'Ello. I'm new here (obviously, I wouldn't be posting here otherwise). Let's see, basics...
I'm a student in central Florida. I normally build Star Wars models, though I've got some Gundams sitting around (and more on the way), and I'm working on an extremely large project.
The large project? Well, I have contacts at ILM, and I got my hands on the 3D models of every single Transformer that appears in the movie. So what am I doing with them? Sculpting each individual part, of course. The 3D models were designed in such a way that if they were made into real bots (or models), they could be transformed completely. I started with the Cell Phone transformer, and went from there. Each one of them, except for the cell phone, the steering wheel, and the Xbox (which was a full model that was just never seen completely), is built in 1/24 scale, so that I can hide them among my other car models that I've made over the years for practice or testing of new techniques. I'm thinking about making the Mountain Dew machine (which I haven't done yet) in a larger scale, though, probably 1/6 (or maybe life-size, if I can get away with it, but I don't have the room right now). And no, I will not be posting the files online anywhere, and pics of the models will have to wait a bit (have to get permission from Hasbro), and no kits, ever. Unless you can get permission from Hasbro (and everyone else, I think it's like 50 people), pay to get the parts copied (gonna be expensive, over $200, I think, for the cell phone), and are looking forward to building a kit of almost ten thousand parts. Honestly, I'm mainly doing this to work up to having a 4 foot tall Movie-style Optimus Prime fighting a 4 foot tall Movie-style Megatron. (No, that's not the actual height, I'm just guesstimating at 3:30 in the morning. Live with it, or go figure the heights out yourself.)
