i used a white gunpla marker on my old SS86 Starscream and he fucingcorroded

im not mad, i was in need of an upgrade after seeing that new 86 starscream. i used a white acrylic gundam marker to paint the gray plastic to be whiter, but while i was messing around with him after the paint dried off he just crumbled to bits 86 movie style. what’s weird is i did the same paint to my ER Optimus, with more paint that i did with starscream, and he’s still fine

Finally finished my Hefter figure from the IDW comics

Hello everyone!
Today I come to you with my 3d printed figure of Hefter from the IDW comics, a really cool design that due to his complete lack of importance(dude has at most 2 pages of appearance in the comic) would never get made into a figure. As such I decided to take it upon myself to make it into reality, and I think I succeeded, hopefully you guys think so as well.

If you want to see the figure's showcase you can check it out on my YT channel here:

For those that have been following my updates, I posted a good while ago about the WIP of this project and ended up taking longer than expected to actually finish it up and release the files cause life just decided I wouldn't have any free weekend for the entire last month.

Custom Onyx Prime

I used the idw coloration as inspiration for this. How ever I decided to blend both the idw and the toy colors together to make him fit into my 13 primes a bit better as all money so far have some kind of metallic paint on them. So for now hers my Onyx prime!!

Inspired by the conehead designs from @/subakeye on Instagram (art in 3rd slide) as well as Armada Thrust !

Made from a SS BBM Thrust, the legs of a HG IBO Graze Ein, and the mask of a 30MM Option Armor for High Mobility.

My cousin gave me the Legacy Cliffjumper mold and I liked it so much I decided to buy a second one to turn into Terrorcon Cliffjumper.

After about a weeks worth of work, I finally finished this guy. I'm genuinely shocked at how well the glow in the dark paint worked with him. This has become one of my favorite customs I've made to date.

I finally finished Zeta Prime! I based the concept off of his IDW appearance, decided I’m gonna give him an axe like he had in TFOne as well! For thsi office I used Metal Hawk’s body with Ferak’s legs and a Nova Prime head upgrade, before picture at the end. Next up are Logos Prime and Nominus Prime!

Custom Pretender Vroom!

not gonna lie my focus is Bot-mode…
but since the OG altmode was garbage
I’d see mine is acceptable-trash!

I don’t own any OG parts
so I gotta wait for them to get printed
I temporarily cheated with some Lego wheels

How do I make the turquoise color on Nemesis Leo?

I want to turn my Nemesis Leo Prime into Dark Amber Leo Prime, but I have no idea how to make that blue-green color he has, and I suck at color theory and that kind of stuff, so I figured i should ask here.

Custom Animated Sunstorm and Thundercracker

Hey everyone. I'm back with a couple of new animated seekers, Sunstorm(the suck up) and Thundercracker(the ego maniac)! They are made from the legacy jhiaxus mold with some added 3d printed wings, null rays, and shin guards. I also made another Starscream with the same kind of shoulders.

Does anyone know how to completely disassemble the head for this Optimus KO?

I want to buy this animated Optimus KO so I can repaint him into TFA shattered glass optimus, I already have the normal version of this mould from Baiwei and idk how to take the head apart without breaking anything, everything else looks easy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My take on the DJD

Recently got my hands on a Lugnut missing some pieces and a Clobber without the main so I decided to have some fun and custom build some parts for them. (Glad I could finally do something with the odd dish core Soundwave came with)
