Description Full shot of Classics Galvatron was created from an Energon Galvatron for the most part. I used tracks from a generic toy set I picked up at Wal Mart and made the cannon barrel from a giant writing pen I found at Rite Aid. The cannon connector was made from Bionicle and Microman parts. Everything else was just removing pieces from the original toy, carving stuff off, and a full repainting. He has quite a few different layers/shades of paint on him too.

That's where the tracks snap on. I did an updated version where the tracks fold back on those too,

A pen for the cannon, great idea!

Can I do a fan art for these designs?

I like Testors Acryl Model Master/Fantasy series and the Games Workshop brand. Check out my guides [link] they explain the whole painting process.

Dang you did a good job with what you said you used. I love the idea that you used a part of a pen for the cannon barrel. I'd never have thought of that. Nice job with this one.

Looks great! Amazing to see how much the sculpt looks better with a better paintjob (amongst other things) looks better then the cartoon model!
