G1 Articulated Actionmaster Devastator


 This is my very first attempt at creating an articulated figure. This is a KO devastator that I got from Big Lots. I used parts froma KO Alternator Wheeljack figure and parts from a StarWars Tie fighter Transformer. He now has articulation in his hands, elbows, wrists. thighs, head and knees. He took a very long time to do. I would like to thank everyone who replied to my WIP thread and gave me suggestion for his color. After he was all painted up, I made an attempt at doing some washes to give him a dirty look. I am very proud of how he came out. I just might try this again if the mood ever hits me. Unfortunately because it was such a cheap KO he no longer transforms back into the individual bots.







Beast Wars TM2 Megatron


Megatron Needed some work. I bought him not realizing he was already damaged I remolded his face and painted the eyes and helmet red. The claws on the side of his face were made with some epoxy and then done in black. Using the drybrush technique I gave him some battle damage. To give the Dragon neck/Robot arm better poseability, the rubber mechanism was removed and picture hanging wire run through a hole drilled through the center. 
What I'd like to do is find another and do a complete repaint on him.

Classics 2.0 Skywarp


Here we have a basic repaint of Classics 2.0 Starscream into Skywarp. This is actually the second time I painted him. I didn't really care for the first result so I did it again. I painted the main body in Krylon Gloss Blck and then used a Pearlescent Purple paint marker on all his purple parts. Model Masters Titanium with my new airbrush for his missles. And of course, the Decepticon symbols are from Repro Lables.com








Transformers 2007 Movie Megatron Leader Class


Megatron really needed some work. His colors were just all wrong. His body was completely painted black and then drybrushed in sliver and aluminum. The pods on the front of the jetmode are removable in Robot mode. That way they are out of the way and he looks much better as a robot. Megatron still has all his articulation. Gold highlights were added all over in both modes.







Bartok: King of the Centaurs


Bartok was an original character I made for a custom contest on Figure Realm. Unfortunately, due to costs, I can no longer post figures to that site. 

Bartok: King of the Centaurs. As a youngling, Bartok loved to play in the Rang Shea Mountains near his home. He was a care free youth who was adept at hunting, fishing and woodcraft. Like his father he too would one day lead the Centaur nation. Life was good. When he was eight he killed his first dear. At age fifteen he took the trials of manhood. Bartok took down a large grizzly bear all alone. While out with a hunting party cries could be heard coming from the village. The humans came from all over. They feared the peaceful centaurs because they did not understand them. The humans hunted and killed any centaur they could find . Women, children, it did not matter. During the fighting, Bartok?s father Dorgan was killed. When it was all over, there were less than 100 centaurs left alive. Bartok became king and swore vengeance on the humans. He swore that not one man, woman or child will be safe as long as he draws breath.

WFC Optimus Prime



I began by spraying him with Krylon gloss black the a couple coats of Alclad II chrome. I then used Clear Red for his upper body and Clear Blue for the lower half. I used Model Masters Florescent Red/ Orange for his hi lights. I dry brushed parts of his arms and legs. Then I added the weathering and did some black washes over him. I made the Ax from Styrene. This is my first attempt at making anything like that. I used parts from Classics Deluxe Megatron and The Sword from a Knock off Alternators Wheeljack. I know it's not as cool as Mechafacture's but then I'm not that skilled. His gun was painted black and then hi lights added to it. 













Drizzt DoUrden



From the pages of the Forgotten Realms comes everyone favorite Dark Elf, Drizzt Do'Urden. He was made froma Helm's Deep Legolas figure. Painted the exposed skin and armor black, the hair white and used a cotton ball to simulate the fur on his cloak. His swords are Glamdring from a couple of Gandalf figures I had. I have since, removed the skirt part and sculpted new handles and pomels for Icingdeath and Twinkle
