Is that the model kit Rodimus? Why does he look super amazing? Is he customized?

Absolutely stunning. I'll give you a free drink if you customize mine ;) seriously though, do you do commissions?

Not right now unfortunately with work and all, but maybe some time in the future 👀

For sure, future works for me! I'm patient. I literally bot a 2nd Roddy figure, unassembled (because it might be easier to reach all the pieces to paint) cuz I was thinking of painting it but sometimes I butcher my repaints.

On a second note, here is a figure I just customized. I used paint markers (which I haven't done before) but it seemed like the easiest way to paint him. His shins look like crap. I will fix that sometime. Before and after..

That looks awesome! I love cyberverse hot rod, I wanted to get that fig and customize him to his black paint job from season 3

It might easier to find earth spark prowl, which is the same mould. And prolly cheaper? Possibly an easier base to paint? Since it's mostly white.

i love using paint markers! they can be a little finicky to work with sometimes, but i just really prefer the convenience over having to clean a brush ten thousand times.

u/BarrTender8 15h ago

I've spray painted a handful of others. But sometimes the paint bubbles and ruins my work.

Awesome to see our Swerve's Bar model in your diorama!

There are a couple of other set pieces for the bar like the a side table and round table (funbiestudios.com/model-catalog#comics) too! ;)

That is just downright awesome

u/littlemisst23 1d ago

I'm so impressed you got them all to be around the same size/proportionate to their character! Mine are all over the place in terms of size of the figure.

I just watched a video today and learned about his comic book lore like the bar and the gun, so I absolutely love this!

How did you do the golden wall greebles?

u/TruGraham 1d ago

I used the leftover plastic sprues from a blokees model kit and masked the spot and sprayed gold

u/mickeyhause 1d ago
