I have been working away on Thrust for the TFCON'13 charity project an I figured I would post some update shots.
I spent a bit of time with sketches and moke-ups using the original roof and windshield but I wasn't a 100% convinced on the direction I was going and wasn't getting much done.
Luck would change when on one of my outings to Value Village looking for TF's I came across this toy and it just screamed "USE ME", So I picked it up.
I have since proceeded to hack it up and convert it for my use, this is What I've got so far, much happier with this and it even has more of a Thrust look now.
So here it is so far, in Vehicle mode. Robot images will be after the head is done as I still have to scratch build it and still have some minor work left on the car.
Here a concept color image photoshoped from Sideswipe, this is what I'm hoping it will look like in robot, well not exaclty but close.
