    Default WIP Custom G1 Black Zarak

    Ok well a while ago I bought I G1 Scorponok from the UK the seller stated it was mint and when I recieved him it was far from mint! There was a broken tab on his leg here


    And as you can see he is VERY faded








    And since its pritty much a Junker I thought I would turn him into Black Zarak
    As you can see I already have the paint




    I have all ready completed the gun


    I have sent the Chest Piece and the chrome towers to the US to the guy who does all the chrome transformers on TFW2005 to get gold chromed just like the original. And am talking to some people who own the real thing about getting the head and staff molded

    He’s going to take a while the find everything but he will get there in the end

    wow dude... so far it looks very promising.....
    i have to check for sure when i get home later but that gold gun cover looks pretty much spot on with the real one....

    This is a really handy thing to know that if my BZ ever gets fuct up from GPS, then i can use your work as reference for repair!!!

    Btw, are you planning on cast mould the broken the leg part or apply some styrene/putty magic?

    also, are you gonna add "articulation" or stick to exact G1 likeness??

    What's this gold chroming you speak of? It sounds intriguing.

    The part that broke off i later found in the box he was shipped in so will just super glue together

    Also if you want to donate your Black Zarak head and staff to me, that would be great

    His chest and tower parts will look like this


    basically chrome but its gold to match Black Zarak, i send my stuff to the guy who painted that sunstorm and many more on TFW2005

    Interesting, it sounds like vacuum plating as done to original parts.

    chroming doesnt sound cheap at all...
    but it certainly beats finding a non-broken BZ...
