Custom Emirate Xaaron Toy
Posted: Tue Jul 24, 2012 8:45 am
Hi Folks!
I'm new to these pages and also to customising in general. I've started a project to make a TF classics/deluxe sized toy of Emirate Xaaron using odds and ends from my collection.
So far the piece is constructed (as you can see from the photos hopefully), the next stage is for me to completely recolour the toy using pro-standard modeling paints. I'm going to go for Gold, yellow, silver and some blue (for the eyes). I'll be using the UK comics as inspiration for the final colour scheme.
Xaaron is the 1 character from the TF G1 universe, who I feel deserves a decent toy, so I've had a bash at a young Emirate Xaaron, in his pomp, as a Cybertronian Warrier. So, this version transforms from a 7" robot to a Cybertronian tank.
Really, I'm just looking for feedback here, from the people who know TF's better than anybody. Have I got it right, or do I need to go back to the drawing board?
Take a look and let me know what you think.
Cheers,
