Generations Slipstream

Update!

Remember the Seekers posting? Remember I told you that there were more Seekers later that came into the Decepticon history?

Well this is one of them...

Made from Generations Windblade, this lady Seeker was given a new paint job. The color scheme sort of followed loosely on a bunch of fan arts and concept designs for the character.

Slipstream.

A Decepticon fembot to be feared!

Till next time! Cheerios!

Decepticon Seekers (TF Prime version)

Update!

It took me 3 months to realise that I haven't updated my blog. Sigh.

And it took me also 3 months to realise that I have not shared or posted a work for a friend which has been done ages ago. Sigh again.

Okay...so let's get cracking...

The project that I'm sharing today is the most famous Decepticon team in the Transformers history. No matter what reality or storyline, they will be around and has always been a group that is feared...

The Decepticon Seekers.

Now the original Seekers team had 3 main members, Starscream (Commander), Skywarp and Thundercracker. Along the years, there has been additions and not to mention untold Seekers...

So this rendition of the Seekers team was thought off by my client. He wanted a more menacing team, and he saw that the Transformer's Primes series Dreadwing had a strong omnious design...so the task to repaint and restructure the head came to play...

I present the Decepticon Seekers (TF:Prime ver.)

Starscream.

Skywarp.

Thundercracker.

Well, I enjoyed painting these guys aside from masking hell...but they turned out okay...

So till my next update!

KFC Citizen Stack (Ultra Magnus) War Torn Edition

Update! (Another belated one...heh)

Here's another 3rd party Transformers figure from KFC Toys (it's not the finger lickin' good kind alright...) which I happened to worked on before for another friend of mine.

Unlike the first one that I did, this was the first edition version. So there were some drawbacks especially the joints. They were a bit loose and had some minor flaws in it.

Then I fixed it. Hah!

Based on the request by the owner, he wanted a more wear and tear kind of look. Something not so clean yet still retains most of his dashing good looks...bwahahahaha...

Well, here's the guy...which I aptly named...

I have to admit that I extremely had fun doing this. There were some new techniques that I tried out and it came out beautifully. So there's one more level up skill that I acquired. Yay!

Till next time! Beedo Beedo Beedo...

War For Cybertron Optimus Prime Custom Repaints (Metal and Shattered Glass Ver.)

Update!

Okay...another set of customs I did for a friend.

The War For Cybertron toyline was a pretty good series. Namely the big bot himself, Optimus Prime. Sadly he came in deluxe sized which in my opinion was a waste.

Okay, so a friend came to me and asked to commission metallic versions of the big ol' bot. Now, as a customiser who rarely does metallic finishes, this was kinda like a challenge. (Furthermore I have a few other commissions that requires me to do metallic finishes...heh.)

So...after some trials and bottles of paints...I finally found the particular ones I like the most. So here it is...

 Okay...more to come soon!

Cheers everyone!

3rd Party KFC Citizen Stack Custom Repaint (Ultra Magnus)

Update!

It's been awhile. So let's just skip the pleasantries and get to it!

So I received a 3rd party Transformers from a friend to repaint. It's from KFC Toys (not the finger lickin' good company okay...), called Citizen Stack or more apt, Ultra Magnus. Now the plastic and design is pretty good...decent you might say. But I do have some complaints on the head tho. Luckily my friend manage to grab another headsculpt from another company which is far better than the original.

Now the name of course was pretty interesting, I didn't understood it initially but then I remembered the voice actor for Ultra Magnus in the 1986 Transformers Movie. So I guess it makes sense now...heh.

Okay, so what did I do? First of all did some test run on the colors. I didn't like the dark blue of the original and opt for a lighter blue like the cartoon version but slightly darker like the IDW comic version. Highlighted some details and got rid of all that icky blings.

So here it is.

KFC Citizen Stack (not Ultra Magnus)

So there you have it folks! Stay tuned for more custom works from RK Designs Studio.

Yeah...I'm back.

Hasbro Generations Hauler

Update!

Yeah...I'm suppose to post some other works, but I felt like sharing this guy first...heh...

A long time ago, I managed to get hold of a Generations Inferno. I loved the mold and the design...Years later, I lost interest and planned to repaint the guy into something else...

Grapple? It's been done...

So I asked some ideas from friends in the Transformers collectors group. One of them suggested Hauler. I quickly looked it up. And yes, there is such a character and furthermore...he was in one of the first episodes of the classic G1 cartoon series!

With new vigour, and feeling good about being back to customising...Hauler was in the works...

After a few weeks of working on him (had to schedule my time with commissioned works as well)...here he is...

Generations Hauler

Vehicle mode:

Yeah...and that concludes our story for today. Heh. Stay tune for my next posting!
