Knight Industries Three Thousand (no longer WIP)

SPLIT LIP · 11-20-2008, 08:42 AM

Since I finally finished this to the best of my abilities I thought I'd post it here, in this new, sorta empty site. (but hopefully not empty for long)

And even though this pic isn't as good as the others, I can't help but love how the sensor bar "lit up' in the light.

Looks real good. Is it possible to get a better more overhead entire car shot?

SPLIT LIP · 11-20-2008, 10:11 AM

Sure!

Nice! What did you use for the voicebox in the center console?

Mine could use some interior work. On the outside, mine looks pretty much like yours, but that interior you did is pretty cool, man! Love it!

trebleshot · 11-20-2008, 01:04 PM

Nice job, mang!

Have you thought about doing the tricked-out version yet?

I used a TF Energon 'Spark of combination' thing, only I cut off the sides and sanded down the bottom. I wanted to take a blue sharpie to it before using the red and I might still, later.

I might do attack mode later, after Christams when I can get another one and I (hopefully) have more tools.

You are referring to the Energon stars that peg on most Energon figs, right? Or something else?

I don't want to copy everything you did with this, well... maybe I do! haha

You know those littl half-marbles from the BW TM2s? You know how they have clear, smaller versions on the Energon figs? (The Energon stars peg over, not the stars themselves) I used one from inferno.

Gonna have to look into that.

I won't be back home for a week, to do it, though.

Venksta · 11-20-2008, 04:56 PM

Excellent job with that.

synthalus · 11-20-2008, 05:44 PM

Wow awesome job

Cool, I'd love to see it, especially after seeing this one.

I'd have to fashion a brand new front end and spoiler (and find an intake or make one), and the back wheels would be extended out with and the rims "filled in". Also, I'd need to either remove the stripes or paint right over them with spray-paint, but it's very doable.

Optimus Scourge · 11-20-2008, 08:28 PM

Attack mode wouldn't really be too hard, but If you make it transform into the pickup truck mode, then, well, I give up.

I went to a TRU in Philly where I am spending a week, they had tons of those 1/18 Shelby Mustangs, like 4 different ones, but not the one that is the same as this.

The 1/18 by Joyride original KITT is really nice, hopefully we see an official one someday, until then, we customize

plowking · 11-21-2008, 11:29 AM

Wow.....I am loving this.....really nice job.

Nemesis Predaking · 11-22-2008, 04:37 PM

Very cool.

Superquad7 · 11-22-2008, 11:19 PM

You just blew the show and the cast out of the water with your work. :thumb

Da_Last_2_Walk · 12-04-2008, 08:05 AM

Can I see a shot of those Chrome Twankie Twins?
