DalaGStanator's Customs, Mods and Experiments

Alfie was painted and detailed yesterday, and the face cast has been finished today. I remembered the Mega Bloks Toby face being taller and thinner than TrackMaster's, but didn't know it would be the perfect size for the cast. Unlike the red used for Jack, the green had to be applied in several coats due to some of it coming off and leaving yellowish stains on him. The only thing carried over from the previous version besides the arm were the digits (cut and turned into stickers, with the biggest being copied for the back). After that, the whole shroud was torn off the telehandler and the original arm released from the glue. It occured to me the body is too thin because the arm is too close to the cab (the piece between them should be the same width as the other side), but it does help the arm stay up a bit better. Given he's taller than V1, he has to be stored with both pieces separated. Still have to find how to make him more balanced and not wobbly and leaning to one side, in a way that would not hinder the rotating base. Might help if I remove the small piece near the back and insert a heavy weight behind it.
