8-foot UNICRON custom update youtu.be/hmcnWgXLUQk?siโฆ via @YouTube
๐ช๐ Unicron's upper-body assembly takes shape as I narrow-down dimensions. I started with oversized-panels & trimmed-down the edges in Paintshop to get a good-visual before making final-cuts today. Gotta be heavy-duty support to hold-up the arms & wings, no way around it. ๐ช๐ค




8ft Unicron build update! Finally got the big-guy outside yesterday for good pics & video. He's about 50-60% completed now. Wingspan will be about 8ft wide & just as tall once finished. I built a custom skid to move him around easier, he's a beast! ๐ช๐




8ft Unicron-project is about halfway-there! Hip-paneling is finally going down & painting will be finalized on the lower-body soon. ๐ช๐

๐ท๐ท Update: Unicron's hip-section is on-the-move & nearing completion, almost at the 50% mark.... ๐ท Cod-piece (center-crotch) is done front & back, and just finished-up the side-cogs (hip-joints) yesterday.

๐ช๐ Final-shading on Unicron's legs are finally coming to a close today....these pics are from a few days ago, but both legs are now finally done & ready to reassemble. The legs will permanently join at the hips and come together as one big piece, almost to the halfway-point!๐

A little fun today before I reinstall & permanently bolt the leg-pipes back into place. ๐ช๐ This is NOT a cosplay-project, the statue-legs just happen to be big-enough for my legs to fit-in. ๐ Gettin out of these things was like a Chinese-Leg-Trap! ๐ฅถ

Hip-section begins on the 8ft Unicron! Now that those panels are cut & dimensions are established, I can finally start to close-in the shins & finish the legs up. ๐ช๐


8ft Unicron update: Upper-leg panels taking shape! Hope to be done with the legs & hips by the end of the month, and be halfway-through the Unicron-build. ๐ช๐




I got so excited about finally getting to the mid-section yesterday, I went ahead & cut the upper-thigh templates just to get a peek at the proportions. ๐ท๐ท 2nd template I cut seems to be spot-on, so I'm gonna go with this for now & start paneling around the pipe.๐

Unicron-update: The other half of the lower leg-ccesories are finished & primed-up now, ready to go-on & paint. A ton of parts went into just the shins alone! ๐ฅต I'll call these the ankle-shackles, knee-vents & side-rails. He didn't have knee-spikes in the movie, but mine will.๐

8ft Unicron update ๐ช๐ Just a little teaser til I get things finalized for the most-part on the shins....There's been a ton-more scratch-building for the aesthetics just on the shins alone past couple of weeks, I promise there's much more to see soon.... ๐๐




๐ช๐ I finally got all of Unicron's foot-panels assembled as single-pieces front & back, and I couldn't help myself today.... I just had to see what this was gonna look like in the 2-greys I had in mind..... I think I like it ๐ Tested this on one of the rear-heels assemblies.

8-foot Unicron-update: Unicron's feet & ankles starting to take-shape! Side "toes" are made & front-toe step-down templates are place-takers for a visual til I make the actual-parts. ๐ค๐ Starting to come to life a little bit! Also updating this project on FB, IG & TFW2005๐๐



Haven't been active on here since I signed-up, but I will be! I've been commissioned to scratch-build an 8ft "Unicron" statue, construction has already begun. I'll be posting updates on here as well as FB & IG. The foot-structures & one leg-shin cut & formed yesterday. ๐ช๐ค
