Hi Guys,
Here are a few Custom repaints I have recently completed.

Human Alliance Sideswipe: repainted most of the metallic details, added rear shock springs, and made custom wrist blades.

Mixmaster:re-painted to better match the film version.

Voyager Megatron:re-painted and weathered like he was in the movie, and I also added tank tread "toes".
Image

And Deluxe Sideswipe: A full re-paint and some custom work was done to him.
Features added arm blades(removable), modded feet,magnetic front "ankle flaps", swappable front fender wrist armor, high gloss tinted black windows, and simulated rear shock springs.
His vehicle mode was also given a "new car shine".

Awesome work I love what you did with Sideswipe and Mixmaster. Do you have a pic of Mixmaster in Vehicle mode? What did you use to create the removable blades?

Awesome! I wanted to try doing that fender wrist swap thing with my Sideswipe. Any tips on how to do it?
Instead I just transform his feet turning them the opposite way, so the smaller piece is at the front XD

Got any other figures to show?

For Mixmaster..no pic in vehicle mode...was too lazy to transform him and snap some...lol

as for the blades for Sideswipe, I just used sheet styrene....

Just cut them off of the feet, and sand smooth. they can be attached to the forearms, and to the front of the car using magnets...

as for doing more...well i have a few that i am working on now...but I don't have the time to do as many as I would like. I do these mostly for fun...a getaway from my regular job....lol
I am working on a HA Bumblebee for myself, i am just trying to figure out how to add headlights...as i have seen some with the light addition and he looks so cool!

Both of the Sideswipes look awesome. Do you prefer the HA sideswipe head or the deluxe version for screen accuracy? Also, the place where Megatron's hand spike comes out lokes weird, fleshy.

Gah! I want that deluxe sideswipe! Well those blades at least. I wish I could mold my own stuff.

True, only if the TRU 3pack repaint Megatron was like this.

I was hoping for a repaint when I first read about the 3-pack. I was holding off on buying Voyager Megatron because I thought it would have gotten a repaint by now.

Your work SUCKS! Worst repaints EVER!



Nah, you know I'm kidding bro. You need to post the old bash/repaints you've done so others stop saying that it's theirs. Especially the Dinobot Combiner and ALT Bumblebee, I've seen both on here with people claiming they did them. Li-aaaaaaaars!

True, that's what I was doing. If Hasbro made HA SS or Megatron like this, it would've been gold.
