Thought it would be fun to show a little more of what it takes to convert the 5inch 'Action Zords' into Retrofire-Esque versions.
Two that have progressed from the planning to construction phase are DekaBase Robo/S.P.D. Command Megazord and the Astro Megazord from PR In Space. DekaBase is bigger than your standard 5"-6" Retrofires/SRCs and will have 20 Points of Articulation. It's always depicted as being massive and larger than DekaRobo so I wanted to keep that scale. It's primarily made from a KO candy toy, a transforming Shadow Ranger Figure, and a Classics Optimus. What's everyone think of that hands? That's one thing I'm not 100% certain on so far. The Astro Megazord fits right in that 5"-6" Retrofire scale and will have 20 points of articulation when done. It's primarily made from an Action Zord and a classics Optimus Prime with gundam hands and ball joints from junk figures. Modified sword and shield is from Lego. Just need to attach the one hip 'wing' then it's off to the clean up stage before it hits paint. It's come along very very quickly and that's not a bad thing. New photos will be updated as the projects progress. Any constructive input is appreciated. Last edited by conundrum; 01-15-2013 at 09:17 PM.. |
