Hey guys, while I was waiting for some of my real customs to dry I thought I'd fix up Mainframe. I basically dremaled out the fugly Mainfrme head we got and plopped the helmet on Grandslams head and that was it, easy as. Just some advice if anyone else tries this, go slow and be careful. Thanks for looking.

That looks much better. I don't know why they didn't give us a removable helmet in the first place.

What dremel tip do you guys use when you are hollowing out heads/helmets.

Thanks guys, I'm thinking about swapping out his left had as well though it's not bad for when he is at his computer, I used an ingraving bit, at least thats what they call it. Here's a pic of it.

This is a great idea that turned out looking really good! Kudos, sir!
For those that liked the grumpy face, I think the comic pack Hawk head is a pretty close match to the Mainframe face sculpt. That head is also fairly small, so it should fit into the Mainframe helmet easily. |
