Pretty inspiring! I'm definitely planning on getting a pair of Fakebusker's Shapeway hands! They look so awesome and would really spruce up my MP-M01 Starscream (I'd need to get a Dremel kit too, though cutting into a pricy MP figure is giving me seconds thoughts, lol). I'm more than happy with my Screamer's camo paint scheme but always felt some of the mold (especially the face, arms, and chest) could use a little more paint apps to really bring out the details. This is a nice start, man! Great job on the base coat and paint along his edges there. Can't wait to see how it turns out!
I appreciate the love man but looking at yours, it's really great! Only critic i'd say about it is the outlining of the wings/fins i'd make that a tad bit darker as it's too white. Then again it's your custom and be happy with what your doing other than that your doing a grand job so far! well done
Hey mate bit of advice if you haven't done this already, draw out the tattoos with pencil and then go over in paint.
nope, will never do that, cause gravite is ALWAYS swimming on every paint! i paint thi all freehand, not as perfect as yours or the glorious version of mechafacture (i'm currently thinking about buying a comission of these guys) but mine, so thx for your advice, i'll not follow it thank you
Its just a neat idea came to mind when i was about to do the tats. I was well aware that gravite and paint don't mix. Thats why i only drew out the outline of em. But hey like i said man, your custom you be happy
it doens't matter if you only outline with a pencil, the grapite will swim on the paint and cannot be removed anymore (exepct a rubber which destroys the custom) new pics:
Well let me tell you that this hasn't happened to me once because i am working real carefully. Btw great update! I think Screamer is looking great so far
i testet it several time with different pencils, it happens everytime, maybe i use the wrong paint for that. yeah a great (sloppy) update
you haven't read the thread right? http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/403872-rotf-leader-starscream-hands-shapeways.html
Looking great, lime! Your photos are great as well. Crystal clear. I need to find me some photography talent around here. Just, beautiful looking. What figure are you considering commissioning from mechafracture? They have been idle for a while.
