Also used an old KO Kabaya Brainmaster for Road Caesar to form up the exposed engine... Again, the reliable hot glue is used for joining... Silver paint pen is used, however, the plastic tubes and engine are not taking the paint well due to the nature of the "oily" plastic... Looks pretty good, but I think more can be done...
So, I used some images of the G1 toy on the internet to print out stickers for the robot chest and the car bonnet, since they are different pieces unlike the G1 toy... I stretch the height and width separately, hence you may find the Autobot insignia weird if you look closely, hahahaha... Unnecessary silver parts are covered with car-touch-up-paint and other details painted with silver paint pen, on the head and shoulders of the robot mode... Yeah, the exhaust pipes on the legs look a bit too long... anyway, not intending to trim them anymore, enough of the work...
Now my KO CW Hot Rod has weapons (arm-laser guns) !!! Hahahahaha....
No parts-forming when transforming. Car mode looks quite good too...
The "gun" from the yellow spoiler does not look good, but because of my obsession to have zero parts-forming, it has to be there... sigh... anyway....
Again, the exhaust pipes look a bit too long (sorry for the nagging)...
Loving this!!!!! (ok, no more "hahahahaha".... =) )
And finally a clip to show the transformation...
Can't wait for next weekend to come so that I can do the "face mask" for the KO Oversized Generations Starscream to hide his face in jet mode...
you may have discussed this already, but stumbling on to your blog opened up a whole new world to me, so forgive the noob question but: how do you shop from taobao? do you use an agent?
ReplyDeleteyou may have discussed this already, but stumbling on to your blog opened up a whole new world to me, so forgive the noob question but: how do you shop from taobao? do you use an agent?
ReplyDeleteFor me I use a taobao agent, since from the beginning of my Taobao shopping, as in the earlier days, Taobao is still very much the localized market (unlike now it has expanded and improved). Benefits of agent will be like negotiating with seller, checking the product b4 shipping to S'pore, and after sales stuff etc (suits my lazy personality, heehee...). But the negative is having to pay agent fee. I also have a colleague who does the same method as Lexxi Chen, and he had experience a few times when he felt the shipping fee is much lower than agents' and overall time for product to arrive can be slightly shorter . So I guess it is really up to you, hope this help! (and thanks Lexxi for sharing your way of purchasing, thanks! =) )
DeleteDo you know where, if any, there are combiner wars KO?
ReplyDeleteI found some Aerialbots and a green g1 megatron (Not armada Megatron, G1 'Buckethead' Megatron in green)
And i'd like to find a torso for the six aerial bot limbs.
I remember vaguely about an oversized KO CW Hot Spot, but not much. You may want to search in Sirtoys.com or just google "oversized KO CW Hot Spot" to find out more on it. I believe there may be also some oversized KO CW car bots, but again, cannot really remember. Hope this helps. =)
DeleteDo you do commitions? I would be interested in the flame stickers
ReplyDeleteNo I don't, its just a hobby for me.
