Side-Tracked: Recent Haul of TF (210) - Takara Legends LG-61 Clonetron Set : Decepticons Clones Pounce and Wingspan

Finally found 1 in Taobao that will be slightly lesser priced ( which is quite rare ) than local seller... Very happy to get this set as I have not been able to find the KO of the G1 counterpart, and the legit G1 ones are quite expensive... So when I learnt that TT is releasing these as a set, I thought of buying 1 for collection... but was not able to do so due to pricing and such, until now... very happy... Can't remember the exact price, but should be less than SGD44...



Beast mode are quite nice, though the bird/eagle/whatever does not look like the G1 bird. It looks more realistic though... The cat/jaguar/tiger/whatever looks good though...


I had to tighten up 3 out of the 4 knee joints for these 2 figures which I felt was too loose... but now 1 of them seem to be a teeny bit too tight, hahahaha... but ok, am already very happy...


Robot height comparison with my KO Autobot Clone... not sure if the KO Autobot Clone is oversized or not... Finally completed both Autobot and Decepticon clone sets (regardless of versions) !!!!

Homemade Infinity Gauntlet

My 4th time playing around making stuff with EVA foam but first time painting it... Wanted to make it entirely of EVA foam. but later had to use a cheap welding glove to act as the fingers' structure... Used black colour glass paint to paint as base colour but prove to be a bad choice as the paint is sticky and sticks to each other especially at the fingers and thumb part even when dry. Luckily the acrylic gold paint saves the day when applied... The gems comes with a silver coating that I had to scrape off to allow the SMD LEDs to shine the light through... Not a very good piece but am already very happy, considering this is my birthday present made for myself, hahahahaha...


Edit: Added a little bit of black highlights and panel lines to be able to see the details better a few months ago...


Also painted the brown gloves part to gold...
