The light blue just did not look right to me so a little search on the web and I found green versions of the HH-53
here is my take on the Green Giant thing.
Custom mix colors with an airbrush, paint brush and pastels (Colored Chalk).
Custom Arm mounted Guns which are removable and reverseable
give it that seeker look.
let me know what you think

nice repaint. nicely done. where did you get that base for the alt mode by the way?

by **jezones** » Sun Nov 25, 2007 6:43 am

great job, looks a lot better than the blueish gray everybody else does, did you keep him named blackout or did you change his name. i really like the color makes me think of the old jolly green giants of the vietnam war era. GOOD JOB!!!

Super nice work. When I first saw the title I was thinking, "aaaagh", but you totaly pulled it off. Great eye!

That is so awesome, Cluster...wish I had thought of that when I repainted my Blackout. The base just adds to the realism. I can picture a platoon of Army Rangers or Navy SEALs fast roping out the side doors while the heavy guns are blasting away at the enemy.

That's really awesome! I especially like the cannons you added to the arms

Love the colour scheme and the arm guns - should look good with Jungle Bonecrusher

by **Viagra Prime** » Sun Nov 25, 2007 3:58 pm

Sweet paintjob, particularly in heli mode.

Awesome man. How'd you pull off the one picture where it looks like he's taking off?

by **Sonray** » Sun Nov 25, 2007 5:18 pm

Simply fantastic! You have just owned everyone who did a custom repaint of this mold in the past!

by **Klusterprime** » Sun Nov 25, 2007 8:46 pm

olokin asked where did you get that base for the alt mode by the way?

The base is from a custom made resin casting used for military aircraft neato Huh :grin:

jezones said did you keep him named blackout or did you change his name. i really like the color makes me think of the old jolly green giants of the vietnam war era. GOOD JOB!!!

Sure he is still blackout just a better color choice I did see jolly green giants on my search, might do one of those paints next more camo looking. :-?

Sherade added this ?

And no bold for you :lol:

Asepticon had this to say Super nice work. When I first saw the title I was thinking, "aaaagh", but you totaly pulled it off. Great eye!

The Minds Eye can be a powerful tool :shock:

Viagra Prime likes it Sweet paintjob, particularly in heli mode.

I really did not see how well this mold was done until the shading went on and wow alt mode is very real, plastic model worthy (almost

)

Thunderscream looks amazed Awesome man. How'd you pull off the one picture where it looks like he's taking off?

It's Magic :twisted:

Sonray just being nice Simply fantastic! You have just owned everyone who did a custom repaint of this mold in the past!

Glad you are pleased and hope to do better next time ;)^

The robot mode really doesn't do anything for me, but the alt mode is awesome!

by **schizophrenica** » Mon Nov 26, 2007 7:20 pm

Awesome job there.. Can you post a close up of the head?

by **Saberspark model H.** » Mon Nov 26, 2007 7:37 pm

where did you get the arm cannons from did it come with it or did you find him because I bought blackout and there were no arm cannons.

by **toxicity** » Tue Nov 27, 2007 2:27 am

The choppers imply looks great, although the red on the mouth portion kinda reminds me of lipstick

No blackout figure comes with those cannons. He has bought them seperatly of off a different toy and glued them on.

Both are resin castings I made.
one is from battle ravage, the other is a scratch built gattling gun.
