Making of gas tank cannon, shoulder pads, and the robot "wings" :

Cool how they made that gun. Why is the figure painted to look like a prototype though?

 

Its probably Primer so that the next layer of paint adheres better.

 

I dunno..........TF4 ????? ??????? (8/14 update) @ AVAPEI WORKS :: ??? PIXNET ::

 

It's definitely primer, you can see some of the base plastic color on the right elbow through a scratch

And primer also serves to normalize the colors, ensuring consistent colors throughout, as the base color can affect the appearance of any colors painted over them, usually when the base color and the paint color are on opposite sides of the spectrum, its what causes bleed through when the paint isn't thick enough, and generally speaking, the reason canvases are white

 

Customs made by other artists than the original poster go in Creative General Discussion.

 

You need to look further into that thread : so many brilliant modifications - way more than only just the gun.

 

Man, looking at that thread, that is a sexy sexy Evasion OP. Can't wait to see the final product.

Those tank guns are what scratchbuilding is all about. I know some other people have done tutorials showing this type of build, but could we maybe come up with a page of links to sites and pages like this to show everyone how it's done? I think some people get turned off by scratchbuilding when they see the final product, but once you see that its just different shapes and bits of plastic glued together, sanded and filed down to the shape you want is really all that it is. Anyone could do that with an x-acto blade, sandpaper, and 10-20$ of styrene.

 

Somebody digibash this.

 

What hands are those?
