so, this is my first custom since my mom died almost 3 years ago. As some of you may remember, i used to be big into customizing figures.

here is a little teaser. All i have to finish is the detail work, and finish the head.

This one will be up on e-bay as soon as he's done. I need to re-build my customizing arsenal.

I"m sure you all know who this is..... Right??

So after some looking, this is suppose to be "Black Tracks", the redeco of G1 Tracks released in 2002 that was a 300-piece limited toy that you could get for entering in a contest that came with "Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: The Comics" graphic novel..?

Oh.. so this is Diaclone Black Corvette Stingray... With Tracks's Flames...

The black tracks from 2002 came with tracks' sticker sheet, as did the original european diaclone, but only with no autobot symbol.

Yes, this is my version of a classics "Black" Tracks.

The stickers are the RTS Tracks set by Reprolabels, but with special coloring changes

Something easy, and still significant to get me back into the custom game. i've been out of it a while, so this is just a re-paint, but i'm already working on another that has a bit of re-sculpting work, and once i get another Wheeljack, i'll be working on a Marlboor version, since i still have my old Marlboor head molds.

slick paint apps!!!!
i realize the bot you were going for,but i do get more of a stepper/ricochet vibe from him.

it also kinda works out that the black of the decals are kind of off from the paint,giving him almost a carbon fiber look to him too:cool:

i got a 2nd jazz to do stepper, but then Takara is comimg out with a henkei version, so i ordered that. I may do my 2nd jazz up as a g2 jazz just for shits and giggles.

I had a few ideas years ago, before my mom got sick that never happened. sadly i don't even have the bots anymore to use (ko full size liokaiser) but i'm sure i will find something to make.

bars have been risen since i last made my classics Liokaiser. I have some catching up to do i think.
