finally finished this commish for an uber patient client.
(it was started just after tfcon2015, but I had to take a 2 week break from bashing to get other areas of my life in order)
I can now honestly say....I never want to do this mold again lolz...
the sheer amount of molded in details I tried bringing out is quite excessive.
his tail is also made from the same rubberized plastic that's notorious for staying tacky no matter what paint.
there's also more rub points than I would have liked(a lot of detail sanding was involved)and coupled with the fact that the plastic quality itself is so cheap,alot of areas where I would have normally knocked out pins were painted as a whole for fear of shattering the plastic during pin removal.
hopefully the commissioner likes the end result....
the new matrix sword is cobbled together from the butchered weapon thing that came with thundertron and some bits.
the ancient primal shield is bashed from a dotm ark playset cockpit and some smaller bits including the claw from the above mentioned weapon thing.
all repacked back up and ready to fly to his new owners shelf.....
