ROTF G1 Optimus Prime

[Sabrina_Ng]

It's been very long since I took a break from ebay to finish up commissions and settle down in my work and etc. I had been practicing with new techniques and perfecting existing ones. Officially introducing Starburst Metallics.

This breakthrough technique allows me to achieve a higher colour saturation as compared to conventional techniques. Trust me when I say that the custom looks way better in real life than what the pictures can say. Deeper and more virbant hues regardless of the colour that I am using.

For this version of G1 Prime, I literally dropped his whole silver stripe concept and decided on giving him an updated look. I wanted Prime to look more majestic thus the gold chrome on the front of his truck. He was airbrushed, detailed, shaded, dry brushed, chromed and protected by a special anti UV component. Well, enough said, hope you enjoy the pictures!

Aren't you baking and buffing to get your Starburst metallic effect? Looks nice. Next time for you pictures pull the figure more towards you and away from the background. This will help get you an all black background that looks way more professional.

Yes! Probably have to boil my figure for more advanced techniques. OOh..thanks for the tip tony. Will try that for Grimlock tomorrow morning.

Thats very nice. How did you do the smokestacks?

Smokestacks? Well, I got some chrome/steel straws and cut them up nice. Easy peasy!

Purely Epic! I love EVERYTHING, but to me the gold front end stick out as a bit odd. Don't get me wrong, the figure looks like a huge piece of diecast and not junky plastic! A++++++++++++++++++++++++++

What sort of places do you find them? I cant seem to find anything small enough.

just use a radio antennae...they are $3 and you can do about 4 primes from each antennae

[wylungz]
