Warhammer 40K models at Games Workshop. No idea what this thing is called but the heads on these guys are pretty Whirly if you ask me.

I had a look at the 3rd party head. It looks like it might be built for a voyager class whirl so I presume it will be too big to tuck away below the canopy in heli mode.

Tau heads are very Whirly! Those 40k miniatures are pretty tiny though, does anyone know if there is a Tau figure with a head in scale with a deluxe?

Iron Man II drones look promising snakey, might be the right size too

Maybe you can sculpt a new head using putty. Good work so far.

cool dude. didnt know you were a 'basher.

yeah, thats a good idea. it shouldnt be too hard to do with styrofoam and putty either as there is no detailed face to sculpt.

Progress so far. He's been a fun paint. A lot of a paint scuffing during transformation. I'm unsure how to proceed with the remaining plastic grey and tan parts. Ideally I should paint them black but I kind of like them the way they are. Also should Whirl have black hands or just ridiculously long arms?



I'm not much of a sculptor but I may give putty a go. In the meantime i'll just have to live with the sawn-off-chupachupstick-painted-red-and-jammed-inside-a-screwhole makeshift whirl head

Something came in the mail today so you all get a sneak preview of my next disaster project
