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!

Dual Model Kit (DMK) Commander Magnus - HTCC Entry

Update!

Here's something that I did a couple of months ago that is way overdue for a posting. Reason? I needed a better camera than the one I was using. Not that the current one wasn't good, but I needed a DSLR that could capture every intricate part of this work of mine.

Okay, so what do I have here, it's a Dual Model Kit Optimus Prime. DMK01 to be more precise. Now the DMK line is produced by TakaraTomy in an effort to get modellers into the Transformers movie hype. They produced 2 characters, DMK01 Optimus and DMK02 Bumblebee.

Now I manage to purchase one (birthday gift from my wife!) but haven't had the time to actually sit down and build it. Until I joined a competition held by Hasbro Malaysia, the Hasbro Transformers Custom Competition. I joined just for the fun of it and we needed to send in some of our previous works, and somehow I was listed as the 10 finalist. Yeehaw!

Being one of the 10 finalist I was able to choose between a DMK01 or 02, so I chose 01. Why? Coz it was Optimus Prime! Nuff said.

We were given the kits by Hasbro, and in roughly two months we were to come up with whatever design that we could think of by using the kit. As I scratched my head, I looked into comics, re-watched my G1 cartoons to find an inspiration...until I realised one thing...

Everybody is bound to be doing Optimus Prime. Heh. And that ladies and gentlemen sparked the idea of making my entry into...Magnus.

After observing the trademarks for Ultra Magnus, which were the head, color and shoulder missile launchers. Scrounged into my spare parts box and found the right parts to make into the launchers and by using some more parts I made the visors for his eyes. Now Magnus head was different and I shaving off Optimus's horns, I slapped on something of my own idea.

Mixed the right tone of blue and some white, I prepared to paint him according to the G1 version. It took me roughly a month in building this guy. His original weapons was suppose to be twin gatling guns on both arms, but then at the last minute I decided to change it and smacked together a bunch of stuff to make his big ass rifle. And...he was done! With some time to spare, I slapped some custom decals I bought for my model car kits. Thinking that if Optimus preferred flames, Magnus was more to the commercial kinda guy...or bot. Heh.

I've prepared a 'work in progress' shots of the building of Magnus which can be viewed at RK Design Studios Facebook page at:

And there you go folks. After months, I've finally gotten good shots of this guy. So till then...

Sayonara!

Fully Poseable Star Saber (WIP) Part 01

Update!

Well, it ain't exactly a major update. It's just something that I felt I needed to post since I haven't posted anything new for quite a while. So I think I owe who follows my work something right? There were a few projects that I worked on these past few months but accidentally deleted the pics and now am requesting from the owners. So be patient and I'll post them up.

For now here's a pet project that I've been working on the sidelines. It's been a one year project (inclusive of losing my job, getting a new job, adjusting to a new life and doing commission works all day long..LOL) and finally I decided to do a non-transformable version. It took me so long to figure out the transforming parts (I'll do that when I've enough cash to burn...heh...).

So what were the parts that was given to this project? A 1/100 Buster Gundam and a knock off robot master Star Saber. Surprisingly the knock off bot was made twice the size of the original figure so it fit the 1/100 gundam kit nicely. Heh...even the Buster Gundam was a knock off, so it was a match made in heaven don't you all think so?

Here it is at only 50% complete. Its on going so I'll put up the updates along the way.

Stay tune for more!

Oodelaly peeps!

Note: This is a Work In Progress (WIP) post. So the final work might not be the same as it was originally designed by RK Designs.
