99's Articulated Black Zarak (from Scorponok)

[kelvinchang99]

Hi guys,

Getting close to finishing this guy. Transformation pics coming soon but is also a triple changer ... This one follows a similar G1 transformation but more about that later.

A friend of mine helped me cast the head and staff. The figure comes from a Scorponok base, repainted and added articulation to the arms (360 degrees) and legs that can bend. Also, painted with gold to match the G1 replica.

I have done the paint job with more detailing from the original. Before anyone puts their arms up, this is based on a Scorponok base, not the Black Zarak figure which is impossible to obtain.

Alt modes coming soon.

Hope you guys like it.

Ideas for your one?

Nice work KC.

Thanks guys for the comments. Glad you like the articulation and the work gone into him. Going to be adding builk to the knee before the alt pics. Otherwise, I am 90% done with this guy.

Rampagess, happy to help. I will be getting a few more sets coming. Can speak about it if you are still interested. But, is this only a bit improvement??

Gamblor, thank you.

OH wow! Now I know who I need to contact to obtain a Zarak head and staff...you!! Id like to take a crack at making one like rampagess but prolly hold on the gold plating unless its cheap. This is really nice KC!

wtf man?
you would think that after having a new baby, there would be less time for customs but somehow you still manage to pump out some crazy projects??

great work so far dude! i love articulated G1's. cant wait to see updated pics with a beefed up knee joint and some alternate mode shots!!!

Id be interested in a repro head and staff

[kelvinchang99]

Okay, I have had alot of interest on various boards with the set of casting but on a count, I only have 1 set available as spare.

The set comes with:
1 x Helmet (comes as 2 pieces with a joint)
1 x Staff (comes as 2 pieces with a joint)
Left and Right leg piece
Shoulder Cannon x 4
Shield (comes as 2 pieces with a joint) x 1
Gun (one piece) x 1

The set is not cheap, but then neither is Black Zarak. It can only be sold as a set. $140 including shipping (sorry, the cast materials are expensive and the pieces are large).

I will have the pieces in about 2-3 weeks.

The cast is done in clear plastic and durable like the original. Can be painted over.

Let me know if you are still interested (Linthart, Rampagess) but I tend to lean towards Rampagess so he can complete his Black Zarak custom.

Let me know.

Bruticus, yeah, I know. I have another custom to update soon. Who would have thought.

Liege, you are absolutely right on the times I can spare to do customs. I have had a good run recently but back at work now.

Trunks, thank you. I am glad you like it. Hope you will like the alt modes too.

1Areal1, thank you. I hope to improve on this once I get a few hours to tweak the knees and complete the alt modes.

I am looking for the 2 orange ramps that attach to the legs if anyone has any spares.

if nobody wants the casted set, then i dont mind grabbing the whole lot off you KC.

but just wandering though, is there a gun cover that comes with the set? or is the gun cover and gun part casted as 1 piece??
