glowing wfc ultra magnus v2

[chans formers]

the third and final revisit to this mold for a local commissioner.(this would be the seventh time i've modded/repainted this mold now)
the paint looks really basic,but that was kind of the intention....till the lights go out.
this is also my first stab at using glow in the dark paints.i don't want to revisit this kind of paint again for awhile now.
during this project, i was also reminded just how much longer it takes for enamels to dry compared to acrylics.
i also found it pretty hard and tedious to paint the glow in the dark portions as when you're applying it,it's like using invisable paint.
only once a layer has dried can you turn out the lights and see where you missed or if it's not even yet.
i tried my best to take some pics of the glow in the dark working,but again,i suck at pics and for some odd reason it's waaaaaay brighter in real life than my pics.(i did turn the flash off completely though)

[Stapler]

The glow effect in robot mode is jaw dropping. Great work as always, Chans. :)

[Nemesis Predaking]

That's pretty slick, bro. I got a couple of projects, that could use that treatment.
Now to got back & read the first post & not just look at the pics.
That way I won't look stupid for asking how you did it, if you already posted it. :highfive:

That's a very nice lookin' Ultra Magnus! Awesome idea for the glow effect well worth the work. So what's for version 3? Metallic pearl white? :)

[Nemesis Predaking]

MAKE SOMETHING GLOW IN THE DARK!

I can do that, but you might not like where it goes. :p

[Jeem]

Nice nice. I think It's a great idea.

We need more toys that glow

[Metroplex79]

Oh slag...one of my future projects was to make a custom glow in the dark figure.

Well, it looks like I have to get back to the old drawing board....or continue with my original plan...

Oh right, that Magnus looks nifty. You going to make glow in the dark armor for him too? :p

The Mold better as Ultra Magnus than Prime, great job!

[Gaetznes]

Just awesome man. I like the sleekness of it.

[purple-bot]

Nice work dude, the paint is amazing, white looks factory, was is airbrushed/spray painted? Great work on glowinthedark, he looks nemesisy in the dark

[jjwankenobi]

Judging by your title I was expecting something akin to G1 "Piss" Magnus. Thankfully your work is much, much more cooler than that.

Bravo!

[Tekkamanraiden]

Awesome.

How long did it take the enamel to dry and did you have to mix it with thinner?

[Echotransformer]

I can 'feel' the energon emissions!!!

Awesome, Chans!!!

Nice nice. I think It's a great idea.

i agree,we need more diversity:D

:rofl:thanks,hopefully you finish yours soon too!!

thanks again!!

thanks alex!
the paint was first spray bombed automotive matte white enamel x2 light coats as primer,then hand brushed "humbrol" flat white enamel again as the top coat.

Bravo!lolz,thanks mang!!

Awesome.thanks!!

How long did it take the enamel to dry and did you have to mix it with thinner?the base coat is spray bomb which dries to the touch within 5-10 min,but it actually takes almost 18 hours to fully harden.
the handbrushed humbrol white enamel actually took waaaaay longer as i had to do it while doing multiple light brush coats and going back and forth with the glow in the dark paint in the grooves,then trim again with the brushed white.
no thinners required.

Awesome, Chans!!!thanks!!

[CyberMnky]

Man, I can't believe how smooth and even that white paint is. I've got one bot thatI'm painting white and it's taking forever...

Looks awesome, and the glow effect is awesome. As for trying to tell if it's even or not - does it show under black light? it may not glow, but there may be enough of a reaction to possibly tell where you've painted - for future use obviously.

[chans formers]

^lolz,thanks d.
i haven't had a black light since my junior high days,but that's totally a feasable idea for future use:D
