What's Next?

Had a few ideas when I dismantled Hot Rod and removed bits of plastic here and there... then couldn't make up my mind on whether to customize him into a Decepticon or Autobot! It's one of those days...

Minor Custom BW Rhinox... 1st custom in 2 years!!!!

I'm back!!! I can't believe that it's been over 2 years since I'd last done a custom or blogged here... in that time, I got a new job and now have 2 kids :) That would explain my lack of time to pursue this hobby as my kids keep me very much on my toes! :D

Anyhow, I'd recently acquired a loose Hasbro Rhinox through a trade and FINALLY got to doing some minor customization on this bot! Yeeeesssssss... This has taken over 15 years to materialize! Seriously!

Back then when Beast Wars was first introduced, I hated the concept and had no interest in toys (or so I'd thought!).When the interest kicked in 2 years into the CG cartoon series, the price for a Rhinox was too high to warrant any customisation (wasn't working then as well)... which is just as well as I'd probably just destroyed the toy then as a custom to me then was to pour paint over an action figure!

This minor custom is done on a reissued Hasbro Rhinox... the one that came with parts for that weird non-transformable bot in Beast Wars (my TF memory is extremely rusty now... it's an age thing).

Well, less talk and let's see what's been done for this ole bot...

Off with his hands!

Notice the new rock hard rhino horn? (Hmmm... that sounds dodgy!)No more flapping ears!Rhinox's ready to kick some pred's bottom! (gun's been modified to remove push mechanism and blades relocated to the front to reflect a little show accuracy... still spins!)
