not a miniature but a project nonetheless

What sane person would actually chop up a perfectly fine Animated Lockdown figure you ask!?

 

ME! (but most agree I am not all that sane )

 

This transformer is actually a little mod I did last week. The shoulder pads were carved to lie down straighter, the hands were carved so they extended fully. The decepticon symbols were scrapped off and I painted the chest a new shade of green and the forearms to match the package picture. I also painted the face to show more detail. All in all a good short project. I did screw up a bit on the windows though so they ended up kinda frosted, looks okay but I will make sure to tape them off next time. And yes he is still fully transformable and pose-able!

 

 

The next project I have on my bench is a Plain Model grade of Gurren Lagaan.

I would say you did a great job redoing this guy. While it's been AGES since I've looked at a transformer, I will certainly say it's a great project that you have undertaken.

Nice work, looks like the forearms could use another coat though.

 

Hasbro could redeco this figure forever and I would never get bored with it.  Good job.

Yeah. I have been unable to find a good red paint that covers well. I may try and pick up some tamiya paints and see what they do.

I like to undercoat larger sections with tamiya due to it's relative cheapness, and it's ability to cover most anything in a few coats.  Then move on to the better paints.

 

 

Man I miss Transformers Animated.
