Hello all! After lurking on the boards for a while (and working up the courage) I thought I would finally post some pics of my Transformers collection.

My current display is setup along one wall of my game room and consists of a mixture of Masterpiece, CHUG's, IDW/MTMTE, and a few 3rd party. I have lots more pieces in my collection that I've amassed over the years, but it's all in storage at the moment

My POV from the couch

As you can see, TFs only occupy half of the entire display. The rest is dedicated to various anime, videogames, and comicbooks


Edit - My updated setup as of (7/11/17)


Edit - Re-organized section of the my display shelf as of (11/19/18)


I'll update this thread with a breakdown of each shelf and any corresponding galleries I've already posted elsewhere on this site. Hope you enjoy checking out my stuff!

Some more individual galleries to come!

 

Excellent display! Great poses all the way around!

 

Thanks! I'm not a huge fan of lining up my figures in a boring row of stiff formations. You got to pose them, otherwise what is the point of having them on display? They may not be super organized but at least they catch my attention and look interesting to me.

 

2nd post updated with breakdown of upper shelf and figure descriptions

 

3rd post updated with a breakdown of the lower shelf of my display.

Stay tuned, I'll be posting some more individual bot galleries over the next few days!

 

great display and collection. love the very subtle but effective black lining on some of the figures. Any pointers on how you do that? Cheers

 

Thanks!
Tips for panel lining: attention to detail (possibly bordering on slight OCD), steady hands, lots of patience  
Tools: black or gray fine tipped Gundam markers, super fine 0.3mm mechanical pencil

There are lots of different ways to do it. Some people with model building experience like to use a brush and diluted ink which creates a capillary action that fills in crevices. I find that a bit hard to control and very messy. Pen/markers and mechanical pencil are much easier, quicker to apply, and cleaner. I go over each of my figures in both robot and alt mode to see what areas can be enhanced through panel lining. Then it's just a matter of adding as much or as little as you like (it's basically just tracing surfaces, edges, and lines). And speaking of surfaces, you need to pay attention to the different kinds (glossy, matte, metallic, as well as color) Markers will do the job for almost anything, but if you want something less bold and finer, pencil is preferable (especially on white or lighter colors)

In all honesty, I would say that having the right tools helps immensely, as well as taking your time and practicing to find out what works best for you. Hope that helps.

 

Awesome looking display

 

Thanks for the tips, definitely something I will try will my generations collection

 

Thanks!

No problem. I'm no expert by any means, I'm just a collector who likes to enhance some of his figures.

 

Fansproject Function X Headmasters

Here are a few crappy pics of when I first got my FP F-X guys. They were a B-day gift for myself last year. Along with PE Warden they are my favorite 3rd party releases to date, simply for their design and engineering alone.

X-1 Code, X-2 Quad U, X-3 Smart Robin

Cockpits open

Thank you, for the detailed info. That picture of brainstorm lining himself is awesome!

 

Very nice collection

 

Nice display and awesome figs man!!

 

Thanks for the comments!

 

Your welcome! Glad you like my Brainstorm. I'll be posting some more images of him in the next couple of days.

 

Combiner Wars Legends Powerglide

Here's a re-post of some of my Powerglide pics from the Feedback forum. Definitely a fun a little figure to play around with, and also my first attempt at proper gallery style photos. He has been touched up with panel lining and a few paint accents.



Surprise forearm missile barrage!

Flexing those guns

Impeccable balance

Little bit of red paint on the fuselage makes all the difference




Missiles deployed

GERWALK mode, say what?


Some comparison shots





Some Cosmos and Payload pics next!

 

Nice collection
