    Really great mods, but the paint is just fantastic! I really like the toning you achieved.

    Looks really good! You got the gun pretty accurate and the body proportions look nice. Realistic paint job too. If anything, his head might could use a bit deeper damage. I could be wrong though since Its hard to tell without a front on pic.

    That is amazing, truly beautiful work, well done. If you don't mind me asking what did you use for the fingers of his hands? They are just perfect.

    details

    ALL HAIL MEGATRON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    This unique non transforming figure has been hand built using a ROTF Leader Prime as well as a ROTF leader Megatron.

    The figure features the following
    Custom designed body made using transformer and other toy parts as well as cut styrene pieces and other scratch built parts
    ! light up eyes/head as well as gun and voice sounds (I AM MEGATRON). these are activated by two small camouflaged switches located around the figures chest.
    Articulation including arms, legs ,feet, waist, hand and head (on ball joint)
    Custom made articulated hand designed by FAKEBUSKER !!! this hand is amazing and features fully articulated fingers and wrist (on ball joint). This hand is strong enough to clasp other weapons you may have
    left hand has been made using parts from a spawn figure and the talons are articulated
    Movie accurate paint job with enamels ! I have used the finest enamel paint to achieve a close colour match to the film using a multilayer technique. Rust and weathering was then added using enamels.
    Movie accurate battle damage to the head
    custom made battery cover fixing
    Custom made tarp which has been stained, scorched and frayed to provide a realistic effect
    Custom made blaster made from tubes and styrene
    Real metal chains added
