Custom Protoform Starscream and Optimus Prime!

Postby Jin Saotome » Thu Aug 16, 2007 10:55 pm

These guys were sitting on my desk painted all black since I did that review for Mike Crawford. They were suppose to be my first TF movie repaints but everyone wanted the actual movie figures repainted, I kept pushing them back. Now that I've finished the main line (Yes yes, Leader Prime is coming eventually) I can work on my fun projects like these two, Swinwave, and of course the nearly-completed Transformers painting guide!


First, Protoform Prime. Can you say 'eight different metallics'?

Protoform Starscream. Only six different metallics, but still just as detailed.

I know these may not be cannon to however they're colored in the comics or the glimpse of proto-Prime you may of seen in the movie but sometimes I need to get creative with my colors and techniques. The blue-to-green chest on Prime has be grinning from ear to ear because it worked. As did the transition from one metal to the next shade.

Holy. Cow. Dude, that is awesome.
Life can be pretty sweet when your alt-mode is a B-2 Stealth Bomber.

And for those of you who are wondering... I'M A GIRL!

That Prime is awsome. Excellent work.

For some reason, that Starscream makes me think of Hot Rod.

Excellent work on making two crappy looking figures pure AWESOMNESS!!!

I still think Hasbro should at least give you a job, because your paint work is 100% amazing!
