Update: KO TFC Madblender "Restoration"

Took me 2 days for this restoration... Shorter than expected... In short, all below waist, less feet and crotch, are V1's, and the rest V2's, except the mixer drum... V2 has elbow joints and the shoulder joints are much durable-design compared to V1's... First, the V2's crotch piece is transplanted to the swiveling waist of V1... V1 legs will be transplanted later...


V2 will need to cut off the waist piece...


... and every operation to make the waist-swiveling action...


V1 cabin legs are better detailed than V2's except no feet... so V2's feet are transplanted over...


For the mixer drum base, it is modified to have a double joint in the middle, so as to allow proper folding in robot mode...


Yeap, working well!!! ... of course after numerous trial and error, and re-alignments...


Testing the base in vehicle mode... works!!!


Done! Vehicle mode... The 2 black pieces (robot feet) on top of the cabin are not very aligned / flushed as 1 of the peg used to house the feet is glued a bit slanted... but not very noticeable, so still ok... The front frame of the mixer drum remains simplified as I was too lazy and tired for the swivel peg mod...



When in robot mode, the mixer drum can be pulled out and firmly secured onto a peg-hole at the back... but not nice...


The original way of positioning the mixer drum is still better... it is held by friction but quite ok...



Robot pose!!! Sorry for the bad picture, not good with posing figurines...


... and the most important to me, the gestalt leg mode.... Nice, got ankle tilt now, hahahahaha.... 5 down, and 1 more to go.... but still need to paint the purple parts to metallic purple for uniformity...
