Transformers collector and custom painter at Shins of the Wreckers customs
Hyperdrive is now in the hands of Toy-Fu awaiting the results of the auction, had to credit ourselves at Shins if the Wreckers somewhere so the screen inside seemed perfect. Thanks to @thunderclashcomics.bsky.social. it has been a blast painting and being custodian until @tfnationltd.bsky.social
I thought that until I had them in hand, Airazor, Cheetor, Tigatron and Rhinox all look better than their Kingdom originals, Rattrap is still near the same since there's so little to change. Airazor in particular is beautiful with Tigatron not yellowing a bonus
Sure is, didn't know about the card backdrop inside either which was a wonderful surprise
The Doncaster Toy fair haul from Sunday, more than I wanted to spend this close to TFNation but when the prices are right...
I had designed as a single page calendar initially but never worked out the best way to get printed in this manner, you can look forward to seeing a page pop up every month, July is my favourite. Also able to provide PDF of either version for home printing
Never intended to get this printed but it is nice to have a physical copy of something I designed (designed digital version first that is set out differently) Criteria I set was that absolutely none of the "sexy" poses should be carried out using fembots
That will do, very happy to finally have a Blue Bacchus on my shelf (I refuse to pay £800 for a Pretender Shell) the Lego hose I bought to cut for it really finished the look, don't like sacrificing Lego for customs but in this case I am more than happy
Might just be my preference from having the original as a child but I do think it a glow up
Well, get out of this one Smeghead, Waterstones have got Red Dwarf Titan on their shelves early, mixed feelings, elation at new Red Dwarf, depression that it could be the last ever (and is the last from the late Rob Grant) No spoilers from me. Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for Breakfast
I just hope that when Hyperdrive goes off to his new home I won't feel there's a gap. Turbomasters are some of the best G1 toys and they came right at the end
Repainted from a Star Convoy with an additional 3D printed part to emulate some turbo cannons, Hyperdrive might be the most intense custom I have ever made. Thanks to @thunderclashcomics.bsky.social Hyperdrive will be part of the Toy-Fu Silent auction at @tfnationltd.bsky.social
Reminder for all UK peeps, stay hydrated and if you haven't had a drink in the last hour, you should. Fulcrum thinks we're disgusting for it but what does he know
That was a busy afternoon. Nit put screws and pins back yet but happy overall
One wing anf gun printed (printed 2 of the same wing accidentally) good enough for the shelf now until I get the other wing and stickers sorted. Really happy to have an actual Galaxy Shuttle
Brass is such a fiddly thing to deal with at this scale, glad to have fitted them now Percy just needs glazing, pipes and coupling, varnishing and couplings...
Doncaster toyfair had some good treasures for me yesterday, did well and was just over 100 (budget was originally 50 but oh well)
Working on a project for the TFNation charity auction and it's got me going all Hattori Hanzo
Far worse ways to spend a day than at The Midland Railway, ride behind a Jinty, short walk to see the Princess and Duchess and go and see the Tugs props
That was exciting, first time encountering a god pack on Pokemon TCG pocket
Previous display space unavailable means Starbug has userped my Lego Deloreans and Ecto One, means I can see it every day though
Done and up for grabs . Still available £40 tfn mini pickup or £45 posted in the UK. Cheap as made from a ko streetwise and some cw prowl parts Nemesispringer had left over.
