This is purely hypothetical: If I were to commission you to paint a DotM Leader Sentinel Prime and simply give it a truer, more vibrant red (as opposed to the dull, pinkish color Hasbro gave him), how much would you charge? There would be no washes or metallic scuff marks, or any realistic embellishments like that - just a repaint of the red parts. I know it's not a simple job. I'm a toy customizer too, just not nearly as good as you.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the late reply. I'm not sure how much but it sounds like you may want a customizer that uses air brushes. for that vibrant look. I don't air brush.

Love your work!
I do some custom repaints myself every now and then and I have encountered a tiny problem, which I require a bit of advice:
The paint(I use acrylics and enamels) often scrapes off at the TF figure's joints, and at every other area where there is possible friction between two parts. I've tried priming and coating them before, but it doesn't seem to work very well as it continues to be a major problem. I don't fiddle with them much, but as soon as I pose them for a photo, the paint scrapes off.

I'm sure most TF customisers have experienced this problem before, and I was wondering what's your advice to countering this?

Thanks! :D (Big Grin)

You have to sand the joints down. Make sure that you also clean the figure withe soap and water before you paint too.

Don't the eyes on the TakaraTomy version of MP-10 Masterpiece Optimus Prime look dead?

Solrac333 In reply to SupremeLeaderOptimus [2013-06-22 19:52:47 +0000 UTC]

So? Everything else about the figure looks better.

SupremeLeaderOptimus In reply to Solrac333 [2013-06-22 22:11:30 +0000 UTC]

The reds and blues on the TakaraTomy version look too dark for my tastes. Besides, I didn't think the figure was worth TakaraTomy's asking price. That's why I waited for the Hasbro version to be released and I think everything about the Hasbro version looks better than the TakaraTomy version.

It's cool. I wish I had the Takara version instead though.

SupremeLeaderOptimus In reply to Solrac333 [2013-06-19 21:15:03 +0000 UTC]

I prefer the Hasbro version over the TakaraTomy version because the eyes on the Hasbro version are painted whereas on the TakaraTomy version the eyes are this translucent plastic used for light piping even though its not designed for light piping and it makes the eyes on the TakaraTomy version look dead. Also, the colors on the Hasbro version are vibrant which is another thing that makes the Hasbro version look alive besides the eyes being painted a bright blue.

Light piping is overrated.

SupremeLeaderOptimus In reply to Solrac333 [2013-06-19 23:45:55 +0000 UTC]

That's why I prefer the painted eyes for masterpiece and leader class figures and light piping for deluxe and voyager class figures.
