Cartoon-accurate Skyfire (work in progress)

Postby huryochagi » Fri Jan 11, 2008 7:19 pm

Hi,

I just registered on Seibertron.com and this is my 1st message. I've been working on my cartoon-accurate Skyfire for many weeks now. It's not finished yet but I guess the results so far have progressed enough to give an impression of what the end result will look like. The figure is based on a Classics Jetfire. I bought Classics Jetfire for the sole purpose of converting it into Skyfire. I made every part that doesn't belong to Classics Jetfire with putty.

Initially, I wanted to show it when it's finished but I guess a preview won't hurt.

I made these photo's at night so the quality has room for improvement.

When it's finished, I'll publish the video on my YouTube-channel at http://www.youtube.com/huryochagi

Coming along nicely. Youve managed to give it a very boxy feel like the G1 cartoon designs had.

This looks cool! Skyfire has aleays been my favorite and I hated the fact thatr they never produced a toy based on the cartoon character. I have a G1 jetfire that I'm trying to customize into Skyfire. I also have drawings where I'm trying to figure out the design and challenges to a Skyfire plane to scale with... probably delux size, to drive the characters into it. I wanted to buy the classics because of the similarity, now I'd like to havce it just for this custom! Welcome to the site! I'm one of the Transtopia transplants (no pun intended) Lots of cool things to check out here and plenty of advice and help.

It was my first attempt at a kitbash/custom so I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it but what I do is sculpt a basic form. I let it dry, cut off the unnecessary pieces (too much putty, etc.), sand the correct parts to flatten them and add another layer of putty to it. I continue this process of cutting, sanding and adding layers until I get a satisfying result. In the meantime, when I'm working on a part that needs details/lines in it, I carve the details with a hobby knife in the putty before it's dried. If you're not satisfied with a part, you can always sand or cut it off, add new putty on top of it and resculpt that part.

I don't know if there are better ways, but this is how I did it.

Nope this is pretty much how everyone does it. :)
