http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/trans...eah-tf-pics-thread-2013-rules-first-post.html

This thread is for posting your quality, high end pics. Lightbox pics, etc. This is to allow those who want to post their high quality pics a place to showcase their photos, and help those who want to improve their photography skills.

Here's some guidelines:

• LIGHTBOX TYPE SHOTS ONLY, OR PHOTOGRAPHS WHICH MIND THEIR BACKGROUNDS: This thread is not for desktop or driveway photography. Use a background. Flexibility may be granted if utmost care is taken to ensure quality otherwise. No cellphone pics.
  
• PLEASE KEEP IMAGE SIZE TO A REASONABLE RESOLUTION: Preferably less than 1,000 pixels wide. Even though the forums will appear to resize your images, the entire file will load with every refresh and giant images will slow down the thread. Large images may be removed and the poster may repost a smaller version. Pics above 1200 pixel-wide resolution are always way too big and will be removed immediately. Please shoot for around 1000 pixels. Minor differences like 1050 pixels are not an issue.
  
• HEAVY PHOTOSHOP USAGE OR ADDING OF EFFECTS BELONGS IN THE COOL STUFF THREAD: Minor effects like adding eye-glow or such is fine, but the spirit of this thread is to showcase photography, not image editing. Please post heavily modified images in the Cool Stuff thread instead.
  
• POSTS WHICH DO NOT MEET THE ESTABLISHED GUIDELINES MAY BE MOVED TO ANOTHER THREAD OR REMOVED: It's nothing personal, but this thread is designed to have a separate personality from the Cool Stuff thread with an emphasis on quality and helping your fellow TFW board member get things "just right." "Third Party" products are acceptable in this thread.

We may adjust the guidelines going forward. But for the meantime, take some photos and have fun!

I'm applying the stickers on mine.. and it takes looooong. And I suck at it   And I suck even more at painting, so I will keep him in his standard colors.

 

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

I suppose the time I posted this made it 2015 in at least half of the world... also it was the last post in the 2014 thread... so... T_T

Last pics for the year...

Storm Jet + Wing Saber using some adapters to allow the combo:


Landquake:


And isn't this romantic..?

Hm, I didn't know Superion can merge with Wingsaber

 

practicing some differing contrast (black & white) on black with my favorite TFCC exclusives





and MP Prowl

 

The ultimate contrast challenge. Good work, Bryce!

I had to put together a whole new light box for these pics, but Metroplex finally has a friend to play with:



Thanks to hardreturn, Sentinel's "Gigantic Action" Scorponok is now a proud part of my collection.



Hey guys, quit fighting!



I suppose it was foolish of me to expect them to get along...  

 

Again, some adapters were used to enable it. Energon Adapters (4 pack) by process on Shapeways

 

glad to have helped!  

he's a big fun thing eh? and that last pic is the first i've seen metroplex look really good.

 

That is one big setup to accomodate these two toys
