Thank you very much.

I think I'm switching his hand held weapon, though. I really liked the sword I gave him, but found an ebven better match IMO:

An energon spear!

Nice paintjobs!
Tigertrack is my favorite out of them all. I think he turned out really well!

Thanks Minerva!

TT is my favorite as well; Blu and Sun had a a few issues I'll be aware of in the future, but TT had no such issues. I'm especially pleased with how clean his stripe's edge lines are. After looking around the net at some other TF customs, it appears some otherwise skilled customizers are really awful at painting stripes/straight lines.

working on a non-TF project. Here's a sneak-peek:

Looks like warhammer too me.

Waiting on parts to finish my other project (clue: He-man related), so I'm starting a little upgrade of Bludgeon:

Love the sword.

Where'd you get those sweet flags?

captainamerica · Post by **captainamerica** » Wed Mar 10, 2010 7:39 am

Thanks.

The gray gunbarrell tip really bugged me.

The flags came from a SD Gundam figure I forgot I had (Samurai on horse). They were originally white with the details you can still kind of see. I plan on painting the posts green and black circles over the top insignia then covering them with reprolabels decepticon insignia. I haven't decided if I'll use purple or white deceptisigns yet.

Then it's a four little holes in Bludgeon's turret (2 for bot mode, 2 for alt mode) to accomodate the flags.

Go with white. The Movie style characters don't tend toward the colored symbols.

then I will do the opposite

as Bludgeon resides with my Universe/classics and is the only movie related toy I have.

That's fine too, cus the design was previously intended to be released with Classics/Uni 2.0, but didn't make it. That's why we have the odd scenario where he supercedes the "movieverse" bludgeon released as TRU exclusive "masters of metallikato".

captainamerica · Post by **captainamerica** » Sat Mar 13, 2010 12:39 am

yep, he's part of my Classics collection for that very reason. Bludgeon also takes a lot of his overall style from Don Figueroa's designs for the Stormbringer story arc. That design made me accept the idea of sticking the flags in a visible position in alt mode.

Flags are coming along slowly. Waiting for them to dry right now before the next step. Started work on Bludgeon proper:

Wow - that looks very cool! Keep up the good work!

captainamerica · Post by **captainamerica** » Tue Apr 13, 2010 1:10 pm

Thanks Minerva.

I ended up with the white insignia, the purple kind of blended into the black circles. I also painted the dagger's handle.

Very nice work there Cap'n
