TFA Starscream (Generation One) and TFTM Proto Prime (ver2.0)

Update!

Been busy guys. Sorry.

Anyhoo, just wanted to explain that some of my updates usually depend on my customers as well. What I'd do is after my client has taken their commissioned works then only I post updates on my blog.

Why?

Simple. I want to see the expression on my clients first. I know, it sounds ri-donkey-lous but thats the way it is. If I posted it first then there's no 'WOW' factor for them. Correct?

Well, I've got here are two works that I did for a friend.

First is Transformers Animted Starscream. Overall a good figure but we needed to give him the Generation One treatment. So here it is.

Next up is TFTM Protoform Optimus Prime ver 2.0.
(Did one of this awhile back, this has some improvements)





Cheers!

Kotobukiya Dyenguar with AUBenseiter

Update!

Well actually this isn't an update of my latest work, its one work that I totally forgot that I did. LOL.

While I'm working on a few projects right now (trying to finish them before I go for my holidays) I stumbled upon this particular work that I did in early 2008. It was commissioned to me by a friend and heck knows how I totally forgot about it. How I stumbled onto it? I googled myself (yeah, think what you want people...).

So here it is, Kotobukiya's Dyenguar with AUBenseiter from the Super Robot War series. I purposely did a matte finish on AUBenseiter (the horse) to complement Dyenguar (rider).

Enough said...here it is...a blast from the past...the year is 2008...

Now wasn't that a blast? Pictures are credited to my good pal Arya. His shots are amazing!

6 Inch Ironman 2 Mark VI repaint

Update!

I've got piles of work that needs to be finished before I go for my holidays. Talk about a busy month. Thankfully I've got really understanding customers, so..thanks a bunch guys..

Recently I managed to get my hands on some 6 inch Ironman 2 figures. When the toys came out in the 3 inch series I was totally not interested. Didn't even plan to get any...until I found out they came out in 6 inches...

So with my lovely wife getting me a War Machine, I had to have the Mark 6. The details and mold itself was fantastic. But as usual, I didn't really like the colors. I know the Mark 6 is an upgrade, but the color scheme seemed incomplete (to me that is).



I preferred the Mark III scheme, so after playing with the figure for awhile...I got him into the studio to be repainted. Following the Mark III scheme and used a different kind of red. First I started with the priming, making sure I got all of the areas then later applied a silver as the base coat. Then applied gloss red to bring up the beautiful shine and later applied metallic red, then did some heavy masking and applied the gold. Added some panel linings and touched up some gold areas via hand brushing. Once done, I applied two layers of gloss coat for the finishing...

And yes. I was happy after that. When put next to War Machine, they are matched. Heh...

Peace out!

Alternator Magnus

Update!

Here we have an Alternator...which I think is one of the most kick-ass robot series in the Transformers line. Why? The detailing and transformation is wicked. Not to mention the real car modes. Sadly this line has stopped and I wished it didn't since they have so many other bots which they didn't roll out. But Takara has continued with the Alternity line, but it isn't as good coz they're smaller in size.

Anyhoo, what I've done here is using an Alternator Optimus Prime (Ginrai for the Takara Binaltech line) and repainted it to Magnus. As you can see I'm calling him Magnus cause I believe that with the armour, then he'll be known as Ultra Magnus. Without it, he's just Magnus. Don't you think?

Okay, here's the Magnus.








That's all folks!

TFTM Protoform Optimus Prime (G1 Tribute)

Update!

I've had this figure for some time and thought that I'd give it a different look. So I gave it a traditional G1 feel to it.
