Constructicons (1/6): LONG HAUL

[darkpsi]

At LONG last I am extremely proud and excited to present my form of the Constructicons and Devastator. Obvisously this is a project based on the Ptitvite / Frenzy_Rumble model with a few tweaks to make it my own. This set of figures is my first custom project and was a great way to learn and gain confidence to go off and do something unique next time around.

Thanks go to Mike (Frenzy_Rumble) for not only his gift to the community but his willingness to help newcomers to the craft. Also thanks go to Sculpt-Bot for his casted Devastator heads (which will be seen later).

Every other day I will show a new Constructicon all leading up to Devastator himself. (Bare with me as I am shooting the figures and prepping them for display here.)

Since I am new to all this, please let me know what you guys think!

First up, we start with Long Haul:

View the LONG HAUL set at my Flickr album: Long Haul - Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/53235585@N08/sets/72157624670662321/)

MOLD USED:
- Energon Demolishor

MODS:
- Switched out and locked truck grill at chest for robot and alt mode
- Added new ball joint for head to give better range of motion and ability to tuck in during alt mode
- Lowered dump bed for robot mode so it sits lower and looks more accurate

THOUGHTS:
- This mold is an excellent representation of Long Haul and works perfectly for stability in combined mode. Range of articulation offers up plenty of posing options.

Thanks guys! I made his head green since it rested on the grill which is black. Some of my constructions have black heads others have green. I made the call on what looked best with the character's color scheme.

Can't wait to show the rest!

Looks fantastic. That Demolisher mold really works for Longhaul. I think painting the head green was a good choice. Can't wait to see the other 5.
