Movie Accurate Ratchet

[sabsabby85]

Hello guys/gals. Just dropping by to showcase Ratchet! He's something that I've longed dreamt of doing as I felt that the Hasbro/Takara molds do not do him justice at all. Even the Metallic/Best buy Ratchet was not even anywhere near droolsome. He may seem kinda yellowish green in the pictures but in reality, it's a little bit more to the greenish side. He was meticulously detailed and even his butterfly axe had the red patterns repainted. Ratchet was shaded and drybrushed and had anti UV gloss smacked on to him. Well, that's that. Always wanted to re-do Ratchet. So happy that I've finally done it!! And among all my customs, I dare say that pictures do not do Ratchet any justice as he seriously looks twice as nice as he is resting on my work desk right now.

I've also included a special weapon of choice. A 2.4 inch diecast spanner that really works! Heheheh!!! :)

Very nice job! Looks detail! But more close up photos would be nice!

[sabsabby85]

Hmm..Okok. Might do that should I have some free time. Coz I was kinda rushing thru the whole photo taking thingy. Thanks for the suggestion.

[Spacemonkey]

Wow, even in a collector serie, Hasbro wouldn't do something well done like that. I like it.

[AnimeXHobby]

Very nice. A++ :)

So do you hand brush the blue detail or airbrush?

[sabsabby85]

Thanks guys! Glad you all liked it. Oh and AnimeXHobby, all details were painstakingly done using a very small brush :)

really cool paint job though!

[sabsabby85]

Oh yeap. Thanks for the pics. I believe he's holding a spanner (at least that's what we call it here) as I couldn't seem to find a mini sized ratchet or other tools around at that point in time.

Now all it needs is a blaster and working buzzsaw!;):p Very nice!
