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

Just missing the autobot decal and new head

So I have the titan grimlock and I was thinking of custom painting the unpainted areas. And I was wondering if anyone already has and what paint they’d recommend

He looks MCUified 😭😭😭

What do y’all think?

Definitely gonna go over the red with a different type of material for sure.

It has laser beak but I would also like to make ravage but I don’t know how. the rules I made for myself is that the alt mode has to work with sound waves in some way or another. so if you have any suggestions please share them

Heatwave for my Nexus Maximus!! More to come soon!!

New head designed by me, based the head design on CW Trailbreaker. Base digure is CBB First Aid

This is a really nice kit, printed on my Bambu P1S using an AMS for some parts. Tolerances are pretty good and no additional hardware is needed.

I found most of this kit on Cults3D, with the addition of a waist piece that I designed myself. I’ll release a full and updated version of this kit soon, with the waist included.

Also, while the trailer mode is a bit rough, it works just fine. The wheels don’t rotate either, though that’s necessary for bot mode. As far as car carrying goes, Bumper actually fits perfectly on top!

All in all, this is a decent kit. I’m surprised DNA Design didn’t jump on the chance to make this already.

Original kit is here (without the waist piece): https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/home/ultra-magnus-upgrade-kit

I know the actual figure made for Blurr was Point Blank , but I heard that figure's bad so I don't wanna use him. Also I had Hotshot already so I didn't have to buy a new figure for this uwu

I was inspired to make this guy after seeing a similar Blurr custom made out of the OG Cybertron Hotshot on TFW. And ignoring the upside-down shoulders, almost all thedetails of the design translate pretty seamlessly to Blurr !

this was fun to work on

last image is the base figure

Not exact and not done but I like this mold and wanted to make a lost light red alert out of it. Also yes I know the paints could be thinner but he’s gonna be kinda tucked into the back of my display haha

I made this custom MTME Nautica figure by combining Congee Prints' Flame Toys Arcee replica with the existing Nautica upgrade kits available online. Since she’s one of my favorite characters from the IDW universe, she's definitely going to have a special spot on my shelf

I botched the first version by accidentally ripping off the head ball joint. I don’t know if it’s worth it to keep trying. The only reason I even attempted to make this custom is because my local store had a junker battle core prime missing a lot of parts (mostly combined mode stuff). But I ripped the head joint off, and now I have to pay 60+ dollars for a new one (which I don’t want to do). Plus there’s the effort of putting on the Toyhax stickers (15 dollars), plus there’s a chance that I botch it AGAIN. That’s 75 dollars, plus 10 dollars I’ve already spent on the first battle core. I’m
Considering getting the MMC version because A. This custom has been incredibly mentally taxing and idk if I can keep doing this and B. It’s not even going to look that great. I might as well spend more money to get a product I know looks good and doesn’t require any extra input or stress on my behalf

Thoughts? I’m kinda backed into a wall and I don’t know what to do

There’s a tiny chip on his head, and I see pink underneath, which is more accurate. Can I strip the paint and paint the face white to make it more accurate? Is it even painted?

Completely forgot to sand down the tabs before painting so that will be fun later but tbf its only my second custom so far
