Nemesis Skylynx - or the golden bird WIP

Hi,

This one is dedicated to Roller... Its a little different from the Nem Skylynx you refer to in episode 3 as I made it a little more mechanic. Hope you like it. I think it does stand out next to the original. I did make him a decepticon as it is appropriate on the darker persona.

Still have another coat of paint to put on but here is the WIP.

Added Minicon holder as I always thought Skylynx should have someway of carrying a load.

Thats all. Dont have a spare lynx so will have to live with just the bird.

A few areas to note that were completely custom painted - entire bird body to black, wings to gold, teeth gold, neck, feet and tail silver, hatch purple - the new black.

Added weapons on tail, turret on right wing, and minicon carrier/launcher on the left wing.

Hope you guys like it.

that's pretty damned sweet!

Awesomesauce!

I never would have thought G1s were repaint/kitbash fodder (it must of been a real junker) but nevertheless, not a bad concept/execution at all! It looks pretty damn good! :)

Thanks for the comments all. I will post updated in transformed mode once I have completed the second coat. Yes, G1 usually isnt but I had a spare and he's not as good quality on the white as the other as it was a little old. Rather than refurbishing him, I decided to make a new figure for my collection. Glad you guys like it. I havent done a custom for a while so this one was good to get back into it.

can u post a shuttle pic if able..

Sure thing. After I do the second coat. Hopefully tonight if I get the time.

Otherwise, over the weekend. Thanks for the interest.

nice one kelvinchang99

now we can reenact the season 3 opening titles, with him chasing skylynx through space


he looks hell evil

This was the Sky that served me previously, was it not? Good to see you've been able to make use (:

Dirge, well spotted. Wasnt sure what I was going to do with him and remembered Roller's suggestion. Glad you feel it was put to good use.

Roller, it was your suggestion that sparked this :) So this is dedicated to you.

Anything I can do to improve on it?
