I just joined the site recently and have been a huge transformer fan for years, then I saw this site and what you guys were doing to transformers. This is my 1st 1. I gave this Optimus Prime a more G1 look with G1 colors, just added more detail and gave it a worn look. Took me a total of about 10 hours. I'll be clear coating it tonight.
That is always a fun one to paint because anything you do on that mold is an improvement. Yours is awesome. Very toon looking. Nice job.
Welcome to Radicons! Thanks for sharing your work, and I hope we see more from ya! Keep up the good work!
Welcome to the site. Prime looks awesome.I like the toony beat to hell look man. Keep up the good work.
Very nice man, I agree with the others, it looks very toony. That's 'toon' style is a great style to master and perfect. The legs look great! Let's see that Megatron you're working on and yes, welcome to the forum.
Thanks. Already working on the Megatron with a new technique that I haven't seen in the forums yet. I think you guys will like how it looks!
Hey man, I just took another look at your OP and it really does have a nice toony look to it. Are you going to sell this or keep it? If you're new to repainting TFs, this would sell man! Good job with it!
I was going for the toon look, but worn. Like it's been out for awhile. I think it gives it a more rustic appeal. I'm considering selling it with the Megatron that comes in the box. I'm just about finished prepping the Megatron so I can prime it and paint it. I'm doing the toon look on him too, but since he's a tank it'll be different than the gun. Robot mode will look pretty much the same.
Not a bad paintjob there. Certainly makes an otherwise bleh figure more appealing though to be honest though I don't think I've seen a G1 Prime where both the robot mode and truck mode look really good. The classics one does but that's a lil stylistically different.
With a little paint this mold becomes much like the ths hybrid mold, nice bot mode and crap alt mode. Our paint apps are very simular with the exception of the red/gray stripe on the stomach. I wish there was a better head though. Something just seems off about it, thinking it's the mouthplate.
