2 words that both suck and rule....trial and error
i've done many bashes where i go and make the mistake and change one tiny thing,only to have that change affect alt mode in negative ways...arrrrggg.
but you seem to be making good progress.
keep at'er

Well time for an update, the next one might be a few weeks so I got a bit of work done in case.





Got tired of working on the legs/front body so took a break and went back to the upper body instead. Got the shoulders of grim’s cut down and fitted, again more work here than I envisioned but got it to work with a quick design change



















Filled in the front sides with more grimy donor parts, after fitting the shoulders .














Next to fit the arms, cut the forearms down as they were a little to large, and slotted the biceps










Trial fitted, sneak peek of the prelim head too as it needed to be trail fitted










That’s it for now will leave you with a couple of teasers as it may be a few more weeks before the next ones, which probably will just be minors




He needed a new weapon andd it will still fit in 2 pieces unter the rear tail section








And a treat an early fit test, prior to the head, dino mode

It's looking good so far. Looks like a big project to take on. I'm not that brave - (yet).

Yes definitely was "more than meets the eye" but if you break it down bit by bit it's ok, also if you copy me it will save you tons of time ;D

Enjoying doing it, but yes time consuming.

Well is been a haul for me, would have liked to get him done quicker but not a lot of free model time.

This will be the last update until he’s finished with paint, I do have him primed right now and some paint applied so it’s getting close.



Got him fully assembled for a quick low res photo, was kind of hard to position him as most of his joints are floppy prior to paint but this should give you an idea.

Thanks, trying too anyways, that way it will save me some cash for all those mp's coming out.

But I do like PX efforts real hard to resist, If I hadn't buoght a bunch of grimmys way back I think I would have caved for the them
