This installment is, by its nature, self-explanatory. Let’s move on to this new weird thing! Davide Roman created a Narbonic gerbil Transformer. No, really, check this out:
Boss!
Davide writes, “The base figure is a Japanese Beast Wars ‘Stampy’ which turned into a rabbit. I clipped the ears and replaced them with some kneadatite (green stuff), and also used the kneadatite to create a tail. The tuft of the tail is the hair from an otherwise missing toy of ‘Bass’ from the Megaman games, and has a simple vinyl joint that allows it to be repositioned or removed as is needed. The whole thing was base-coated and then drybrushed in numerous colors of Testors brand model paint, including some wonderfully shiny copper bits. I only wish my webcam was of a better quality, or I could get some detailed macro views….
“If I did this again (and you can see that I do have another Stampy to work with, i used the box as a platform), I’d probably do a better job on the ears, and perhaps shorten the tail. That said, I’m happy with it, and I hope you all like it!”
As it is, I’m very impressed. Thanks, Davide!
Nice!

I started out life as a “Stampy”, a rabbit so plain …
But now I’ve been changed to a gerbil, and here I’ll remain!
My ears and my tail have been built up with green kneadatite!
Re-sculpted, re-shaped and re-painted, I’m feeling all right!
A gerbil transformer, oh yeah!
A gerbil transformer, oh yeah!
A gerbil transformer, oh yeah!
Ro-bot in disguise!
What things /don’t/? Anyway, I figure they’re just dropping in – can’t they be allowed to check up on their old friends the readers? 😛
Oh my god, a Cybertronian Artie! Okay, now I have to get off my ass and do that Beast Wars K-9 to Sweetheart kitbash I’ve been thinking of.
