Combiner Wars Motormaster Paint Overhaul

Postby Nemesis Maximo » Sat Apr 18, 2015 10:54 pm

Motto: "Always Be’s-ing and do’s-ing, never cheesing or choosing!"
Weapon: Gatling Cannon
So, I really like the Motormaster figure we just got for Combiner Wars. the only thing is, he has this really boring color, like grey mud. I get that his robot mode is more grey than his truck mode, but the base was there for the vehicle mode to be distinct.

And so I set out to correct the colors which should've been better to begin with, but whatever; I had fun!

So yeah, I wanted his truck mode to look like something other than clay.

I painted the grill and smokestacks steel instead of silver, because I felt that would sell more of a "tough guy" vibe.

I also redid the purple stripes with a grape pearl gloss. I thought it sounded like a color custom car enthusiasts would dig.

image.jpg
As much as I wanted (still want) to finish the widows that Hasbro abandoned, (a) I love the color and don't know if I can replicat it and (b) I'm holding out for Reprolabels to come out with a set for him. Lazy, I know, but I love their stuff.

image.jpg
So Robot mode is largely the same, except I mixed a more appealing grey that looked better with all the black.

image.jpg
It's hard to see because of their small size, but I painted his eyes yellow.

"But Nemesis Maximo, don't you hate the color yellow?"

Yes, I do, but I wanted it to be a bright enough color that one could see. Their just...so small. But anyway, I also gave him facial hair in honour of his TF Animated counterpart. Now, some people don't like the way Motormaster's face is, but I really love it; it's kinda unique in it's features. He's got this Mongolian, Ghengis Khan thing going, which totally fits his big, tough, asshole attitude.

image.jpg
Again, torso mode ends up mostly the same.

image.jpg
I Painted the panels around his face to look like part of the helmet, like the side guards on something Greek or Roman. I think it makes his face look less fat.

image.jpg
And now, the cream of the corn for this whole custom; the reason I decided to repaint him in the first place; I wanted to bring out some of the awesome sculpted details on Menasor's chest. Not much more to tell about it besides what is sees, but I just love to look at it.


And there you have it! A solid figure made better by color. I wanted to upload these a lot earlier this month, but I've been having internet issues lately. (i.e. I went over my wi-fi plan and have been using my cell phone for everything.). But I hope you enjoy it!
Back at it again!

Very nice. I'd also like to spruce up the vehicle mode when I can find time. This is great inspiration.

Very well done!

Menasor's chest looks awesome. Also, it now looks a bit more like AoE Galvatron's chest, which is funny. (Of course y'all read somewhere Menasor's chest could be a homage to AoE Galvatron)
