Repaints and minor sculpting and stuff :)

Hey dudes!

Been busier than busy with life and its commitments <_<; Only doing a few small things here and there - Will be more free after I'm done with Manifest related stuff :) (Melb Anime Fest) Phew @_@;
New Henkei Convoy
Firstly - a repaint of my henkei convoy. Why? Cause mine was terribly miscoloured. People who've seen mine can attest that my convoy had Universe Sideswipe syndrome (red paint on transparent bits being very diff in colour to the plastic). Don't have pics now actually... D'oh! Either way, changed the dego to better suit G1, and here we go! :D

WIP- Custom Jazz
Then: Jazz! I'm really happy with how it's progressed thus far and the resculpting of Prowl's head was awesome FUN!

[/b]Of course, he's heavily work in progress, but this gives us a look at how he'll look like! :D Exciting! :D

I. love jazz. looks awesome with prowl body. Suits it nicely, well done so far.

Do you have pics of before you repainted henkei prime?

I luv those rich colours on Prime! :)

Did you look at Robot Heroes Jazz for a head swap? Would it even be the right size?

nice OP dude!

Oh man Albie! I love these but when are we going to start on the Rainmakers?

Nice paint, keen to see where you're going with these.

I like where Jazz is headed.
I'd love a close up of his head?

very nice work with both figures Albie...!!!

Ah, so these are what u wanted me to see last week. I've been figuring when to pop around. Just gotta find time

Jazz is just too frickin' awesome, man.

Yes well after seeing these guys in the flesh I am verily impressed!:)

Jazz looks to be coming along nicely but that Henkei Prime really takes the cake. Absolutely awesome paintjob. Only about a billion times better than anything that's come from Takara or Hasbro. The pics don't do it justice at all.

Well done lcz!!!:):):)

Robot Heroes Jazz? That's the SD range of cute tformers, right? Didn't think of that as I don't buy that line - At present, it's just a sculpted over Prowl head... Anyone got one to show me (melbourners?)

Which one(s)? :) OP, i'm thinking of doing the blue as well. Jazz...he just has so much more to go - that said, your guidance throughout these last few months has been awesome ^_^

(note that going to need to touch up the head again- I'm just taking this pic for sculpt purposes - blue of the visor has gotten dirty and needs retouching :))
*note*:this closeup is *just* off-centre :)

^_^ Thanks! :D Yay for the chrome on the Takara Henkei Convoy though :) Really makes the truck mode ^_^


------------------------------------
And now a mini update:

This is how I've figured out that Mirage can 'stow' his rocket launcher thing while in vehicle mode (the sculpt is too efficient and there are no gaps where this could rest! :(

Jazz mini update... Not really an update but rather posing shots :b

Here's D-Unit's work from Tfans, & if you wanna borrow any ideas... :)

For the Jazz visor you might want to try this. Spray the face silver with a lacquer (like the Tamiya spray cans) then brush on clear blue with an acrylic or enamel paint. The silver will show up underneath making it shine. :)

Wow thanks!

had a glimpse of lcz's Voyager Prime and it's pretty neat.
i was too afraid to transform him though...

bring them out to the next meet-up at the Discount's place

That Classics OP custom repaint is awesome. Love the chrome/metallic highlights around the windshield. Excellent hue of red used as well.

The Jazz head sculpt looks fantastic. Wish I had the skills to sculpt. We await the finished Jazz.

Minor update here:
Working on Rainmaker and Jazz still...

Haha XD
Rain of a different kind? :b Not quite though :b T'was just the primer. :)
That said, Rainmaker's head is done :) Simple repaint while waiting for paint of the other bits to dry :)

Pics aren't as sharp as I would like - not quite 100% up to speed with using my camera just yet (this was with macro mode on) Hrmms
