Hasbro Phase 1 Clone Trooper Mod Continued

 

Clone Trooper bucket mod, starting the paint process by laying down the primer and painting parts gloss white in increments. This is the part I really hate as masking is not really my strong suit but we soldier on.

Me and the Boys Boarding the Train

PSA for the Grand River Transit for their May Fourth promo.

Megaro Zamac: Jhau Zamac

 

Megaro Zamac: Jhau Zamac this is definitely an old school 80's kit and the engineering shows, however I'm planning on making mods to improve on this 旧キット, (Kyū kitto) or old kit as the term.

The plan is to add better proportions to make it look less like a limited brick and more like a modern update.

I will attempt to do this by slicing the parts up and making radical alterations, adding and building up areas while still retaining the spirit of the original mech. 

Starting with this...

Separating the waist and revising the power hoses.

Cutting out the visor/eye area. The head gives me a Gyan or Dom vibes.

Reshaped the head and added a waist extension with wires for swivel in the legs. 

Also improved the "A stance on the legs making them spread wider to look more aesthetically pleasing.

Added some interior details in the head, not sure if they will show up but it looks cool.

While I was at it I decided to mold some resin copies of my Mastergrade GM federation pilots. It took 4 tries (the first one broke into pieces and cannot be shown) but I eventually got it right. Not really related to the subject model, but cool nonetheless.

Final Faction Arrow ATV

 

Just picked up the Arrow ATV from the Final Faction line from my local Dollar Tree. 

It's a durable vehicle for under 5 dollars and the build quality is durable and compatible with 3.3/4 figures.

I had some extra Crimson Guard sentries lying about that had no weapons or accesories and I've managed to gear them up with the accessory packs that come with Final faction figures. The end result is quite nice. 

Good vehicle for a good price. 

Update: Just received the Arrow ATV armour upgrade kit.

Final Faction P 131 Automated Drone

 

What happens when you combine ED-209 with a Destroid Tomahawk and put the Crusher Joe Power suit on it's head? 

You get the Final Faction P-131, this figure is a classic five point articulation offered by Dollar Tree.

This plus this...

You get this...

The figure is nicely done with solid construction and durable plastic quality.

Some size comparisons with other figures.

Another surprisingly good figure from Dollar Tree.
