Stencilators Movie Sideswipe

[stencilator]

Hey Hey Ozformers,

Here's what was supposed to be a simple custom that I seem to have made a meal of. I took a Movie Cliffjumper and started by removing the stripes. This is where my problems started. I used a little too much efforst removing the paint and damaged the plastic, then thought I could fix it by polishing it with my dremel, which melted the plastic. I ended up having to sand back these panels and painting then with a clear coat. They came up ok.

Then I set about resculpting the head. I wanted to give him a face so that he had a distinctly G1 Sideswipe head. Adding the "ears" was easy enough and I even tried to shape them to fit in with the movie style head. Then I tried to give him a face. I wasn't happy with my first attempt so I kept trying to fix it and it kept getting worse, so I thought f#$% it.... painted it, and now he's done.





I know I didn't give it much of a write up, but this piece will be up for sale or trade next week along with some other customs and some G1 figures. Keep an eye out!

Ha, nice, how exactly do you do your head remoldings? i could never work out how to do it right.

Wow a few changes to the colours of Cliffjumper and it does look a lot like Sideswipe. Nice work. I do like the headwork too.

I agree - nice resculpt of the face

I use a tamiya putty that I mix together then apply it to the parts in the rough shape of what I want to create, always built up larger than the actual shape. Leave it til the next day then I carve the shape down with a new blade, then sand it nice and smooth. Then sometimes a few extra details with the blade or a small screwdriver and more sanding.

Thanks for the positive response guys.
