DOTM Megatron repaint

[AJ_Prime]

Here are some updated progress pics, sorry it's taken so long. I've been distracted by Fall of Cybertron and Transformers Legends for a while, as well as other stuff. I've decided this year to finish some half-completed projects and this is on the top of my to do list. Robot mode will hopefully follow very soon, but in the meantime please enjoy these pics of completed alt mode:







Here is a comparison pic with the original figure. This shot also gives away the magic of how my background was created. Pretty simple really, just 2 separate desert shots I googled, printed and taped together.

^ The difference is night and day. Thanks for the comparison pic too because i was just staring at the sweet background and forgot how bland the standard release is (fun figure though).

I like the effort you went to with your pics too; nice background, interesting angles and depth of field and all that. Now bring Megatron out of hiding

That looks great.

The original looks so toyish next to yours. Fantastic job dude!

So sorry I'm late or I would have said something sooner!!!

He looks fantastic! And the background... very clever!

I can't WAIT to see him in robot mode!

Well done!

Beautiful work. as will your previous customs. you're patience shows through your work, the level of detail is outstanding.

Bring on the robot mode AJ.

Thanks everyone, I've started working on the robot mode already. Hopefully will be finished in the next few weeks (I don't get much time to do the painting due to kids so can only do a bit some evenings). Hope it turns out okay.

Ok, it's finally finished. I might have to print up a wider background, I realised while taking pics that this one didn't quite cut it. You get the idea though. I'm thinking of installing a red LED behind his eyes, but it depends how much room is in his head first... Either way might take some more pics with better background later.

Here are the pics of him in bot mode (I apologise for the orientation of the pics, they are the right way up in photobucket so not sure why they have rotated here... If anyone knows how to fix it, please advise).

Hope you all enjoy, I'm pretty happy he's now finished.

You did a fantastic job turning that lump of dull grey plastic into a really cool figure. Congratulations mate.
