G1 Star Convoy Remodeled

As promised, the update begins. Honestly, the update should have begun with a Classics Thundercracker but like I mentioned before, the pics aren't prepared yet.

So what was the next project? A remodeled G1 Star Convoy from a Galaxy Force Megalo Convoy. This project has been on going for roughly a month plus, but only manage to get it uploaded here now since I didn't manage to pass it to my good pal Arya (the owner if you all might ask...). I purposely didn't take any of my own pics since the thought of only Arya could justify this fella.

Okay, a little brief on the makings. It started of with a base robot Megalo Convoy. This big boy was huge, and had the best articulation on a Transformer. So, after comparing it to the original G1 Star Convoy...it almost matched. What about the head? Well, I had an old G2 Laser Optimus Prime which was a really bad shape. Took the head and remodeled it a bit with a ball joint system. The V-fin on the forehead was made with Pla-plate and an some detailing parts for Gundam. The chest and shoulder cannons were taken from my busted 1/100 Gundam Leopard. And what happened next? Go on and have a look...

I'd like to say thanks to those who have been supporting me in my work. And just to inform, RK Designs is now a legit business. It's been registered and slowly working its way in the world ...Again, if it wasn't for loyal supporters (who have become my regular customers) there wouldn't even be an RK Designs.

Another thing I'd like to mention, a saddening news that a good friend of mine has taken leave of collecting Transformers. He informed me that he was quitting and planning to sell most of his collection. Why it disheartened me? Because this friend of mine was the one that was originally responsible for helping RK Designs to be where it is now. I hope that you won't totally leave Transformers collecting bro...maybe one day you'll get the mood again and join us again in the world of collecting. Again thanks Shah...for everything (that includes Alt Mirage, SolarStreak and the rest of the gifts you gave..heh...)

I bit you all adieu till the next update!
