Hey guys, first time poster here. I realize this is a robot, but figured it would be something this group could appreciate. This is something I've been working on (and off) for about seven months. Started as a Kawasaki green Ninja Roadbot. For those that don't know, Roadbots, while officially licensed vehicles, are a pretty inferior product when compared to Transformers. This thing was probably the most mod-intensive of anything I've done so far.
- Sculpted new head (I realize it looks a little small, that's due to the transformation process) - New hands (from Zildjian) with styrene gauntlets that attach via magnet - Exhaust connects with magnet now, original connection was very brittle - Pistol holster and knife sheath attach via magnets mounted to inside of leg. - Built his grenade-laden chest shield with the original chrome piece, 1:12 GI Joe grenades, and parts from a 1:12 SWAT figure from Big Lots. - Sculpted the handle, added a styrene hand-guard, shortened and curved the blade on his sword (was originally a longer broadsword type) - Chopped up the original assault rifle that came with the SWAT figure to look more like a sub-machine gun. - Custom printed chrome, red, and dark grey metallic decals and graphics - Custom designed GI Joe/Autobot logo (I actually have a TON of these leftover if anybody is interested in them) - Super glossy bike parts that I polished and waxed, flat black robot parts, drybrushed with silver chrome enamel, and gold/red/silver highlights. I really enjoyed painting this guy, despite some QC issues in the Roadbots factory. Comments and criticism welcome! |

Thanks for the comments, guys! I may try to do a 6" Snake Eyes to ride this thing. I've never done a custom Joe before, but might as well start with this one!
