Articulate G1 Kickback (WiP)

[Malwave]

hey gang, just a small thread for a nice little side project I'm undertaking right now; got me a G1 Kickback (thank you Jefro :3), and I have been inspired by a few others on various kitbashing forums to make him go from brick to poser.

Now, here's my problem; never done this before lol. So I was wondering if I could get some advice on hos to impliment it

My plan was to use Beast Machines Mirage's waist, thighs and arm sections, but what my problem ended up being was the legs are too thin, as are the arms.

Any suggestions at all? (I'll post some pics to illustrate what I mean later on lol

Pics would be great to see. that would give us a better idea of the parts you want to use.

But I'd say take a look at any & all pics you can of one's that have been done.
that's what I did, it really was not that hard to figure out.

well actually, I DID make somewhat of a waist; hafta see how it goes together mind you

but yes, here are some pics; not sure how I shall articulate the arm sections

EDIT: since the camera I used likes making pics over 2 MB, I've uploaded them to photobucket. xD here is the link to them; http://s21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...G1%20Kickback/

In terms of paint details, touched up the silver face and helmet, painted his translucent chest yellow, but kept the original sticker in place (have no idea how I free-handed around that xD)
