The Turbomasters WIP (Pic Heavy)
 

A sentai team from the Turbomasters? Why the hell not right?

This idea has been something I've wanted to do for years....but the sentai aspect only came in when thinking of what I could do to make Thunderclash's trailer.....as of right now it's only a sketch.

So for now, here are some wip pics of the individual figures

This is going to be awesome, exceptional choice of molds! Love the turbine!!!

Re: Roketto Sentai Tābomasutāzu (Turbomasters) WIP (Pic Heavy)
 

I plan to design and make all the turbines, plus Thunderclash's and Rotorstorm's guns. I always make an excuse to use design software :p

Managed to finish Rotorstorm nearly, without the guns however.

Nice WIP thread.

With those big-ass turbomaster engines they will definitely "rock you like a hurricane".

Re: Roketto Sentai Tābomasutāzu (Turbomasters) WIP (Pic Heavy)
 

This is coming along nicely. I look forward to seeing more.

So I got another box from Shapeways this week, so I decided to get a bit more work done on Rotorstorm and Hurricane. Here are the results;

Those plates have a %mm port for the guns to plug in in helicopter mode....

....and form a possible arm cannon for robot mode. (Note I'm just using MW Sandstorm's guns as a placeholder)

Hurricane's engine plugs into the tabs for the original engine from Sunstreaker/Sideswipe/Red Alert....

...and becomes a weapon...duh :p

Got a bit more done on Hurricane tonight, and got me another shipment from Shapeways containing a sword....
