Thank you very much dude, I am honored. I still look forward to seing your work as well. I was thinking of trying to use enamel paint for my next custom for the experience. Don't knock it till ya try it, right?

you can edit the title in your first post of the thread.

Yeah, the molten cracks ... you set out for the look, didn't say anything to us. Everyone noticed. Priceless.

Those guns are beyond awesome, I think i'm getting an erection ...

someone believes! yeah, I would recommend it, it would work nice for the areas you did some blending, like the molten fire areas i was talking about. enamels = longer drying time = more window to blend.

On my final battle Megatron, I did a similar molten effect, on the wings, to emulate 'fresh' damage, that was still charring and burning up the metal.

Go back to the first post and click the edit button in the top right corner.

Type the correct spelling and then submit.

Now, as a reward for my services, build me a Fallen because that is F*cking Amazing!

Also, since everyone loves to give certain TF's nicknames, I now dub thee "The Brawlen"

I think I asked already, but is there some forum or someway I can see your work? I really want to check it out. My next big project will be a crown and posable cape for Walmart MP Starscream. I want to try enamel for the cape because it will be made of screen wire mesh sandwiched between two sheets of thin styrene. My hope is that with good primer and enamel paint, I will be able to shape and pose the cape without flaking and cracking. That's all theory based on what I have read on enamels and I still need a good color for the cape. I'm thinking between a Napoleonic violet and light purple. Please advise.

This is what it's all about! Great job! The only way he could be better is if he had some more flames showing in both modes. (Human Torches perhaps?)

LOL, you rock. I thought I tried that once and it just created a second post, but I'll try again. Thanks.

Crykies, it worked! Thanks, man. Check's in the mail

Seriously though, without all the extra goodies (the guns and flames), how much do you think a Fallen repaint with the new head would cost?

Holy fo shizzle! I didn't realize at first that was a LEADER Brawl!!!!

And I absolutely love the plane/spaceship mode.

Wow that's a good idea, and an amazing execution!!!

I am honored by your compliment. Actually, I was thinking of doing that. I already invested a boat load of doe in this, though.

Let see, I used a Leader Brawl, Parts from a GI Joe Figure, Deluxe Bonecrusher, BM Megatron, A 20th aniv TRU exclusive, BW OP Prime, Styrene, Fixit sculpt, 2 different types of Human torch, lot's of various paints, and I swear I paid 11 bucks and a 6 dollar TRU coupon for an Anime Spawn just because I really wanted the Fallen to have a chain gun. I'm a nut

Thats awesome. Wish mine came out like that lol

Actually, maybe not so bad I bought a casting kit that I haven't used yet, but I may be able to cast the head and if I can do that, well it's just the figure, and paints.

Look'n good, bro. I can't wait.

Dude he had never done any customizing until the class at BotCon. I can't believe it! You have come so far in less than 6 months I remember how excited you were to show me your Grimlock repaint after the class

So does this mean that I get to take credit for this too Or do I get my very own custom bash of a Jeep *hint hint*

I love it. The flames are nice touches too.
But, the head, I'm not so hot about, it seems to not-movie ish, but I doubt I'd do anything half this good. Rock on!

that is freakin badass!!!! i love it! that ship mode is one of the most creative 3rd forms i've seen in a while! absolutely AMAZING work!!!!! (i need some new adjectives for this forum, i feel like i repeat myself a lot! )

WOW! Totally awesome... I mean, wow. I love the sold black with the glowing inner sections! Great idea, now I wanna make a Fallen fig from the head of my Titanium Fallen that broke.

Titanium Fallen's head may be a bit tiny for Leader Brawl's body.

Movie Wreckage may work better for that.

I had actually considered casting titanium fallen's head and putting it on deluxe brawl to be like a classics fallen. I'm not so sure I would restrict this fallen to just "movie. It's just kinda "The Fallen". He's not biased, he'll kill anybody.

JIN, I am very honored by your feedback. I feel I learned alot from your tutorials and I am just so greatful that, even though you're art is worth a bunch of money, you never have been one to hoard your knowledge. Thanks for everything.

No, I didn't post it. It's just a straight repaint, no kitbashing other than switching the head. I'll put up a pic when i get my camera working, but i think it'll pale in comparison

It's not about competition, it's about sharing art. However, if you would like to improve yours, maybe I can help. I've learned to love The Fallen. Keep in mind also that I have been planning, brainstorming, and struggling with this thing all the way from that other forum with my Brawl till now. I just finished this. It's taken me quite awhile. You see I'm not that good, I'm just persistent Jin kicks stuff like this and better out once a week.
