PSP's repaints/customs projects
 

So I do some repainting (and a bit of g1 restoring), usually G1 homages from new figures. I'll start this thread with what I just started last night...TFTM 'Nectar' (wip, just started):

Like those Minicon Dinos! Do you have a pic of TFTM Tracks in 'bot mode?

Re: PSP's repaints/customs projects
 

oooooooooo TRACKS!!!!!!!! I love it!


What's the story behind the Green BB?

Re: PSP's repaints/customs projects
 

TFTM "Nectar" or if Hasbro did it "Tap Out"

Bumblebee/Cliffjumper molds

Yellow = Bumlbebee
Red = Cliffjumper
Blue = Glyph (Botcon Exclusive)
Green = Tap Out (Botcon Exclusive)
Light Green = Carrera (South America release)
White = Bugbite (E-Hobby/Botcon Exclusive)
Orange = Volks (South America release)
Gold = Goldbug
Black = Black Bumble / Black Cliff (Japan Keychain)

It's funny how that is now. Gives Hasbro/Takara endless characters with just one mold, same is applied with Prime and any jet.

here's bot mode after the first working on his insides. It still needs a lot of touch ups all over the place but I'm liking him so far.

I use testors with a very small soft brush and more blob tiny blobs of paint on and move it around then 'brush' in the dragging back and forth sense. This way does seem to keep the look smooth, sometimes though there are signs of 'depth' in the paint, of the overlapping of these blobs I spread.

You did that w/a brush ?
Geez I'd never have known, SMOOOTH !

Great job !.....:)

Re: PSP's repaints/customs projects
 

can we see Tracks in robot Mode?

Re: PSP's repaints/customs projects
 

Sure, I can't find my original pics of tracks other than the 1 i already had on photobucket, give me a day or two and I'll take some new ones (as well as of my finished classics Dirge)

As for the green bb story, I mainly wanted to repaint 08BB but a different colour than I had done before and not a G1 repaint like I usually do. In time (and with more 08BBs coming in future waves) I'd like to do a 5 colour army (bb, cj, and 3 repaints)
