Custom DOTM Fire Convoy

Transformers Custom DOTM Fire Convoy

Concept is thought of by a friend...then he passed me the Sentinel Prime and the Jetwing Prime head.

He just wanted to have the Jetwing Prime head replacing the Sentinel, but as i was modifying the head, i figured that after painting, the head and the body would look different in color...proceeded to paint the whole bot instead...only the bot, didnt repaint on the vehicle mode.

Repaint as usual is done with enamels, and Mr Color chrome silver...and the figure was given several washes..and here it is...

Awaiting in the shadows of the moon, ready to spring an attack on the decepticons who has conquered Cybertron and Earth...more wisdom than Optimus Prime, more powerful than Ultimate Prme, more agile than Powered Up Prime, more stealth than Jetwing Prime....ARISE DOTM FIRE CONVOY....now, light our darkest hour!!!

The fiercest incarnation of Optimus Prime, DOTM Fire Convoyshows no mercy...also the darkest of all Primes, a lisght shift will see hi, forgo his autobot ethics to convert to Shattered Glass!

Custom Classics Acidstorm Repaint

This is a repaint of classics Acid Storm.

Base coated with enamels, black wash and further detailed with enamel.

"Corroded" parts are painted with glow-in-the-dark acrylic paint.

Put the figure under light for awhile to charge up the paint and the fella will glow in darkness.

Final coated with matt clear coat spray.

Once again, this is inspired by FrenzyRumble's Masterpiece Acidstorm.

Custom Classics Mid-warp Skywarp

Seen the piece by FrenzyRumble, and thought that i'd do one up myself.

Got a piece of the clear seeker jet from the net, and proceeded for the repaint.

Base coated with Tamiya Enamel, then given a black wash with acrylics and further detailed with enamels.

Lastly coated with Tamiya flat coat spray.

Had lotsa fun painting this, and the idea of this is just great...kudos to FR.

 Quality of the figure itself was far from good...Loose joints and bad molding...

there were "dents"(plastic shrinkage) everywhere. the obvious places are the chest area and the knees. You can clear see the dents on the chest above the "wheels". 

 Still on the quality, the left arm actually broke at the elbow after a few manupilation during painting.

Had to get an extra arm from another seeker...fortunately, it's th epainted elbow, otherwise would have to waste a clear elbow.



Custom Transformers Reveal The Shield Jazz with LED eyes

My first try at customizing electronics into Transformers.

Here we have a Reveal The Shield Jazz.

Vehicle mode. Just like any other RTS Jazz....

Bot mode. Yes, still the same old RTS Jazz....
But look carefully, you'll see a switch on Jazz's waist on his left....move the switch and...

the eyes light up!!

Dealing with electronics is really not easy...had alot of trial and errors and spoilt switches, LEDs, wires....spent alot of time, solders & even required the help of a friend who solders very well...At the end of it all, the satisfaction level is GREAT!

Transformers Animated Botcon 2011 Customization Class Minerva Prototype

Transformers Animated Botcon 2011 Customization Class Minerva Prototype

Botcon 2011 has suceeded in getting me forking out the money for TFA again!

I quit Animated stuffs for awhile but for some reason, The Botcon TFA stuffs have suceeeded again and again...first it was the Botcon Set: The Stunti-Con-Job...and now:

The Customization Class figure: Minerva.

The only difference is that the figure is acquired is the prototype. It never reached Botcon, therefore it does not have antennas, papers nor spec card. Only came with the unsealed Botcon polybag. The botcon piece came with antennas that was made by DJW. There are none from Hasbro as this mold was used for Arcee. For about 30+ pairs of antennas was just not worth it to make another mold, so they got someone else to do it.

For the prototypes, there are probably not more than 10 pieces in the world and I have one!

Definitely not a K.O...i have played with enough official toys and K.O to judge.

The best thing about this piece of prototype is that it is considered unused. This figure was meant for the customization class, which means that all taken out of the class would be painted.

My first Botcon Customization Class figure. And its definitely worth it, especially when the price I paid for it is super reasonable!
