Thanks for the info I'll be able to correct some lose ball joint in the future but for my Longarm, the problem finally was that the ball wasn't snaped correctly in the socket. Now it's tight enough to allow some good pauses.

I know this isnt a gallery but I'd thought I'd throw this in for all those who might be interested.
I hope it inspires others to do their own customs just as others have inspired me to this one.

Would the real Divebomb Alt. please stand up.....

Thanks to reprolabels & superquad7 ! ! !
I loved the reprolabels Divebomb conversion set by Dec0y13, but always thought it was kind of a waste to put them on without getting rid of that awful white color.(which worked great for Ricochet)
NOW he's Divebomb ! ! !
This is partial repaint #2 for me....also Predacon Alt. #2
This will go great with my Binaltech Rampage Predacon .

ENJOY ! ! !

One thing I love about your Predacon characters is how the only weathered area's are the bot parts, and the car mode if fine. Gives them a real mechanical look.

DAK's Random Tip #3

Subject: Unidentified Custom Project
Materials Used: Chubby Pop bottle, Ball Point Pen, Styrene, Leg of E Megatron.

For as long as I have been customizing, I have always enforced one simple thing. Think outside the box. let me show you and example.

I needed to make a certain part for my character, and I had no TF's that fit the exact shape and size of what I was looking for, so i went to the grocery store. There they had a dollar section (and yes I could have gone to the dollar store) and I started to look for objects that fit what I was looking for. I eventually made my way to the soft drinks, and found what I needed. This:



I got home, cleaned out the bottles and cut away:



After working on it, here's the end result. Still not finished, and i cannot tell you what it's for... but you can guess if you'd like. lol.

I have no clue.

Some kind of "limb in a jar" setup? I personally would have gone for a "head in a jar" one. :P

Looks like something you'd wear on your head to help keep the government from reading your mind....

Are you trying to recreate the scene from the movie with the possessed Nokia cellphone?
