Started on a new model again. I wanted to make all of the characters from the Transformers Animated cartoon, decided to start with my favorite character, Wreck-Gar. When I first saw this cartoon I wasn't sure what to think, at first I didn't like it cause it just felt too different from the G1 series, but it grew on me after a while. I plan on making the robot mode and vehicle mode for each character that I make(no transformations) as proper reference allows. First the robot mode for Wreck-Gar!:mrgreen: Let me know what you guys think so far.

Small update, tweaked the shape a bit and removed some small parts for ease of build. Gonna start the uv unwrap and start the textures this weekend, after I watch some Transformers episodes:mrgreen: Hey it's research....yeah that's it:mrgreen:

No interest in this one from anyone? Plenty of views but no comments. :p

It is from that series, yes.

I think it's the name of the thread that's throwing people off. For the non-Transformers geeks " Ba Weep Gra Na Weep Ninny Bon" is the universal greeting that Wreck-Gar says in the original Transformers Animated movie(not current Animated) when he meets Hot Rod and Kup on Junkion planet. Thank you for the post, I'm glad you like it.

Finally got some time to get Wreckgar test built. Overall I was happy with the build except for a few flap positions that need changed and a few parts unfold need rearranged.

Ended up standing on its own surprisingly well without any need for weights or a stand. All the scribbles on the test build is just my note taking as I build it so I can remember what needs fixed, also I made an Autobot and Decepticon logo cause Wreckgar can't seem to decide which side he's on so I figured I'd let the builder decide for him

nice work
all that comes to mind is
Put your head inside a microwave and get yourself a tan

Thanks Crimson, and my response to your comment is "Put down that chainsaw and listen to me"

And how is it that you design models so fast?

Thanks Nav I'm glad you like it. As far as designing, I don't feel that I make them fast, actually I would say it takes me anywhere from 2-6 months from start to finish, maybe even longer. Look at the Omega Spawn model, it's been several months and is still sitting on my shelf about 75% built.:mrgreen: I try to set at least an hour or two every night after my kids go to bed to model and buff up my painting skills (or try to at least:mrgreen:) Oh and I hope I can have him ready for release by the beginning of May.


I made a little progress this morning on the textures for Wreckgar. So far I have the base colors laid down and started to add in some details, so these are far from being done. Can't decide whether to ditch the textures and build it with some sparkle cardstock, I'm liking these (mostly Gundams) models built with that paper more and more every day. Maybe I'll order a sample pack and test it out hmmmmm.

lol well you asked for it now
here goes

Put down that chainsaw and listen to me
It's time for us to join in the fight
It's time to let your babies grow up to be cowboys
It's time to let the bedbugs bite

You better put all your eggs in one basket
You better count your chickens before they hatch
You better sell some wine before it's time
You better find yourself an itch to scratch

You better squeeze all the Charmin you can while Mr. Wipple's not around
Stick your head in the microwave and get yourself a tan

Talk with your mouth full
Bite the hand that feeds you
Bite off more than you can chew
What can you do
Dare to be stupid

Take some wooden nickles
Look for Mr. Goodbar
Get your mojo working now
I'll show you how
You can dare to be stupid

You can turn the other cheek
You can just give up the ship
You can eat a bunch of sushi then forget to leave a tip

Dare to be stupid
Come on and dare to be stupid
It's so easy to do
Dare to be stupid
We're all waiting for you
Let's go

It's time to make a mountain out of a molehill
So can I have a volunteer
There's no more time for crying over spilled milk
Now it's time for crying in your beer

Settle down, raise a family, join the PTA
Buy some sensible shoes and a Chevrolet
And party 'till you're broke and they drag you away
It's OK, you can dare to be stupid

It's like spitting on a fish
It's like barking up a tree
It's like I said you gotta buy one if you wanna get one free

Dare to be stupid (yes)
Why don't you dare to be stupid
It's so easy to do
Dare to be stupid
We're all waiting for you
Dare to be stupid

Burn your candle at both ends
Look a gift horse in the mouth
Mashed potatos can be your friends

You can be a coffee achiever
You can sit around the house and watch Leave It To Beaver
The future's up to you
So what you gonna do

Dare to be stupid
Dare to be stupid
What did I say
Dare to be stupid
Tell me, what did I say
Dare to be stupid
It's alright
Dare to be stupid
We can be stupid all night
Dare to be stupid
Come on, join the crowd
Dare to be stupid
Shout it out loud
Dare to be stupid
I can't hear you
Dare to be stupid
OK, I can hear you now
Dare to be stupid
Let's go, Dare to be stupid
Dare to be stupid
Dare to be stupid....

Can't wait to build the mode

Made a wee bit more progress on him this morning. So far I have all of my color flats and shading down for the most part, so pretty much all that is left is the small details and the face. I may be able to have him released by next weekend.:thumb:

Thanks nav, should have him released by next weekend.



Well, I think I can call the textures done. I have a few small things to fix here and there but they're done for the most part. Going to re-do the unfold tomorrow, attempt to make some instructions ( I always fail at instructions) and I can get him released

Thanks Nav.:thumb:

Made up a cab for garbage truck mode and got it all textured up. I scaled down the garbage truck quite a bit so I could fit them both on one stand. Still working on getting the robot mode built up.
