I keep suggesting to Iceburn and STL we need Repainting classes. We should make that the April meet! Buy some paint, some cheap toys and try it out.

lol we shoudl all meet at a games workshop.... they usually would let us have the paints at heavily discounted rates if were in store! plus they can also help us with outlining and drybrushing ( thats where i learnt my painting skills..)... jsut spent 20 mins with one of the guys in there before i bought some paints...

Hi lcz128,

Nice paintjob.. Would've taken some time to get through these guys..

I like what you have done with them. Definitely can compare notes.

Thanks for your reference to my paint job on Starscream. Its a great compliment and hey, I think you have found yourself the perfect place for those shots.

I gotta get myself a better camera.

Keep going with it.. I think it would be great to see your challenge on the Megatron Leaderclass. This one is one a repaint makes a big difference too.

Love to see your starscream and surpass what I have been able to do.

Kindest regards,

Hey guys - will individually reply to the posts shortly, but here's a quick preview of what's to come... (when i can borrow a good camera) :b

[lcz128]

TheDamned : Thanks a lot dude

STL : Of course I still want Premium figures! Cause if I want to customise their paintjobs from there, there's less work! :b (i'm really hoping Premium Jazz has a nice shiney silver - No work required at all! ) We could probably do something RE: Painting tips and stuff... We'll have to see how

Borgeman & Paulbot & goro : That actually wouldn't be a bad idea! Then I'd meet you guys too

kelvinchang99 :Thanks dude And yes! a good camera is definitely a good idea My Starscream's come off looking a bit golden... but I'm really happy with how he turned out- Shiney but dirty at the same time And I'm not so sure I want to tackle Megatron- cause the Premium one looks to be pretty good already! May just sit with that and be happy with it.

Also guys -Newest upcoming custom is... Stockade!!! Gave him a new paintjob at work that is actually a clean-look paintjob. Pics to come!

Thanks again guys

[Saintly]

nice work dude

[lcz128]

Awright...
BAD shots, but custom paintjobs part two!

Stockade
Crap! Just noticed I didn't manage to take alt mode shots when I was at my parents'! Crap! There's still a little bit of touching up that needs to be done to this guy - But as you can see, I've removed most of the awful allspark blue and put in different shades of metal that mimic the colour the plastic is cast in I managed to paint AROUND the decepticon insignia (as I did with Starscream below) which I'm very happy about. I went for a more complete metal look - somewhat closer to regular tf's than movie tfs (though I did do the worn-metal look for a few bits. The chest was painted a beautiful glossy black before bronze details were added in (i'm seriously loving the glossblack I bought ) Note as well that his whole head was repainted too with a shade of metal (gunmetal?) and basically, we have a very non-plasticky looking TF! (note there's a bit of slop I have to clean up where I've repainted his tail lights to be less flat and pastel) but other than that- There we go! he's seriously one of my current fave deluxes!



StarScream
I'm a bit half-half with this screamer. On the one hand, I love how it turned out, on the other, I want to do another one from scratch to see what else I can come up with. He's come off looking rather gold with lots of weathering going on. and I can't for the life of me decide what I want to go with! What I really like about this custom is that the paintjob came out really smooth. Other than the intended splots and texturing going on, everything else is smoooth Also, I really like the result of the black-lining I did on the guy. It brings out SO MUCH DETAIL.



SO. There we go. Done and done and hopefully better images when I next borrow my colleague's camera...
Peace out and please do leave your thoughts and comments
