Hello everyone,
I have had this finished for about a year now and had some spare time so I thought I would share it with you. I call him Voodoo Prime. He is a knock off from Big Lots that I hand painted. Hope you all like him.

The rest of the pictures can be found here.

interesting... looks very nicely done, original idea too.

he needs some more of those crazy colors in beast mode. someone named "Voodoo Prime" should have crazy voodoo colors in thier hair and stuff. beads and feathers and crap.

well, probably it would look better if that wasn't painted on, but sculpted or parts added.

Dude... I seriously get bad vibes off this one. Careful...
(And yes I am speaking absolutely sincere.)

Thanks for all the feedback everyone.

Stays pretty crazy around my place these days so it's taking me longer to get replies back.

Shade, He kind of creeps me out too. I have to keep my eye on him sometimes.....or is he keeping his eyes on me :shock:

RavageX-9, Those are great ideas you have to set him apart, I have been looking in the crafts department at beads and such. I will probably put your ideas to use on him soon. Thank you.

Darth Zax, Thanks for the compliment! I think he turned out pretty well. If I could do him over again I would try to spray paint him and probably primer him first or something, the plastic quality of him being a knockoff and such was very poor when it came to him actually holding onto the paint that I put on. It likes to flake off.

Again, thanks everyone

Yeah Darth Zax, It is supposed to be megatrons head on a stick! :lol:

That head was something I made while I was at work a year ago and I put the wires into it the same day I took the pictures. It was made out of some half-dried up patching plaster and a small phillips screwdriver to sculpt. I think it came out halfway decent myself. Hadn't ever tried to sculpt with anything before.

I would not recommend using the stuff for anything serious because it took it a good 5 months to dry solid enough for paint and it is still today mushy in the center. I thought it made for a pretty funny weapon though...
