    Default Classics Cliffjumper G1 Porsche Reshell

    First off, I am never doing a reshell again. Those of you who successfully do these things are the true masters. This thing was going to be a fully transformable reshell, but I f'ed it up at the last minute, so now it's an "action master". I display all of mine in bot mode anyway, so no big deal.

    Anywho, I took a United Bumblebee, did a reshell with a 1/32 Porsche '63 Turbo kit, used a WFC Cliffjumper head, and voila'. Now we have G1 Cliffjumper. Only thing left to do now is find a giant cannon for him to use. Also pictured is Classics Goldbug (United BB + Goldbug kit from Venksta, plus I did the door mod so they wrap around the feet now instead of being on the arms).

    Sorry for the bad pics, for some reason I had an especially shaky hand today.

    As always, comments & critiques are welcome. Enjoy!

    That is pretty sharp... I love the feet the most for some reason.

    That came out pretty good, not bad for a cherry popper. What happened that botched the transformation?

    Lol at the first sentence by the way, I said that after the first and second one I did

    I lined up the legs properly when I applied the glue to the left foot/leg. Yet, for some reason, after it dried it shifted everything and it was lower than the other leg. Not noticeable in robot mode, but the right side doesn't line up right in alt mode.

    Looks good dispite the fact that he can't transform.

    Still looks great man...believe me crap happens doing these reshells. If you ever do another use epoxy putty to attach the hard to align stuff then once dry stick devcon where you can to strengthen the attached pieces. I did this to the 2 Wheeljacks that I'm doing and it works great.
