Classics Dragstrip (version 3) with added set of front wheels (like g1 version) purple tinted cockpit, new head and lots of fun details. Final coated with a super glossy clear, wheels coated with a super matte clear.
Here's a commissioned Stunticon Deadend (part of a set)
I wanted to put a more modern spin on this Decepticon, with loads of details and articulation. Deadend started as a Generations Jazz figure with a new custom head, painted with a custom blend of metallic/dark red, I loaded him up with details and moved his signature yellow and white racing stripe a little off-center. Deadend forms the entire left arm of Menasor.
Generation 1 Sharkticon (Gnaw) was built and articulated by hater06 (Lenny) of procustomizers and painted by frenzryumble. He's got added articulation in the arms, elbows, hips, knees, head (ball joint) Sharkticon front arms and tail.
This is another overdue commission piece. I used the Voyager (smaller) Energon Megatron as a base, added custom articulated hands (with addt'l articulation at the wrists) and a custom cannon (oversized KO Universe Galvatron)
Classics Dragstrip (version 4) with added set of front wheels (like g1 version) new head and lots of fun details. Final coated with a super glossy clear, wheels coated with a super matte clear. Yes, he will eventually become the arm of Menasor

We started eating it, then Anna decided it had a funny face, and kept cutting slices to make more funny faces.
This commissioned Goldbug was painted primarily with House of Colors "gold" (which caused me some major problems with dry time) i debated the "gold" I would paint him for a while, but realized nothing would say "goldbug" more than actual metallic gold. No real modifications done to him, other than the custom head (guess who it is) Gloss coated with Alclad's aqua clear coat. Plate left blank for customer personalization.
Classic Sunstorm started as Starscream. The client wanted this set (3 of 3) to resemble the MP seekers I did in the past, yet with subtle changes to the effects.

This isn't the "gold bug" from the Edgar Allan Poe story, but it will do until the real thing comes along. I believe it's a Buprestid Beetle aka Metallic Wood-boring Beetle (Buprestidae, Coleoptera). It's probably a Spotted Flower Buprestid in the genus Acmaeodera, and just maybe species Acmaeodera hepburnii. There are many different kinds, so I'll leave it at that. This one is perched on an old stem of native Bird's Beak (Cordylanthus rigidus, Orobanchaceae). (San Marcos Pass, 11 May 2019)
The NWS forecast called for a 50% chance of rain today, but it was mostly sunny all morning. I figured that if rain was heads, then it was coming up tails. But then in the middle of the afternoon dark clouds built up, we had lots of thunder, I unplugged my computer, and it rained hard with big drops . . . for about ten minutes! There was just a few hundredths of an inch of rain, but it was a nice moment. Our next chance of rain comes on Thursday as our "troffy" month of May continues.
