Hey all. Here's a shot showing the posable joints on my 1:25th scale Movie Style Soundwave figure similar to my Swindle/Decepticon Drone and my Mustang Autobot found here [link] and here [link]
I'm basing my Soundwave on my Balkan MK6 SW design [link] and the J. Egerton & Mit Gas designs while keeping Soundwave's classic G1 visual cues in mind, of course.
Obviously, I don't have a Balkan MK6 model kit, so I'm using a Revell Humvee Kit, Legos, styrene and bits from Marvel Megamorph figures.
Made from everything but the kitchen sink. I used Bionicle and Exoforce pieces, Games Workshop bits, bits from a Microman Magnaforce figure, hands and head bits from a Marvel Megamorph Wolverine figure, 1:6 scale military weapons bits, Neoshifter bits and weapons, bits from a Big Lots Gundam KO, custom parts made from sheet styrene, green stuff and epoxy sculpt, a G1 Soundwave missle and a 1:25 scale Revell Humvee model kit.
He stands at 11 inches now. So in the real world, he'd be about 23 feet tall. He is very posable.
I had a ton of fun working on this guy. Soundwave is one of my favorites.
I have to thank Dynamo [link] & Mit Gas [link] from dm.net. Much of this custom is based on ideas we bounced off one another as well as my own movie Soundwave design. Please feel free to visit their DA sites and have a look at all their terrific artwork.
Thanks a lot for taking a look and for any comments you might like to share.
Infinately superior to the actual ROTF Soundwave (although you have to admit his voice was bitchin' thanks to Welker) who I did actually enjoy quite a bit... but only because I had to explain to my dad why I found his "love scene" uncomfortable to watch (it's something about the way Welker moans after he "connects" to the satellite. oh dear)
I am really loving this guy's head though
