I kid, I kid! Very nice indeed. You're getting better and better with each custom, and you were pretty freakin' good to start with. The sky's the limit for you. Loving it.:)

What Mbot said lol. Glad you.can find the time to do these. All my customs have been put on the backburner for a long time. I'll get around to it again one day lol.

Very nice custom job there. Wish they continued with this line.

Once my setup was competed , a space in the garage :) , my work flow is pretty fast .....for this figure , just a repaint ....around a day....
15min - disassembly and preparation ....
5min -base coat .....when to work ...
5min 1st coat .....after work
5min 2nd coat ...after dinner...
1hr final detail and clear coat ...bed
Or just wait 30 min between coats on the weekend so total time working on him around 1hr30 'min

what they all said, and that's a very quick workflow, you must have a very steady hand.
I'm in the process of gradually setting up a work space in our garage also. any tips, at the moment I'm trying to figure out how to get power down there apart from a single light bulb circuit. unfortunately I live in a block of flats so can't exactly just hire an electrician to put in another line...

Very nice! Spray paint? with a bit of hand paint? What kind and brand of .. do you use for paint btw? also for the clear coat is that a prepared one being sold?

Everytime I see these marvellous repaints fellow members here come out with I just wanna do my veeeery long off put project of an AM Skywarp... but I just have this failure to launch heheheh:p:(

:(

I use an airbrush now... i can't recommend that enough! the even layer that it give it so good! ..love the air compressor very usefully but it noisy as hell....And it need an open space or you going to need a spraybooth that suck the air out!! cause fine paint particle everywhere! And have to have a mask as well....first time i did it airbrushing blue... after i blow my nose it was all blue!! :eek: man your just breathing in all that paint...next day when out and buy a proper gas mask!!:D

i use FASKOLOR brand of paint.... it water based so clean very easily and thin out in water :)...they mainly use it for remote control car so it very tough paint when dryed...

the fine detail it done by hand....
The best clear coat that i used so far it from a sparycan clear matt acrylic ... dry in like 15min and tough as hell making the figure almost water proof

[liegeprime]

thanks for the info!! :D

[Kazza]

Yeah man, you should get into doing commission work.

[rampagesss]

Nice! love all the little details in the pannel lines! Sunstorm is the only Seeker Revoltech i never had the time to make.
Can't wait to see what you do next

Hi, lancalot. Just one little question, what kind of water filter/regulater are you using for airbrush? couldn't find a proper one.:mad:
I really agree with you, the air compressor's noise which i'm using is terrible.:(
