I used A4 white decal paper from some random ebay store and printed them on a huge HP multifunction printer. It wasn't a specialized unit, just a general office printer, but they came out nice.

 

Finally got these display cases for my classes of 84 and 85 SDCC sets:

 

Finally gave Capt. Fanzone hair. Incidentally, he'd probably be nicely scaled with the Legacy Animated figures.

 

Very cool. Looks just like him.

 

I wonder how it would be like if someone made custom decals to make the 'Prime kreon similar to his reactivate version..

 

I got a new camera. I'm still getting used to it, but it's already a marked improvement over my previous ones. I've just got to get some basic image editing software. My Windows PC died, so I don't have access to paint. I'm using a Rasberry Pi with the Noobs OS, which doesn't seem to include anything similar. I just need to crop and resize, since I have more pics, but they're too big to post here.

I made Concept Art Starxus. The front and back of the torso are both clear. There's a wall of translucent orange bricks behind the head to create the effect of the orange liquid.


I made a functioning Throttlebot Searchlight. He transforms and has a pull-back motor that (barely) works in both modes. The motor's old, and he's pretty heavy, so it's to be expected. He's more of a Moseybot.



I realized a couple things while making Animated Constructicons. First, the short, stocky, stubbly loudmouth and his lanky, long-chinned sidekick remind me of the CGI guys in the Money for Nothing video. Second, for Constructicons, they don't have that much green and purple. The purple is just gloves and footwear. The green is alt-mode kibble. The rest of the bots are black, grey, or brown.

Here's Tarn's final form. The detail shows up a bit better with the new camera.
