Guns and swords need to be finished and he needs some slight work but Sword Storm is nearly complete.

My hotrod/rodimus custom {new, Early modding}

{Gaps in vehicle mode need filling}

*********************

Dark future 'Valnir' {Head and vehicle mode need work}
Image

Of the others present in the list of things I bought. Alt battle ravage {no gun or head} will get a new head and become dark future 'Burnout'. Cybertron sonic bomber? {I only know his galaxy force name} will get modded and repainted into Skyquake so he can stand next to my custom stalker.

Vehicle mode pics of Sword Storm:-

Camera was having a fit but you can mostly see what I did to alter the figure. {the rear spoiler was removed, the engine block was trimmed, cut in two and then glued in place. The front of the car has just had a new green stuff part added.}

On another note here is a glimpse of the chaos of my working area for my customs:-
Image

and an update on my custom skyquake:-

Do you airbrush or free hand paint?

How do you keep the paint from scrapping off during transformation?

mostly free hand. I then use a paint sealant {most commonly model varnish} to prevent paint scraping off during handling/transformation. [Although the design of some joints will always result in paint scraping.]

When I used to do gundam models I used to have to sand down the back side of some pieces so the joints wouldn't scrap off the paint. But thats really tricky, I never did perfect it. So even at the end I was getting a few loose joints.

A few of you may remember my Brawlicus custom {A bruticus made up from the many different recolors of the brawl mold.}

Well as I now have what I need to proceed into the projects next phase {A set of spare ruination fists and combiner squares from the junker motormaster I got today}

Hence the fist modded fist:-
Image

And why would I do this crazy thing you ask?

the answer is simple. I give you the 'test shot' of my Brawlicus mega cannon:-
Image

(He will have one of these for each hand. [both of which having been modified], each individual brawl will also have his dual cannon as well, so the combined robot as you can imagine will be bristling with artillery :D )

I would LOVE details! Most importantly:

How do you find time to hold down a respectable, well paying job (which I know you do!) AND find your excellent TF buys AND make these excellent customs? Eh?

Oh, and my own personal custom update:

I have purchased a complete Fort Max. Thus, my dream custom project can now begin in earnest, as soon as it arrives. I'm fairly certain I have all the required parts... though I'm still debating whether I should *really* taint genuine transformers with the presence of a Power Ranger Zord.

Scar is now complete {he does not transform, but that is part of his bio anyway.}

the rest:-

{I need time to finish the combiner and the head for BZ. Which I don't have enough of at the moment. I need some paint for skyquake in order to proceed with him.}

Still waiting on the modeling putty? I can't wait to see him finished!

Also, bonecrusher looks better without those weird extendy forearms he never used in the movie anyway.
