Custom Premium Barricade

Barricade is one of my favorite characters, this repaint isn't that spectacular but there are some interesting new features added to make him a more accurate look.

fixes:

-The chest plates (hood of the car) have more movement possibilities so they can give a more round and organic appearance to barricade's body. It also gives the impression that the hood opened for the head to pop out
-Extra custom frontal Chest plate that covers the openings in Barricade's chest and holds the sides of the chest in place.

-Extra shiney finish to make car look more like a car ;)

-Custom headjoint, allowing 180 headspin and up an down movement.
(I created a new headpiece from scratch )

color palette

black, white, marine blue, sliver, light grey, dark grey,

high gloss finish
(I tried to take some pics from this in the car mode... too bad I don't have an original barricade lying around to do a comparison. so I don't really know if you can see it ok)

neck and chest explanation

I've been very busy the last month, but finally I got around to answering these neck/chest-question with the help of some visual aids. It might be interesting to some of you.

the back of his head is custom, and so is the neck joint.

the neck joint makes the head go to the front and back. and the headjoint allows left to right movement.
The neckjoint is that interesting to look at because it isn't visible in any mode so I didn't take the time to polish it too much

I measured everything so it does not interfere with the transformation.

(A) I've cut away some plastic so that thing in the front folds more to the back and connects with the chest plate. Its not a big mod but visually it does more than I expected.

to fold the chest like this you need to release the screws a bit.
when you do this Frenzy will not fit in there anymore so cut away some plastic so there is a little slot that gives the screw a little room to make the chest plates fold.

The chest piece fits inside the car so everything stays together.
I hate it if there are pieces that you have lying around, I end up losing them.
