    seamless bash! very awesome! all the pieces look like they were made to fit together! well done!

    where can one get that head? This would scale nicely with generations deluxes much better than the original generation voyager toy

    again, well done!

    You sir, I think should have won 1st. This is epic! If this was a real, able to buy in store masterpiece, I'd get it in a heart beat. Nicely done.

    Great piece as all of your other work and it still floors me over a week later how this could come in 3rd place.

    FYI, the resin head was purchased off of Ebay from seller: artelokokustoms. Probably Arte Loko on the boards.

    Good idea! It probably be a bit big. Unfortunately the black antennas no longer rotate, a sacrifice to hollow the head out into a helmet.

    No prob, I did see your sweet Blaster tho!


    I went with panel lining as a way to add detail and some sense of a little weathering to what would otherwise be a dreadfully bland white figure. Maybe I went overboard, but I was in a groove (no pun intended).

    Thanks to everyone for the positivity! I wasn't intending to get contest sympathy. I enjoyed even placing (the other Skyfire was neat too). I take entries to Botcon to show them off in person to 1000s of people. It is also a good deadline to motivate me to finish.

    I kinda agree that the categories need to be changed. There are too many for 2D art (B&W, color, computer generated) but only one for Custom figures. The should add categories for Custom Transformers Figure Repaint, Custom Transformers Figure Heavy Modification, Non-traditional 3-D Figures (paper, fabric, plushies, macaroni, whatever, ...), and costumes.
