Ah, my first Revenge of the Fallen custom. I started with something light this first round, Breakaway who probably doesn't appear in the film but is in the game. I wanted to make him more like the CG model for the game and went about shortening his Gatling gun, fixing his head and neck, then giving him a paint job that was more like the art. The wings needed something, missiles! Tho I'm not sure if the plane type actually has them there.
The paint job is far more complex than my last customs and consists of multiple layered paint shades, metallic actuator and gear detail, flight weathered edges, exhaust streaking, inner mechanical shading, oil, dust, and grease splatter. I'm going to go even further on the larger voyager/leader class ones and see if I can mix airbrushed shading, pastels, and every technique I can think of to create something that will either blow your mind or have people screaming in horror. Only time will tell! "If my father were alive, I could make him proud!"

I love this character very much as well. Too bad he ain't in the movie.
About the missiles ; he's a F35 'stealth' fighter, so he carries missiles in the main hull in order to avoid radar detection.
Oh btw... i don't mean to hijack your thread but since you like this character too you might want to see my mod to make his wings a bit more accurate to the real F35 jet. I also trimmed off his small toes to have proportional feet. (the Cgi art actually depicts he's got 3 toes, not 4.)

I find it funny as to how almost everybody thought Breakaway would just suck more than Movie Swindle due to his looks, and yet he's both a great toy on his own AND easy to Radicon-ize as well!
I so need him right now... Robot of Miracles: A Story of Second Chances Latest Unseen Stories Update: 1/16/10 "Robot of Miracles: Sleeping Beauty" |

I'll be doing another now that I watched the ingame video. His main wings fold too, I need balljoints on those next. "If my father were alive, I could make him proud!"
