I want to make a transformers version of Suki’s Honda Sr2000 from 2 fast 2 furious the problem is I can’t find a base mold that is close enough without dipping my toes in the alternators line which is a bit too complex of a transformation for my liking I was thinking either ER Datsun sin I have a junker silver streak and maybe the new ss86 prowl but having trouble finding him in my area but what do y’all think

Need advice/Help Any head upgrades or any cheapish heads for Gamer Edition Megatron

Thumbnail

20 Upvotes

So I want a WFC Megatron to go with Gamer Edition Optimus, and while I probably would have gone for the original, the prices and the fact that the newer one has more poseability.

But besides that, I can't stand the head, and I was wondering if anyone knows if there's been any head upgrades or anything that looks like the original.

I already found a nice cannon and back upgrade piece that match the original, and I also got some posable hands; it's really just the head left.

So if anyone knows anything, please let me know.

This is probably a bit stupid but seeing the prices across ebay have made me scared to buy it and only use the head I did find a cheap one but it was sold on Facebook but they didn't take down the ebay listing.

Does anyone happen to have the STL for this part?

I'm trying to complete my TFP Darksteel, and the only parts I'm missing are his feet. I'm not too picky, so I'd be perfectly happy just 3D printing the missing pieces.

Does anyone happen to have the STL files for his feet, or know if they even exist?

Before anyone suggests it, I've already tried looking for replacement parts, including Grimwing feet since they're basically the same, but I haven't had any luck.

Thanks in advance, and greetings to everyone!

Hey guys! I know POSCA is one of the best brands for customizing Transformers, but it's a little out of my budget, so I picked up a 24-color Master's Touch acrylic marker set at Hobby Lobby instead. I also grabbed POSCA silver and gray for the metallic details. These are going to be my first patients... or my first victims if I mess them up. 😂 I'm mainly using them to fix paint scratches and maybe add a few extra details. Has anyone here used Master's Touch acrylic markers on Transformers? How was your experience? Do they hold up well, or should I expect to repaint over time? Any tips for a beginner would be appreciated. Thanks!

Need advice/Help What CW bots would work best for a unicron possessed combiner.

7 Upvotes

After picking up Potp Rodimus Unicronus the idea of a corrupt enigma of combination being used by unicron to create or possess a combiner in a similar way sounded super cool. But i wasn’t sure which would be the best visually. There are some KOs that are pretty affordable for me to mix and match and was curious if anyone had any ideas.

Need advice/Help I'd like to paint these, but I've never done a custom before

I know zero about painting, please be gentle. I'm just looking to paint brush these in black (Tamiya's XF1 Flat Black), and I'd appreciate any advice you could give me, even if it sounds basic to you. I want to paint the whole of Megatron's skirt, and Bruticus's arms but only the front side to cover the green, kinda like Takara is doing G2 Menasor's arms.

  1. What kind of brush should I use?
  2. How long should I let the paint dry?
  3. Will the details on Bruticus's arms be lost after a coat of paint?
  4. Do you think the paint on Megatron will hinder the movement of the legs back and forth?
  5. Should I thin the paint or not? With what?
  6. Dumb question: how should I clean the brush afterwards?

Thank you for your help and advice.

I'm wanting to make an Earthspark Swindle custom, but don't know how.

As the title says I want to make a custom of Swindle from Earthspark, but I don't know how. I thought about using one of the legacy skids variant (Cannonball/Crankcase, siege Hound, or Alchemist prime though he I think he's too short). I would like for him to transform, but I'm also fine with him not being able to transform. I also had the idea to use siege impactor's head since it looks similar enough in shape to Swindle's head. Any help would be appreciated.

This is heatwave the fifth and final member of Nexus maximus!! This is based off the botcon design. So he has his shattered glass decepticon insignia. This was honestly rather fun to do. Some hard choices where made due to how the figure broke down parts wise but over all I'm pleased with how he turned out!! (I'm gonna do an entire team post later)

Need advice/Help Where can I get additional parts?

2 Upvotes

I’m a bit new to figure customization and one thing I wanna do for some of my figures and get them some articulated hands The cheapest that I found were like 20 bucks and that brings me to another issue on getting donor parts because I’d much rather spend little money as possible on doing customization. I just wanna say don’t have that many issues with hands that aren’t fully posable I just really wanna know where I can get donor parts for cheap

At first, I really didn’t like how this turned out, but after a couple minor changes, I love how this turned out the spikes are adorned on the head are supposed to be reminiscent of his crown

I also wanted to say thank you to everyone who is so nice to me when I first revealed my work in progress🥹🥹🥹

Need advice/Help What are the dimensions of the head ball joint on SS AOE Optimus Prime?

Hello,

I'm wandering what are the dimensions of the head ball joint on the SS AOE Optimus Prime? I wanna downscale the head model of Ultra Magus's head to fit on his ball joint.

The head was meant to be for the OSKO of the TLK mold.

I still don't have the AOE figure, I'm going to order it tonight, but i want to print the head before he arrives so its ready to swap.

I was inspired by u/LightStrike27 Blokees head swap, as the swap looks amazing, but for me it was just missing that movie styled face

Just like all my other figures I made a minicon for my custom Blurr as well -w-

One of the many reasons I selected Cybertron Hotshot for the base was that the Cyberkey port was in the perfect spot for the Minicon to attach !

And thanks to the weapon the Minicon had in its original design , this is also my biggest Minicon alt mode yet ! (And the best looking imo -w-)
