Alternator Red Alert

Update!

Here's another project that I've dreamed of working for myself for quite sometime. Ever wondered where I got the Prowl head for my BT kitbash? And guess where the Smokescreen head went...LOL! This was another knock off figure I managed to get, and luckily this one wasn't as bad as the k.o. Smokescreen. Actually it was pretty good.

Alternator Red Alert.
I did some mods to the head, sawed off the front chin guard, then the horns. Smoothed it down and attached two small intakes to the side heads to emulate Red Alerts antennas. Printed out some decals and presto, a Generation One tribute to ol' Red Alert (Takara did come out with a Binaltech Alert fig, but I kinda hated it...)

Pretty nice eh? I'm planning to make another Red Alert using another mold...but I'm not sure.

Binaltech Prowl (RK Version)

Update!

Another from our studios. This project has been on my table for the last one year. Yes. That long. But you all must forgive me, these are knock off Transformers. Here's the story.

Binaltech Prowl.
Originally it was a knock off Smokescreen. Managed to get hold of it about more than a year ago. I was planning to kitbash this guy to Prowl. Since I have always believed that Prowl has to have his front hood like his generation one rendition. Imagine that...it took me a year...LOL...

Apologies for the non image of his vehicle mode. Why? Since it's a knock off, the vehicle mode doesn't lock properly and it looks kinda...bad. But this is just a try and wanting to get it out of my system...Will be working on a new one soon (when I get myself a proper Alternator body...can you spell ORIGINAL?)

Stay tune for the next update!

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.

TFA Starscream Generation One Colors

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!
