    You brilliantly made both Optimus Prime and Bumblebee "come alive". Can't wait to see you do the same with the rest of the WFC figures (if you are willing to do it of course). (Now why Hasbro didn't think of using neon paint in the 1st place...:inquisiti  )

    Fixed.


    Mechafracture...I.... I.....can't.......even.....

    These figures, Prime especially, just set an entirely new precedent as to why MASTER is in the word MASTERPIECE. You have raised the bar to a new level that I fear few will even come close to matching, and fewer who will surpass it. This is insane.

    I honestly cannot believe what I am seeing here. These were extracted from the game.... no....wait.... these are better than the video game.... The detail, the neon, the battle damage..... Unreal.

    One question... if I may ask.... what is YOUR technique for paint wear? I'm assuming it's based on the paints you use, or the coatings and clearcoat... but I could be wrong.

    Thanks! Not much difference, it's just that the neon won't be as bright as seen in the pictures.

    Thank you TLS! Yeap I'm currently waiting for the decepticons figures!

    Thank you BL29!

    These literally look like they just stepped out from the game. Fantastic work!

    Absolutely badass. Prime is definetly THE War for Cybertron toy to get. If only the axe was included with the original release.

    Do you plan on doing Megatron and Soundwave down the pipe?

    Absolutely, this is the best custom repaint of the WFC figures that I've ever seen to date. Kudos for making them more game accurate. :D

    Hey Janeails22x, how are ya! Oh man... i'm totally flattered... thank you Janeails22x! With the right paint usage and sense of realism would do the trick. As a start, ask yourself what would a worn out metal would look like or you can head outside and take a look at those old cars or metal parts around your home or basement. ;) 

    Thank you Choppaa! Haha, how I wished hasbro would release one. A board member by the name Venksta do have a kick-ass axe for WFC Prime! And yes, I'm currently waiting to get my hands on the decepticons figures. Until then, stay tuned, aite?!

    Thank you Jack!

    Thank you TC!

    Thank you fastball!

    Whoopsie.... a little bit of confusion. I was actually talking about the physical paint that YOU are applying to the figure. What technique/application do you use to prevent your paint from chipping off or wearing off in your joints and wear spots during transformation? :D

    ohh gezz... Sorry about that... just a normal protective coating or two would do. As for ball joints, try not to paint it as much as possible.

    Thanks bro, it's the neon paints that do the wonders!

    Thank you Shadowbreaker! Hope that you recollect your mind pieces, as there'll be more coming up soon!
