"We're locked and loaded."-Arcee & the sisters

[cheko]

Friends,

I've joined this forum for a while back and have been inspiring by other great customizers in here. But I've just posted my work now :)
So, thanks in advance for inspiring and helping me thus far, too.

Here is my custom of Arcee and the sisters. They are consist of custom Arcee, Chromia and Elita-1/Flare-Up(?)

Arcee:
- Fully repainted with dark magenta metallic with the silver pinkish accent on her racing stripe.
- Blackwashing, drybrushing, panel lining, highlight, detailing
- Cybertronian glyphs at her fenders
- Ducati insignia
- Modification on her arm-gun to make it more accurate with the movie/CGI.
- Dual lighted up headlights just like Ducati 848.

Chromia:
- Minor modification on her robot mode: Detailing, blackwashing, panel lining, drybrushing.
- Added LED at her head lights, as shown on Suzuki B-King that the headlights are separated by thin vertical separator.

Elita-1/Flare-Up:
Especially for custom Elita-1, I used ROTF: Arcee as a base mode. But I custom and mod it again at the robot mode and the alt mode.

- Drybrushing, blackwashing, detailing, panel lining, highlighting.
- Modification at the waist and torse, so that now she can be posed forward facing.
- Fully repainted with custom purple color, added the silver purplish racing stripe.
- Cybertronian Glyphs on her fenders plus tiny symbol of MV Agusta F4 and tiny Italian flag.
- Modification on her front wheel, in order to make her more movie/CGI accurate.
- Center lighted up headlight. MV Agusta F4 has headlights at the center, whereas Ducati 848 has dual headlights at the left and right side.
I modification the existing dual headlights, apply them with epoxy and sanding these sections down to make them smoothly.

This is the transformation process of each of them:

Wiked do they combine

[cheko]

@stevie:
Thanks for your comment and stopping by.
I'm thinking to make them combine at the first time, but recently I decided not to combine them, yet. At least at this moment. It's because I built custom Elita-1/Flare-Up using Arcee as a base model, not Chromia. So, if I combine them, I think it will be asymmetrical compares to the CGI.

Ok just wondering. another question does the wheel on elita-1 that you moved to the arm still spin or is it just there

[cheko]

@stevie:
Oh ok, the front wheel still spins.

Very nice!

[zartanman]

WOW. Those are some nice LED Skills you got. Where did you stick the batteries?

[cheko]

@Matticus Prime:
Thanks so much. :)

@zartanman:
Each robot has different place for the batteries.
The batteries for Elita-1 are placed under her mask of the motorcycle. For Chromia, the batteries are placed on her body. As for Arcee, placed under her body covers.

@frenzy_rumble:
Thanks for dropping by and thanks also for your encouraging comment.

[speedleescustoms]

Looks really good, the leds are just wicked ! :D

[Hotwire]

Very nice work. It's good to finally see these three together.

[cheko]

@speedleescustoms: Thank you :) Your works are also really great! :)

@Hotwire: Thanks for your kind words. Yes, you're right. I'm glad also to see them altogether, eventually. Because honestly, they are one of my dream project. I hope I've managed to make these three sisters nicely.

Thanks again.

Yes, for custom Elita-1, I mod her to make her different with Arcee although I built her based on Arcee. I cover her existing dual headlights which are coming from Arcee sand it down smoothly and applied the Cybertronian glyphs to make her more looks like Elita-1. And then added the LEDs, as needed.
