Transformers Transformation!
I am turning a barricade mustang Transformors xmod into a mustang. This is my first xmod so just experimenting some. I'll post some pictures in a bit, but it is dark now in Kansas. I just did the first coat of silver paint and it turned out great!
 I am happy with it and will add the black later. I'll post pics later!!! I am going to add some black stripes down the middle of it. It won't be very exciting so if you looking for an super duper suped up one look elsewhere! I'm just going to be upgrading bearings and such. None of my before pics because I'm too lazy, bt I will post radioshacks pictures. Any suggestions will be nice!Last edited by italy.1677; 07-18-2008 at 01:18 AM..

Yep that is what I'm gonna do. I still need to take pics, but my sister sleeps 'til about noon. Then I have to download so it take 20 minutes to do once she is up. This is my first xmod/paintjob on a model anything.
Does anyone know what to use to cover the holes in the roof where the lights go? If you this model and want to KEEP it a cop car DO NOT take the lights of the roof of the car because the first time I did the screw hole thingy broke off! Advice is appreciated this is my first build so I'll need some. I want to add bearings but not sure if I should go with metal sealed bearings or ceramic bearings? Any suggestions on what to upgrade are good too! Just so you know I got it for 15 bucks! And I think the person who hacked your forum is a mini-z fan. Probably programmers just search youtube for xmod vs mini-z! View either one they both say he hates xmods!Last edited by italy.1677; 07-08-2008 at 12:29 PM.. Reason: Tonot add another post because I forgot some details.

Use some epoxy putty to cover the holes. Look for it at your local hobby store.
sounds good. I would say ceramic bearings if you can find them cheap. Just go with sealed. Look at my thread for the super duper one you pointed out. hope it turns out.

What part of Kansas are you from? I'm in Dodge.
Sounds like a cool project.

Look at your local hooby store not hobby lobby joan and micheals. you will never find it there. Hobby town usa, is one that is like everywhere. Look for Squadron and Tamiya. Bondo is way to heavy and messy to use these cars.
