By the way, I've tried to do as much to the existing helmet as I could to make it look more like Yellow's. New chin guard, new visor colour. Is it working or should I scratch build a new one?
-
Thanks, dude. Sorry. Only decent opportunity for decent photos is an outside shoot which I may try tomorrow morning Cheers! Thanks Cheers! Glad people like it. Though, Tober looks to be the one to really knock it out of the park. I did my best grafting 1980's Imai parts to a 2000's transforming toy. It's not perfect but i'm pretty happy with the results. At least I can be the first to brag of having a BlowSuperior Beagle....I think:)
-
Still a lot to do.....
-
Getting there....
-
Is "Tober" a compliment in of itself? If so, those parts are looking DAMN Tober
-
What colour should the missile hatches on the BS cowling be? Light blue like the seat or white? Various depictions in the artwork and show have both colour schemes.
-
Sweet mamma-jamma. That is awesome. How about the engine block and the seat?
-
Heh. Any chance you have pics?
-
If Shapeways is involved, could we not design a completely new part that would more replicate the Toynami/Aoshima connection? As solid as the new CM's parts are, they are just nowhere near as elegant as the other toy's attempt.
-
The cowling and seat could all be swapped out without much trouble but the gauntlets are a real pain. I had to destroy the original connection point and glue on a new one to allow them to rotate into place for Ride Armor.
-
That'll be one firstborn, please
-
Thanks! I'm hoping someone does a Shapeways upgrade kit as this was a fairly easy mod to do.
-
Still a loooong way to go until it's finished.
-
Cheers! Honestly, I want to stay as close to Beagle as possible. So no weathering or panel lines, unfortunately.
-
Pretty easy to turn Stick's blue visor green. Daft Punk?
-
Thanks for the kind words I'm really happy to be the first one to do this custom (that I know of). Actually, there isn't really that much to replacing the under suit. The sleeves only go from the elbow to the shoulder and just tuck into the gap in the armor. The lower body only goes from the knees to the solar plexus. All you need to do is pop off the crotch plates, unscrew the legs at the hip joint. Then, put the jump suit (which should have already had the lower legs and upper torso chopped off) onto the legs, screw the legs back on at the hips, then pull up the suit and tuck it under the solar plexus. Then pop on the crotch plates. I'll try to post picks. I'll take some pics of Stick later tonight to illustrate. But it's pretty intuitive.

Thanks!
-
Yeah But now I have to do the design true justice! The pressure!!
-
Heh. I guess i'm doing something right because Shinji Aramaki likes my wip
-
Heh. And then there'd be no more Stick or Ley Beagle's left.
-
Damn, the Beagle Yellow would have been awesome.
-
Dry parts fitting and the started painting up Yellow. Still need to mod the helmet further.

You're not based in Japan, are you? If not, pleeeease tell me you ship to Japan!
-
Well, i'm meeting up with Renato and Save on friday. One of them must have an in. Just gotta get those ninja suits and grappling ropes.
-
Yeah, I noticed that To be honest, i'm just going to leave the engine as is. The front part of the cowl is already in place, now dealing with how to get those bloody missile bays looking good.
