what's your first custom?

[Buhawi]

i just want to see the custom that started it all. the one to blame for all this madness. :D

[Pascal]

My first and only custom was E. Hot Shot + E. Downshift painted black so it would cool combined. It was okay, but I ended up selling it.

[TTT]

As far as TF's go....

My first custom I made was Nemesis Tantrum

The one to blame for all the Madness is Plowking's Nemesis Predaking that I comissioned him to make.

The first custom I ever designed using photoshop and was brought to life was ALT B.A.T By Plowking

Hope that answers your question.:D

My first attempt at repaints..

[Buhawi]

what did you use to colour it? looks freakin' clean.

[Tech Spec]

very clean paint job indeed....

[plowking]

My first custom was Plowking v1....you all have seen it so I wont bore you with pics....

I wanted my first bash to be something different from all the rest...not putting down what anyone else does...it was the work of others like you all here that got me into it....

So, I went about and collected all the parts to make him, based off of my real Jeep I use to own, plow and all....although his original name wasn't Plowking....heck, I cant even remember what it was now....something stupid it was...but thanks to Lobo's suggestion, I renamed him Plowking, and the "legend" was born...:p

[Buhawi]

i love that dude. also the kab. so much detail.

[SamiWCP]

Back then I just used the cherry apple red TESTORs little 6oz model spray paint.

The hood piece fell onto the grass over night, as it was drying so you can still see some "scarring" on his chest..

My first custom was an odd one.

Before the idea of "owning more then one figure". I got a extra Beast Wars deluxe Cybershark from a friend for free. That catch? No head. So I took a broken G2 Prime I had and put his head on Cybershark's body and painted the face a bit with a marker. Ghetto, but it worked for the time. Sharkimus Prime. I believe this was 1997.

The first custom I bought was done by Joe Toscano, famed for molding of the Botcon exclusive Breakdown Action Master. He made an amazing Rodimus Prime Action Master that I quickly snapped up from him.

[Tech Spec]

tech spec you da best man! thanks for the karbon decal. :)

dopeness so you got it, good stuff man!

[Pascal]

I came very close of buying a custom transformable Hearts Of Steel Optimus Prime last year. I'm still kicking myself for missing the end of the auction, it was a killer kitbash.

[evil_ivotron]

All those customs rock....
This was my first and only......
Alt. Ratchet....

All you bashers keep the ideas coming....

[Bumblebee78]

My first custom is not as extensive as some of yours but it is one that I still like. I repainted BM Silverbolt to look more lire its animated version. I know you can still see some of the orange but the paint gets rubbed off when I transform it.

[chans formers]

I love that custom, plus your Classics Insecticons are killer too :cool:

[Jonnydark]

My first custom was going to be Masterpiece Megatron. I got pretty far into the prototype stage when suddenly they announced they were making one.

So then i took a tiny cheap camera and put it in the chest of a g1 soundwave knock off. I called him "lightwave"

[Nightshade83]

I submitted my first ever custom to the art contest at TFCon last saturday. His name's Grunge, an "evil" reincarnation of Movie Jazz.

I didn't have proper model paint, just an old paint set of my boyfriend's and it shows, so I tried to pass that off as being intenional in his bio :p. Anyway, I don't think I did that bad a job considering it was my first try.

I think this was my first...i started out easy...then i went ahead and painted my car the same way lol.

[Sigma Magnus]

My first custom, which I don't really have any pictures of yet, & I am stll working on, is an Animated Rodimus.

I used a Animated Cybertron Mode Optimus as a base. I will try chop off a few parts of the head, preferably the ears & maybe the chin to try to differ him from Prime, especially in terms of head design, & maybe weapons. One last point, I was able to combine C-Mode Prime's axe & shield into that giant axe, which I am trying to make a cannon or blaster to try & differ from Optimus again, & I have found a few ways to arm-mount it to the shield attachment area. Oh, & I will also try to get a decal of the Autobot Elite Guard on his chest, considering I painted over the Autobot insignias on his shield/future cannon & his shoulder.

Yes, from that you can tell that I am trying to differ Rodimus from Optimus.

So, I will try to progress along with my first project.
