Mixmaster

[spencer1984]

Finally adding a proper Decepticon to my 1/24 Transformers collection. The cab and chassis are Italeri's Volvo F12 kit, converted to a dual drive and given a small facelift. The mixer is from the AMT Kenworth/Challenge kit, with the parts rearranged to better fit the Volvo chassis. Lots of scratchbuilding and kitbashing to get everything to fit together, then painted Design Master Olive Bright and Tamiya TS-24 Purple to recreate the iconic Constructicon colors. A full writeup of the build is available here, and as always any comments/criticisms are welcome!

...and for anyone not familiar with the source material, here it is with the character that inspired it:

Cool idea! Looks great!

Highly modified!   I like the result and it has some comical look to it.  Like a mini Matchbox collection except it is much larger and has all the details!
