Optimus Prime & Elita-1 "Wedding Cake Topper"

This was a very special commission. The client is getting married in September and honored me with the commission of creating a "cake topper" for his wedding cake. He requested Prime and Elita-1, in a traditional pose. Neither transform (anymore) Both figures are 'fused' into these poses (minus the heads which can still move)

Prime was created using a Universe Prime (convoy) with a sculpted hat and bow tie. His left hand (which goes around Elita-1's waist) was modified to look as though he's holding her.

Elita-1 was created using a Fembot limited run figure which I picked up on ebay a few years ago. The figure was absolute poop as it was. very flimsy joints, limbs constantly falling off, etc. I made some mods to the figure, added the elita-1 style horns and color scheme. Also added a veil using some fabric.

Both figures are 'fused' together and the 6" base using epoxy and metal rods.

My wife wouldn't have encouraged it. Looks cool. Wish my wife was more into my hobbies.

Yes, I must agree.

I hate to say this, but... normally when you hear of such things, you have to wonder how cheesy it'll look, or grimace at the thought because it sounds like it's gonna be silly.

But I have to say, Frenzy, you took an otherwise hokey idea and actually made it legit. On top of that, you made it classy and dare I say...beautiful.

Kudos to you sir, an incredible job, and I hope the people who commissioned it truly appreciate what kind of talent you put into this work. It wasn't just sweat, paints, and glues here and there, but heart. And it comes through loud and clear.

:APPLAUSE:

It looks awesome.

The client wouldn't happen to be associated with this website by any chance would he?

My wife is the exactly the same, she literally hates TF's. If I had chosen that as our cake topper she would have killed me, slowly and painfully!

Should have seen our jaws (my fiance's and mine) hit the floor when we saw this! If we were having a cake for our reception we would totally go for that! She <3s TFs just about as much as I do! defintely like the idea of a Megatron and Slipstream topper! Decepticake!!!!

Very impressed with the line work beneath the colours. Did you do a dark undercoat, use ink or pen in the details?
