Pimp My... Shattered Glass/Diaclone Insecticons

Pimp My Toy · 05-31-2012, 09:42 PM

Here we have some Shattered Glass Insecticons, although they equally work as Diaclone originals too (given that the diaclone molds were repurposed for the SG universe). They are created from the G1 Insecticons and have been heavily modified to provide some much needed articulation. I've also taken a bit of artistic licence and allowed Shrapnel's jaws/horns to rotate for a more streamlined look.

These were done for a good fellow who is organising a charity event and hopefully they will raise some money for a good cause. More details on that soon as the event rolls out in June.

There are some WIP pics at the end to show what was done to them and a picture of the final packaged set including my signature collectors cards

So it's my pleasure to introduce Kickback, Shrapnel and Bombshell (or Shothole, Zaptrap ad Salvo if you prefer)...

Forgot to mention, as they were suffering from chrome-wear, I gave their chome bits a few coats of holochromatic chrome. The chrome now shines with rainbow colours in good lighting conditions, although appears a bit muted in the photos. Enjoy

Great, great job. I love the chromatic chroming, it looks just like the effect on live insect wings.
