TrueGritt Customs- Optimus Prime Movie Repaint

Postby DavAnthony » Wed Aug 29, 2007 7:18 pm

Been coming here on and off over the last few years but with my recent infatuation with the movie toys and seeing some really nice work being done by quite a few people I decided to try my hand at repaiting a movie Prime.

Let me preface this by saying I wasn't thrilled with the look of the robots in the Transformers movie. Then I saw it and I thought they were okay, not great but okay. Still hard as hell to know what your looking at some times. Then I saw the movie again and altough I still wasn't crazy with the designs I began to accept them as not a replacement to the versions I like but instead a different direction. I was down the shore last week and saw the redo of the Robo-vision prime (Legacy, Voyager whatever they are calling it) and decided to pick it up. The more I looked at it the more I liked it but I wanted to make it's deco more movie accurate. I also loved the amount of odds and ends this figure has in it's sculpt. A little paint does quite a bit.

Using stills from the movie really show very little since the designs are still pretty confusing and hard to focus in on one point. So instead of fighting that I decided to apply it to the way I painted the figure to give it a very movie realistic look. I took a few pictures in darker lighting to kind of showcase the look that existed in the movie as well. I also added some realism to the truck mode and also added yellow to the front of the truck to resemble how it looked in the movie as well.

I like it, great detailing going on, but, honestly, movie repaints are beginning to bore me. Not to say they aren't good, just, mainstream.

Thank you everyone I'm glad you like the repaint. I'm thinking about doing his sword and an accurate gun to go with him, but need to get some accurate photos of both of those. I'm really enjoying all of these movie customs by people so far but I wanted to do something a little bit different and more movie-realistic.
