Well, I figured I have prime, might as well make a decepticon counterpart for him. Im laid up for a week so have been gettign some stuff done. Im basing it off a k100 aerodyne, and the full size found at www.decepticonmotormaster.com , but im also using artistic liscence and building it how i think it should be. Im stretching a globeliner frame and the sleeper, also raking back the raised portion of the sleeper slightly the make it a little more angular , and in my opinion meaner looking. I also built the grille using just the core of the stock globeliner one, once again, its my take on the cartoon, not a real k100.

here are some shots, opinions welcome!

building the grille.......











and of course my daughter is very excited and insisted she makes it into some of the pics ..

heres a few more, what do you think of the purple?

[civic83]

oh and as always, yes i know my workbench is a mess lol

[Tamiya Cowboy]

I like that you are putting your own twist on it I think the racked back roof and the sharper point on the grill peek fits it very well also longer frame I like that cause well I like a stretched out truck and the purple is perfect..

[SWAGGER]

You're making good use of your recovery week anyway. Hope you are back on your feet soon. In the meantime, great start, love the grill.

Oh, and I don't think you could actually get a more "Decepticon" purple, it's right on the money. This and Prime will make a really cool pair.

got some filler started

[Diesel Demond]

[BRICKNICK]

Awesome start so far man. I'll keep my eyes on this one.

[Goose19]

I like the grill work civ, much straighter than mine

really liking the purple, seems a popular colour lately....... I was planning on going purple too.

and like I tell my wife, a messy workbench its a sign of a genious!

That purple is insane looking I really like it. I like the twist you are putting on that cab great job can't wait to see the finished product.

There are some photos floating around the web, of the 1:1 truck, and it's awesome. It will be neat to see this one come together. The purple looks right on. Your daughter reminds me of my niece. She looks happy to be hanging out with you. My niece was hanging out with me last night, while I was doing some machining in the basement. Ahh, kids.
