Thanks man, and I am absolutely loving your recent pics, especially the dynamic use of stands!

No light tent in this case, I actually gave them all away! Here I've got lights behind and to either side of him:

The rest is just messing around with some editing.

 

Have decided on £270 - with 'sensible' offers considered, in the end  

 

That is pretty amazing! How did you do the background? Is that like green screen type plate thing then you add the image in photoshop? What lights are they?

 

Selling him as I actually want the Power of the primes Optimal optimus - He's bit smaller and I kind of just like the design better than the original  

 

Mmmm, fresh Diaclone, my favourite!  



These are very cool looking and incredibly versatile, barely scratched the surface of what you can do with these.

 

Thanks bud! I used PicsArt to delete the background and add a new one. Photoshop is beyond me lol!

These are the lights I used on the side, they're basically cheap versions of lume cubes, two will usually be enough for most photos.

This is the one in the back, I probably wouldn't recommend it as much, it needs to be plugged and tends to overheat so it's a bit of a pain.

 

These look so good!

 

You are too kind mate, the talent in this thread is phenomenal and I genuinely feel like I stand amongst giants sometimes!

(which I guess is how some of you felt around me at TFN!  )

 

They look so fun! Lil moon vehicles. Do you have a diaclone set up? They could make for such interesting bases

 

If in doubt, pull out!

SS86 Wheelie and Galaxy Shuttle landed. Been busy so other than unboxing and a quick fiddle, little has been done.


Wheelie:

Better than that awful static figure.


Galaxy Shuttle:

Looking alright in white. He just looks like he’s going to the colour of hardened sebum though, doesn’t he? Hope that’s not the case as he’s a pretty boy.

 

Just picking this up from the notes on the front page

Soooo..Turbomasters? Motorvators?
Let's fucking gooooo!

 

It's on my to do list for our new home, the generations shelves are getting done first so most of my Diaclone is still in storage in the garage at the mo.

 

If you need me to care of it let me know  

 

Cmon Hasbro release an updated Pincher!!! He is an Autobot but my science division always welcomes new recruits….

 

Clearing out some stock, first wave is up -

Sale - Discount and Clearance Toys - Gear4Geeks

Taking my time as I'm still not recovered fully from my recent stay at the hospital.

 

Question for the customisers, how does one go about removing a pin like this:


That doesn't have anything on the other side to push from:

 

Saw you mention that on the Twitterz, but didn’t want to pry; hope you are on the up dude  

 

Unfortunately capped pins with no visible opposing end are an advanced level extraction, and not something I've attempted myself as it requires a specialist bit of tooling, namely a soldering iron to heat the pin up enough that it makes the plastic pliable enough for the pin to be drawn out with a strong magnet.

Ignore the 'Tuber saying neodymium magnets are hard to get, you can easy get one from the UK-based 'powermagnetstore' or 'magnet_store' on Ebay for mere quids.

 

Lol, who is that? 

On Cybertron, the one Steve rule is rigidly enforced!

Most Superior.

Thanks @Napalm !


Unfortunately she's setting off my chemical sensitivity and I don't currently have a way to air her to get rid of the fumes because of the cold weather  . I think I need to look into the things you can get to absorb chemical fumes...
