Finally you knwo Im down

You could go all out and get the knight trailer too

Alex (Exo) if you watch the end it was made with Lightwave for the animation and then Adobe After Effects for probably the light beams and stuff. and Real Explosions. Not sure if that is a program of they cropped out explosions and added them in.

Hey watch this while listening to the Macross TV Theme song it sounds really great and the timing is pretty good too.

Go get a copy of the 20th Anniversary Macross DVD. It is in it.

Jsut walked in to the topic. Honestly were you expecting much from this company?

dont you see they are trying to faze in an ostrich color scheme but ran out of orange die.

Yeah been fortunate to spend my money there a bunch of times in japan.

why? the pt cruiser is the ugliest car ever made.

WRONG. That title belongs to the Pontiac Aztek.

Are you sure cause its a close tie with the vibe

Does it have to have color? I like the Animeigo Black. I was thinking of having Black anodized wih the macross logo in silver.

I also added the racing gas cap liek that on the Mini Cooper S and this corvette that is in my APT complex

Close up. Oh I cant use teh cybertron radials cause the width and diammeters are a little off. So now I got it on goodyear tires

And more mods to Sideswipe. Had to get rid of the bling bling dubs it was riding on and go for some real looking viper GTSR rims. snazzy huh?

Chopper Asp!!!

Im confused. So does it come with the cardboard trailer? i notice it has the interior of the trailer but is it liek the takara version?

I search the occasional Socalairsoft forums and other websites like Ebay then play with my toys

Are you planning to mod Sideswipe anymore Solscud? 

Yep. I got a Viger GTS diecast and will put those rims on and when i get another sideswipe I will do a racing version. Jsut white stripes and Spoiler. Maybe it will be a sunstreak version.

Here is a full shot of the car with engine bay

Here is my detailed engine bay for sideswipe

As long as the boards are up thats all i care. Oh and skins. Can 1.3b use the old black macross skin?

And here it is with the doors and wheels to the side of the arms. Much better huh?

See here is a pic of the wing open version.

Also I didnt like jsut swapping the hands. I swapped arms. Now there is a problem if you do this. Do not swap the bicep portion of the arms. They are positioned in such a way as to being detrimental to transformation in car mode if swapped. Unscrew the screw in the bicep. Remove the lower portion of the arm and swap that forearm assembly with the other side. that way you dont have gaps on the outside of the arms.

oh yeah this is what you need to do for the trunk mod

Ok I tried to look up the correct alternate tranformation for Lambo but could not find it. So here is my Sideswipe alternate transformation. I remember that the trunk was the chest and I thought the doors were opened like wings (from some TF website a while back) If you do this the trunk only closes so much on the chest.

If the wings are open and the wheels are behind the shoulders facing backwards, the wheels block the fender from going over the shoulder. Now if you have the wings and wheels to the side of the shoulders then there is clearance for the wheel well to fit over the chest shoulders.

Jsut got my Sideswipe yesterday. Its ok. Not bad for 20 but still like my Smokey
