How do you wear those down?I'm waiting on symbols to arrive from Toyhax, and might put logos on, wear them down, and put the on top of the mess.
I have an Impactor in the works, too . But I stopped the work on him after February. I need to get back finishing him. He's almost done (except of his Mini-Con partner ).[...], which I had an extra of after Spinister and Impactor were finished.
Can't wait to see Fisitron in alt modeAlt-mode pics for him, Wipe-Out, and Ironfist coming soon!
You got a link?P.S. If you guys want to take the Fallen discussion to the Resource or Inspiration threads, I'd gladly throw in some ideas. I know a bunch of headsculpts that could work for the job but don't want to go too off-topic.
Sandpaper, scratching. The idea is that he replaced the logos in-universe, like a more competent Armada Wheeljack.Lunatic Prime wrote:How do you wear those down?

Yea, I've been on vacation for five weeks starting at the beginning of March and afterwards there was so much else to do and then I started to work on my PotP Optimal Optimus which you might have seen some pics of. But I definitely want to finish my Impactor before the SIEGE one releases. I ordered the 3-pack with Mirage and Aragon on Amazon.com and then the release got delayed to mid of October but just today Amazon.de (where I ordered it, too ) confirmed the release date of September 1st. But let's see if that's not gonna be delayed, too.Latebrus-K wrote:Lunatic Prime wrote:I have an Impactor in the works, too . But I stopped the work on him after February.

February? That's when I finished mine!
You are very welcomeLunatic Prime wrote:You got a link?
It's in the same forum as this topic, but here you go! https://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/the-kitbash-repaint-resource-thread-t178s125.php and thanks for the Nominus recommendations btw! I took a break from painting at the time but obviously I'm back with a vengeance now.

But why haven't you uploaded pictures of yours yet

You first
I'm not sure if I've seen Primal yet. You didn't happen to submit it to the Awesome Pictures & Poses thread, did you?
As for Impactor I'm just trying to spread out content, although I don't have much to do today so I can probably take a few more photos. I'll edit this post in a few minutes to attach them

Just scroll down the page. There are about three posts of him and lalety I worked on the Prime Masters to let there sparks look like the real Primes. For most of them I chose the Cevenant of Primes style.
Here an example but for Megatronus I went after the classic design I posted in here earlier:

I really wish I had a better camera

Crazy and excellently made. The depth you've brought to the figure is really something else! Could Megatronus always glow under black lights like that or did you add something?

I painted his insignia with a mixture of yellow and orange fluorescent colors. But I'm thinking removing the paint because I painted it directly on the old one. With out black light it looks pretty realistic but I'm thinking about painting the insignia white first and then add the colors ontop.
I will open my own customs thread soon (maybe when I've finished the unspoken one, IMPACTOR ) and post images of all of my Prime Masters. They all glow under UV-light. Just unfortunately I don't have Nexus, Amalgamous and Onyx as I didn't liked the PotP exclusives.
Btw I used some other effect paints, too: I painted his shins, belt buckle, "stars" on his shoulder joints, the circular arranged square plates on his shoulders where the wings and some other small details with color changing paints and his legs and forearms and the limbs of the small bot, Optimus Primal, with an earth texture paint, black lava-asphalt, to resemble fur. I got inspired for the fur by the Reprolables set for him and checked where the original version of this character had its fur details.
Yes, that's the one. I watched a video on YouTube in which the reviewer said that it would destroy your brushes. I first used toothpicks to don't "destroy my brushes". When I realized that this stuff isn't that harmful I used a worn down brush of mine and after cleaning it it was like before. So maybe don't use your finest and best brushes but it doesn't destroy anything.Latebrus-K wrote:Lunatic Prime wrote:Thank you very much

Thank YOU for the info and for sharing. I did a quick search for black lava asphalt paint, and came up with a Vallejo brand. Is that what you used? Guessing it didn't hurt your brushes (assuming that's how you applied it).
I look forward to seeing your custom thread
Also, started a new detailing project. It's a big one...

Regarding that Deathsaurus... Do you have plans to change the feet? What about plans for the launchers/sword hilts?
ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:Damn, that turned out stunning!
I only need the one hilt for my RiD Galvatron as it happens. And one foot, but oh well.
Latebrus-K wrote:Sorry if I wasn't clear, if I have anything it's just the hilts. Deathsaurus started as a megatron, though, so I guess the foot would need some TLC anyway.
That doesn't look like Blitzwing at all . From the promo pic I get more of BW Scorponok vibe.Latebrus-K wrote:Well-played Lunatic Prime, that is Construct-Bots Blitzwing’s head. It was co-tooled with a big smirk for Ironhide.
Looks pretty nice. I started with the GM22 Gundam Marker but now I use Vallejo Gunmetal Grey and Steel. Steel is actually a great color. It's almost black and metallic and works as a base for my chameleon colorsThe paint is DecoArt Zinc, a cheap acryllic with some sparkle worked in.
