Transformers Animated Voyager Optimus Prime

Update!

Okay, it's been a while so get ready for a butt load of updates. Let's start off with this fine figure from the latest Transformers incarnation, Transformers Animated. To be honest, I'm 'okay' with the series, but as a true die-hard fan of the 80's..something is missing, but all in all a great effort and try looking at the plot and storyline...interesting.

Anyhoo, I managed to get my mits on this figure roughly two weeks ago. I saw it at a shop and loved it at first sight. Grabbed it and I was like a small kid again when I got home. The articulation is pretty good and the figure itself is amazing. After a while I wanted to make him look more than meets the eye (hah! i was waiting to put that in...*snigger*) and started to think of simple upgrades but just enough to make him look better.

And here we have him. Note that the upgrades are the Autobot emblem on his shoulder, thighs has been colored silver along with the bumper and axe. His gun I painted it to black cause I think thats what a gun should be colored.

Well, it's nothing much but I just wanted to share this with you all. Maybe you can try it on your own TFA Voyager Optimus Prime.

Cheerios~

Masterpiece Thundercracker

UPDATE!

Ooookay, well not a new update though. Done this fella quite a while back but only manage to get the photos two days ago. Heh, sort of forgot where I stashed it.

Anyhoo, here you'll see a Masterpiece Starscream (Hasbro) repaint to another Decepticon Seeker, Thundercracker. Just your normal paintjob and no mods were done.

"The deadliest weapon is terror."



Thats all for now.

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.

TFTM Megatron - Revamped ver.2.0

UPDATE!

Hey there lads and lasses...I'm back with another update, it's another TFTM Leader Class Megatron. Yep. Another one. Talk about mass producing this fellas. I'm doing so many Megatrons that I actually know what can be taken apart and so on. LOL. Anyhoo, being bored of the traditional way of doing it, I looked for other ways to make it. Meaning adding more details, extra covering and also some other types of techniques. Thankfully it worked well and my friend (the same person who took the pictures...since I accidently deleted mine...heh) was really happy with it.

And for me, a happy customer makes me a happy customiser...

TFTM Megatron - Revamped 2.0










There you go. Another update will be coming soon. Doing some renovations at the moment so, hope you all will be patient ya.

Cheers!

First Star Wars Repaint!

UPDATE!

Okay, it's been almost a month since my last update. A lot of work juggling lately and not to mention having my room renovated so i'm kinda roomless at the moment. Anyhoo, you can see here just as the title says, my very first Star Wars vehicle repaint. What I was given was Anakin Skywalker's Jedi Starfighter. If you look at it carefully you'll realise that it has the look of its so called later generation TIE Fighters.

When my friend brought it to me, I was wondering what I can do to improve the whole look of the fighter. The only thing that popped into me was pre-shading. By applying this technique, I manage to get that wear and tear look from it.





Battle Mode:




Hope to get to do more Star Wars stuff !

Gundam Works: Zollidia, Exia and Astray Red Frame

UPDATE!

Hey hey..guess what? I manage to get some pics of my previous Gundam works. Thanks to my good ol' buddy Fahmi (letting me take images of his precious took a lot of courage...heh). Anyhoo, I have taken the liberty to post 3 of the whole lot of Gundam kits that I've done using my trusty airbrush...

Okay, first up is the no-grade scale 1/100 Zollidia from the V-Gundam series. I've had this guy for quite some time and among all my collections, he's practically the only 'bad mech' from the Gundam world in my possession. I painted him before a while back by hand painting and it wasn't such a nice job. So when I got my airbrush, this guy got his paint stripped and done up properly.

Before:


After:




Next up is the no-grade 1/100 Gundam Astray Red Frame. This particular fella is the 3rd one that I've done in my lifetime. Yep...you heard it right. The 3rd time. And none of it was mine. LOL. Well, with this guy I used pre-shading. An airbrushing technique that I've been practicing on. It turned out okay. If you can see the seamlines, well, its not that I didn't want to cover it...it was the insistance of my friend/customer. So forgive me. No worries though, I've slowly started to work on my 1/100 Blue Frame...heh...my own kit...so it will be better. Trust me.





The third fella is the no-grade 1/100 Gundam Exia from the Gundam 00 series. This is the latest kit from the new Gundam series and all I can say is that Bandai's Gunpla technology has improved so much. The kit now sports superb joints nearly as close to the Master Grade kits. The amount of details put into the kit is amazing! I was having a whale of a time building it, but like the Red Frame, the seamline covering was omitted. (It's because of the fee that I charge...heh...) But like I said, no worries...my own Exia will be making its way in this blog of mine.






Alrite peeps, that's the update for now. Next update we'll be going back to Transformers. Maybe a good healthy dosage of Gundam kits, Armored Core kits would do a lot of good for the blog don't you think so?

Until next time!

Cheeeeerios!
