After many DOTM Leader class customs, not it's time for tiny stuff like DX.
I really like the proportion of this fig, the most accurate official DX.

Custom Details:
- Added balljoint at wrist for better posture.
- Removed spring from mechtech weapon, so that it would stay open and close with out popping.
- Paint with custom mix yellow to give the different shade when faces different lighting.
- Realistic Mechanic
- Super detail
- Super smooth gloss coat
- Painted with TB-Production's signature shade.

Nice bro

 

thats so nice!

Am thinking to remove the annoying springs from his gun too!

 

A simple deluxe just looks so badass now.

 

that yellow is perfect! what colors did you mix?

 

Looks fantastic! Could you post some more pics of his weapon? I'd like to see it from the side and other angles with what you did...

 

Thanks JC, your Ironhide rocks.

Yeah, much better after removing it out.

Thanks! Deluxe figure got a lot of potential though!

Yellow + Orange  

Will take more photo of him.  

 

hoooo~~~ nice. XD
now if there was some way of getting a nice looking battlemask in there without a headswap, I think your Bee would be perfect. XD

 

Good job bro..from a rather bland looking movie toy it has become a much more desirable & awesome piece. Especially digging the shiny yellow body paintjob.

 

hey dude,could you give a tutorial on how to fix Bumblebee's weapon? I tried it & had disasterous results

 

Bookmarked and ready when I need it! I am gonna have a go at recreating this for my son's Bumblebee...

Problem is... the paint. Can I use the same acrylic I use for miniature modeling? Or should I choose a solvent-based paint with an airbrush?? I know you use an airbrush...

 

Your customs are always awesome to see man, so clean and silky smooth  

 

SICK

 

Pretty damn awesome!

 

Very clean!

 

awesome work, bro. Can buy from you?  

 

That looks sick!

 

Nice job! always saw this as another BB fig, but you really hit it out of the ballpark  !

 

Yeah, only one point that I would love this mould to have.

Thank! That yellow is real pain to paint  

Just Remove the spring inside.

Laquer based would be better than water-based acrylic. The one for miniature normally is water-based which is good for brushing.

Thank you guys!

 

My son's unboxed the Bumblebee I got him for Christmas : ) and I've gone and started painting in his legs based on and hugely inspired by the paint job here.

I realise my efforts will be short-lived though... as I've gone with water-based acrylics. I guess I could put it all down to practice and experience.

I do have to thank Toby a thousand times for the tips he's given here and the work/detail he's displayed. I only wish I had the time to do more of this!
