WOOFT! Awesome custom paint jobs my friend but for those prices plus shipping to Malayasia? I would expect them to be gold plated on arrival with bows of the finest fabrics tied around their packaging.


Awesome painting skills mind you.

The Megatron just looks to good to not have light up eyes

Thanks Guys !!

Well, I use mainly expensive paints for repaint works and TRUST me, for one Megatron, there is at least 7 to 9 layers of paints on him. At every layer, I polish it to create the gloss effect I want ( view Ironhide ) and for Bumblebee, I managed to order paints of the similar Actual Camaro Concept from united States.

Lots of effort and hard work...Wish I could lower down the price...but unfortunately...

Thanks for comments...hope you guys like it and will do more serious and out standing custom for fans like you guys !!!

THANKS !!!

and remember the artist doing the works is an award winner in local action figure competition..
so like you see in samples, its worth it..

love your works...

update you on my order next week. thanks.

Thanks for the Info but the price is outrageous plus shipping to malaysia........Ill just do it myself.

Its always the pricing....no matter where we go...everyone wanted to have something affordable and nice...ME TOO!!!

Unfortunately, the time we spent and the effort we put in is worth it...in order to share with you another link where a seller is selling higher than is and ermm.. ( see for yourself ...the quality ...erm...) This link:

http://stores.ebay.com/Custom-Heroes-Zone

you will enjoy it !!!!

HEHHEEH Anyhow...we are working on how to make the price lower, but that will effect the workmanship. Very hard to decide...either cheap but not nice or Damn Nice but expensive....LIFE is never FAIR....Damn!!!

Thanks !!!!

Well, you could cut costs by not using so many layers. It is somewhat unnecessary. Actually, 2 coats and some clearcoat is more than enough.

Dude,

BASIC COLOR TECHNIQUE FOR GLOSS EFFECT :

1) There is no way you can get super clear gloss if you jut put in 2 layers of paints and some gloss.

2) In order to repaint and have it super smooth ( LIKE REAL CARS ) You nee dto go over and over a few layers. ( Ask car painters )

3) 2 coating means thicker paints...you will have problems with that later on...

4) The thinner you paint at every layer, the better the results...

5) ITS WRITTEN NEAR PERFECT !!!!

Anyhow, PLEASE TEACH ME HOW TO REDUCE MY TECHNIQUE...I REALLY DONT KNOW HOW TO CUT SHORT MY WORK !!!

Thanks

truly amazing work, but sadly, out of my price range

Im sensing sarcasm. Im fully aware that thicker coating covers detail. And while it looks cool that they look like real cars, so do hot wheels. And they cost 90 cents.

Dude,

No hatred here !!!

But you got to understand, HOTWHEELS is MASS PRODUCTION and you want to compare a 90cents car with my custom repaint Jazz? C'mon...

Even Jazz without painting looks better than hotwheels...

You got to understand the concept...you are like saying to Picasso " Paint a potrait for me and can it be cheaper ? "

Although i am not Picasso, but eventually my work sells like hot cake...sorry to dissapoint you.

Anyway...please enjoy what I post up ok? Its for everyone !!!!

Regards !!!

By the way...are you going to paint one for me to have a look like you said? Just Kidding !!!

We are trying to work it out on the pricing and unfortunately hard to do so as we spent lots of time and care while repainting the figure. Infact, the paints we ordered are real car paints from USA and its expensive...

Well, probably...this custom of mine is meant for nitch market...promise will work something out....

Thanks

You are right, the mass production cuts costs very much and you are hand painting. Dont get me wrong. I model paint as well, and you're work looks fantastic. I love the airbrushing and im sure it takes some time, which is the reason I think for the cost.

I wish you success. Hopefully you find a way to cut costs and boost business.

And I am going to paint up some figures.

I customize and I really love your work more than my own, but the price, although worth it is too much for me unless I have a B-day comming, Christmas or something like that. If you can cut cost without cutting quality, I'd do it, but don't change your style for anyone. I do really think you should contuinue instaling LED EYES. I know you had them in your exclusives, but if you paint them differtently than the exclusives, then it should be OK. You really do GREAT WORK.

GUYS!!!

I will try to do my BEST to reduce the price...probably to cater other markets collectors...and you guys are great !!!!

Um hate to break it to you but It is DVD and HD DVD only. There is no bluray disc. Transformers dont like sony or the PS3
