I am looking into starting a YouTube Channel featuring my customs (and some digibashes) that would serve as both a way to showcase my work in more detail and teach customizers how to dye their figures. Does that sound like something you would be interested in viewing?

I’m all for a dying tutorial. (That sounds funny out loud)

Sky Lynx, Streetwise, Smolder, Hound, and Highjump. The team is on Ebay now

SOLD

Now on Ebay with Bombshell and Skrapnel...

I painted Offroad's face silver and Brake-necks face to look more like his G2 self. They are on Ebay with the rest of Menasor...

Smokescreen, Meanstreak, Medix, and Alpha Bravo on Ebay now...

SOLD

Nice . I'd be in for Medix and Alpha Bravo, I gave my Smokescreen black hands two , and Meanstreak is cool i think i'm going to copy him.
(Could not figure out what to do with that head and body. I was just playing with him like 5 minutes ago , and he's still right next to me ).
Wow is that price right?

Yes, the price is right. I guess I could sell them separately but I find that lots sell faster. If you look up the individual prices of Smokescreen and Alpha Bravo alone they are selling anywhere from 25 - 45 dollars each. People have been buying my stuff all week. You'd be surprised lol

Finished the dyeing, next comes the painting...

This is what happened to my Stockade custom...

Just an update. Enjoy!

I think Slamdance could work with this mold. Enjoy!

I took another crack at it today. The first one had way too much paint on it and one of the hinges snapped at the waist from being boiled in the dye; heat does that. I decided to leave the chest plate on both Slamdance and Raindance white for now, I have to let the plastic cool and then I'm going to dye it light gray. I dyed the head, torso, legs and biceps red and had to use a thin coat of red paint to even our the color. I decided to make the waist red instead of black to lighten the figure up a bit. All in all I think it came out ok.

Aside from removing the Decepticon symbol, Roadtrap is going to stay the way he is. While I would love to change him I don't want to ruin the figures combined mode.

Next up: Cog, Heavytread, Dogflight, Whisper, Breacher, and Shuffler. Until' next time...

A few of my favorites. Enjoy!

I know Raindance is supposed to be the blue one but I couldn't bring myself to call this bot Grand Slam...

This is Titans Return Scattor. He is based on the Armada mini-con; same color scheme, completely different mold and vehicle. I like the character because of his philosophy towards the Autobot-Decepticon War, which you will find here in his bio:

The leader of the Night Attack Mini-Con Team, Scattor is extremely confident in his team’s abilities in combat under any conditions, though when it comes to night operations, there’s not one iota of doubt in his mind. Though Scattor has resisted officially joining either side of the Autobot-Decepticon war, his record clearly shows a bent towards the Decepticon philosophy; over the centuries, Scattor has acquired warrants for war crimes across numerous systems. He's very good at his job.

I will be selling this with my Fortress Maximus...

I was originally thinking about making a TItans Return Longarm but couldn't find a faceplate that looks like Shockwave...

I traded in the lighter blue for a darker navy blue...

Cog look's nice man. Also i PMed you.

This will be my second attempt at dyeing the legs of this figure. The pins in the knees are impossible to remove without damaging the joint, so I used Elmers glue to mask the white sections below his knees before putting it in the dye. I let the glue dry for 24 hours and it held up perfectly in the boiling dye. I wanted to make him look more like the Wal-Mart Movie exclusive. I'm not done with him yet just a progress report. Until next time...

Dogfight will be sold with a custom Override based on the Combiner Wars Legends Groove Mold...

Looks nice. How much of him is painted? And i'm sure the groove custom couldn't be Override

All of the light blue on his legs and arms, and the red on his arms is dyed. The only painted parts on this figure will be the helmet, eyes, and the red detail on the wings and chest. The cockpit of the vehicle mode will be painted light blue also to resemble the G1 figure. And yes the legends class figure is Override, which will be all dye with the exception of the red paint on his helmet.

Working on the head and alt-mode tonight. Enjoy!

Have to pick up some more blue and purple dye tomorrow to even out the colors. I also have to finish painting the red on Dogfights wings. Until next time. Enjoy!
