Title: My first tiny bit of Custom Work
Post by: PandoraFox on January 24, 2012, 04:41:59 AM: And when I say tiny I do mean tiny. >>
I'm very happy with the way it came out though, so I'm being silly and showing it.

I got myself a small transformer toy a little while back. He was one of the characters I was still looking for so I was delighted with my little Prowl. Though I was a tad disappointed that hasbro apparently sends all their Prowls out blind.

It's not a big complaint really, but I felt it was a shame they couldn't find a way to color his eyes at the factory, I suppose they're too small and placed to far back into his head, so I set down with a tiny brush and did it myself. It's a very small adjustment, and I didn't quite get it perfect, but he looks so much better now! (I'm not quite sure why the paint bleeding looks so bad in the mugshot actually... :blink: .... it's barely there in real life.)

His eyes look great much better than the blank eye approach ^_^

I wouldn't feel silly to show him off, you did an amazing job!

Legends class toys are wonderful sizes for such things aren't they? XD
