Here is my latest work, and what i personally consider some of my best work to date. Not often am i 100% pleased with how something turns out once im done with it, but this little guy is the exception.
I LOVE how this fella turned out, and i am so sad that i need to let him go now as this was a commission.
The commissioner wanted a gold concept BB to go with his gold Lawson exclusive Japanese Gold classic BB. He is also a detail nut like me so every little detail that the actual Camaro had in the movie is on this toy.
How i did it: I took the toy completely apart, i think this is best to get the most details and even paint job possible. Getting paint into every nook and cranny to make the plastic look like it was molded in that color is an important detail to me.
Alt mode sections were painted with cellulose automotive paint, finished with a coat of two-pack lacquer to protect the already tough chip proof paint further as well as add extra shine.
Non silver robot mode parts were painted with the same paint minus the lacquer to prevent too much shine being visible whilst in bot mode.
The dry brushing was done with different shades of acrylic and enamel paints. All coated in a semi-clear coat of "smoke" colored clear coat to add an oily, worn and dirty metal look.
After everything was put back together again and transformed into car mode i polished the bodywork with t-cut automotive polish and wax to give an extra shine. The bodywork is so shiny you can run your finger over it and not feel any friction (in the car customizing world this is how you tell when your paint's finish is at its best), the bodywork reflects the environment around it, just like a real custom painted car should!
All in all this was a very fun project to work on and i hope you enjoy it as much as i enjoyed working on it.
Thanks!

Fuck you cunt. Since when did you challenge me? And why would i want to accept such a challenge from a lowly pile of scum like you? I wouldnt piss on you if you was on fire so why would i bother working with you?
Yeah right fan mail from siebertron thats why you re-joined after getting banned under a different user name just to get banned AGAIN! Seriously get a fucking life you worthless sack of shit!
I ain't jealous of scumbags like you if i was id kill myself.
Oh and since you have no taste this gold BB is a masterpiece which has got NOTHING BUT GOOD FEEDBACK from everyone who has commented about it. So obviously you are wrong and just being spiteful.
You can take your challenge and shove it up your ass if theres any room left after shoving your own head up there for so long.
Fuck off and die you cunt.
And if you even so much as use my pictures in your blogger as comparison shots without my permission i will open up a copyright violation suit on your ass so fucking quickly you wont know what hit you, and the entire TF community will be notified that you did it.
So do it, i fucking dare ya!
Just stop stalking me, re-joining sites you've been banned from to keep on stalking me and causing trouble and getting banned again and don't ever respond or even read anything i ever type on those forums again and we'll both be happy. Fuck off and get on with your own pathetic and miserable life and leave me alone!
you are truly an idiot.
first off, you deny my challenge because you know I will destroy you in any competition. the invitation still stands. you chicken shit.
secondly, you sound like an idiot when threatening me with an 'internet lawsuit' - obviously you have no idea how the world works.
third, I have commissions still coming from seibertron, and just for fun, here's part of an email from a mod there:
"...I know where you're coming from, (I) We've gotten many complaints about him and his antics. He's always crying because he must consider himself as the underdog. We are dying for a reason to ban him and end his posting here"
so in conclusion: HERE'S THE FORMAL CHALLENGE. stop being a pussy and making excuses - accept the challenge and everyone can see who's better ;P
ps: I'm still on seibertron daily. Their idiotic mods can only stop my usernames...1 at a time.
and leave my blogger alone, it's a professional site, compared to this hunk of shit.
