G1 Predaking Modernized custom

[haydenite]

This is a custom that I've been working on for the past few months in the little spare time that I have.
I have scratch built the lion mane, crotch panel, neck panel and wing adaptor. Built new thighs on a base frame that has ratcheted joints.
Both arms now have new connector posts that allow upward and outward movement for that natural outward stance.
Head has full articulation.
missile launchers have full rotation and articulation.
Scratch built Feet have ankle tilt and toe tilt built in, gives him that modern and tough appearance.

2 wing adaptors that allow adding either the UT warlord wings,
JINBAO OS Rex wings.
The original G1 wings can still be used if you wanted to and for those that want, this also means the Crazy devy wing.
Just wanted to share my time and effort in this custom.
Hope you guys like it and thanks for looking.

Thanks for the kind words..
He is still WIP with things like new hands and possibly 2 new extra feet for swapping Headstrong and Tantrum for "cartoon" accuracy, but these aren't that important so I'll do them slowly.

Care to elaborate on how you made the custom parts yourself? Always interesting to hear how it was made, not just to see

Most of the scratch built parts were made of plastics ranging from different size perspex, and evergreen styrene sheets (mainly black).
Lots of super glue, knurled pins, screws and smallish nails.

A solid dremel, tons of sanding and late nights !!!

If theres anything in particular you'd like to know, just ask, but in the meantime, here are some of my WIP pics of the custom..
