Thanks for the kind words Matt Yea, the base came out beautifully

That is just f'n awesome, what a fantastic addition to the collection

Thanks Jay...how about some quickj tips on taking some decent pictures? Is photoshopping the only way to get that black background that you see on those classic pics of yours?

Chroming looks insane man!!

Don't collect statues myself but can always appreciate when a piece undeniably rocks

Appreciate that Frank...so is there a chance you'll be buying your first Premium Format yet?

Hey CBG thanks buddy yea, Meg's is gonna look great next to Prime!

Talking of which, your gonna love my next update...it's the G1 Optimus Prime Repaint!!

Best paint ever on any statue! The base is just as well done as the chrome! Must have costs a fortune to get it this good. Congrats!

Glad you like the SS buddy....thanks again for the great comments

SPECTACULAR! Who made this statue, buddy? Love the eyeliner -- artists and sculptures of late tend to omit that distinct feature of Surfer it seems, so nice to see it done on this!

Hey Michael, this is the Sideshow Comiquette Surfer statue which I've had customer chromed thanks for the kind words my friend

Silver Surfer is looking pretty badass, Andy, Congrats!

Thanks so much Mark much appreciated buddy

I sold my Surfer years ago, seeing these pics makes me wish i'd kept. Really stunning statue now and the base is fantastic.

Thanks buddy...Silver Surfers still turn up on eBay quite regularly so never say never

That looks amazing. Great job customizing.

Thanks Angelica

That is a very nice job on the silver surfer. I am often tempted by the piece and this may swing me towards buying it. Presume the company that did this are UK based?

Hey Daryl, no this was a company in the States mate...I know someone who has done a similar chrome job here in the UK but were unable to do the cosmic trail

The surfer looks awesome! Congrats on an excellent execution. I passed on this statue because the original paint job was meh and as you have said, the Surfer must be chrome!

RobertoBagg10's Display Thread *COMING SOON* REPAINTED 1/2 SCALE G1 OPTIMUS P...

Another Friday update guys and one that I've been excited to show you. Some of you may remember, back in December of last year I received my gigantic G1 Optimus Prime 1/12 statue which I was so happy to add to my collection due to being a huge Transformers G1 fan from back in the day when I used to watch the cartoons religiously as a young kid not a vast amount of G1 statues have been made up to now...only ones I can think of are the Hard Hero ones but they were relatively small and the majority of them were busts anyway. So when I heard about this custom piece I was over the moon and was so happy to have got the chance to get number 15 of 30 made. If it wasn't for my custom Iron Man MKI 1:2 scale, this G1 Optimus Prime would have won my statue of the year 2013! Here is the link to my review and pics of when it first arrived to refresh your memories

https://www.sideshowcollectors.com/...-REPAINTED-1-2-SCALE-G1-OPTIMUS-PRIME/page342

So I think I'd mentioned back then that there were a few parts of the statue that could have been painted better plus as with various pieces in my collection, I do like to add a few touches of my own and with my Prime I really wanted it to look more animated, just like I remembered him from the cartoons After having this in my collection for a few months I started to carefully plan out all the parts I'd like to change and once I had done so, I knew it was a job too big for me to take on not to mention how time consuming it would be so once again I sent all my specs and design ideas to my good friend and artist who does most of my repaints and he gladly accepted the challenge. So what did I have changed from the original...here is a breakdown:

* I wanted mine to have a more clean version to the body work whilst adding weathering to the feet and arms so that it blends in well with the ash-grey base
* To make the colours more vibrant and less metallic just as I remember from the cartoons, which meant everything had to get a fresh coat of paint
* Bulk out the knee area as I wasn't a huge fan of the spring knees-joints which you can see on the original as this made the leg area appear too skinny for a robot of this size
* Repaint the 22inch Plasma Gun to make it more black and glossy. The original was way too bland in colour
* Change the Autobot logo on Prime's left arm from all silver to the more accurate red with silver trimming
* Finally, and my most favourite part (cos I did this mod myself) was to customise some G1 style windows. To be honest, when I was experimenting the colours for the windows, I was literally doing it as a trial and error process but my first attempt came out so well that I decided to go with it and thus creating those animated G1 style windows - which in my opinion is such an improvement over the original and really brings out that sense of animation

So here he is guys...my new look custom 1/12 scale G1 Optimus Prime

and just for your Steve (Darkavatar) a comparison pic to show you the before and after changes...

and a few different fun style pics to show how cool the new colours are

All in all, I am so pleased to have finally completed this project. The statue now looks just how I always wanted it to look and I feel I have a piece of my childhood staring back at me whenever I glance at it...however, as the base was too big to ship to my friend, the job of adding some rustic weathering to the metal debris scattered around will have to taken on by me when I get some free time but its not a huge job and shouldn't take me too long. Which leads me nicely to my next arrival which is now arriving a little sooner than expected. The G1 Megatron yep, some of you may have seen this piece already on my thread or on facebook but its soon to be shipped. Here is a pic

Mine will have a few changes made to it, for example, mine will not include the orange coloured base as I felt it wouldn't match up well with my Prime when on display so the base will now have the same colour scheme as my Prime base. Mine will also be the exclusive version which will have the torn off battle damaged Bumblebee Head which is placed in Megatrons left hand plus what you cant see very well from that pic is that Megatron is standing on the battle damaged torso of the familiar autobot Ironhide which looks super cool! I'm still unsure as to whether to get Megatron repainted when he arrives as I still feel he should be a more grey colour from the cartoons as opposed to a silvery colour so that will also be another option once I have him inhand. Thanks again guys for looking, always a pleasure reading your amazing comments and feedback. Loads more updates to come such as my repainted Sideshow Iron Man MKVI 1:2 scale bust (CLEAN REPAINT), repainted Sideshow Hulk PF Base, Custom 3rd Battle Damaged Headsculpt for my 1/4 Predator Statue and my Jim Lee style Batman PF custom Headsculpt....all to come next week...thanks for looking guys

looks like it's come straight out of the cartoon andy.much better.it originally looked kinda old and used/abused by a previous owner if you follow(although it was new)..this will sit much better in the collection.look forward to seeing the new stuff.
