Repaints & Minor Mods Fallen Heroes Kup

[Malwave]

hey gang, Mal here with my contribution to the Cybertron.ca Fallen Heroes Charity Fund: Kup.

For this custom, I used a Generations Sergeant Kup, the gun from ROTF Armorhide, a spare RtS Nightstick and a bit of styrene, as well as Testors Transparent Metallic Green and Tamiya Orange, Gold flake, Aluminum and Gun Metal.

I will admit this figure did take a bit to get off the ground, and I should thank Cliffjumper69 for not strangling me early on. (I owe you a beer good sir ). However I am pretty happy with the results.

Still, fingers crossed we do as well as we did last year boys! Enjoy the pics

Mal, dude, great work! The mods you made to the bumper really make him look beefier in both modes. The targetmaster is great too. Kup looks like a soldier in his prime now.

The theme for this set already reminded me of the Expendables movie, but those pics remind me so much of the scene when Sly tells Jet Li to man his gun in the truck bed because he's smaller!

Great, Mal! Now I can't stop listening to the Expendables theme!

lookin good kid!!!

if i may,make sure you paint his head the same green so it doesn't stick out as much.right now it seems kinda off in the different stock shade.
also,if you give him a black wash,it'll help make even more details "pop",especially the b/d and the lighter colors in bot mode.(pm me if needed)
don't touch the t/m though,that lil' bot is perfect as is!!

also............i see shockwave goodness in progress

that is the idea dude. I couldn't really paint it yet as I'm waiting for racerguy's cygars. All I'll do is just take some shots of the head once its done; these were to show off the finished body

also yes, that there be Shockwave. And yes, you can hold the gun mode.

I try good sir, I try.

and since it's the Wreckers, I don't doubt it will. Just wonder if we should secure some Wreckers emblems for the figures versus straight Autobot symbols O_o

looking good mal,

Love the battle damage and Target Master.

One suggestion, an additional weapon to include could be Outback's arm, like in the IDW comic
