Movie Transformers OPTIMUS PRIME PROTOFORM

This is a hand-painted custom of the Transformers Movie Deluxe Optimus Prime in Protoform action figure by pairadocs of pairadocs design lab. This figure was a bit boring in its original form, but I saw a lot of potential in it, as it was really poseable and well sculpted. I started by filling in all of the gaps and holes where the screws from the toy were visible, sculpting and sanding them to make the figure as seamless as possible. Then I gave him a metallic black base coat, and drybrushed a nice oily steel color to bring out his details and give him more of a metallic feel, and went back and added silver highlights. Then, the whole thing was given a custom metallic light blue overbrush... giving him his organic blue metallic look (albeit subtle.) Then I went in and added in all the little details. He can still be transformed too - but I don't know why you'd want to... the "comet" form is pretty dull... he really shines in his robot fighting form!! SO poseable, so cool...
This is made for the collector in mind... while it can still be posed and transformed, it is not meant for your heavy playing. Great for the Transformers collector looking for a "show piece."
Feel free to ask me any questions, etc. Keep watch - I will have more customs listed in the upcoming weeks!

Koenigsegg : "space" in the doldrums
by shadowfax (08/17/2007 - 08:22)

Producer sportkarov Koenigsegg soon be a thing of the era. The Swedish company has suffered serious losses, it has owed its creditors 240,000 euros. Apparently, the use of space technologies in the construction of commercial vehicles was not profitable. To deny the unique Koenigsegg cars would be foolish, but not everyone is able and willing to purchase the "missiles" at least worth 458,000 euros.
Koenigsegg now in search of new investors to pay off its debts. A case can start a company much better. In 1993, the ambitious designer and businessman Christian von Kenigsegg decided to realize their dream-a perfect Bolide. Two years later, he and his team have succeeded. Pilot car had its designers not only success, and money to build Koenigsegg Automotive Ltd.
During its existence, the Swedish manufacturer managed to collect all three models - CC8S, CCR and CCX, but what! For example, the CCR has a capacity of 806 horsepower. This figure was even entered in the Guinness Book of Records as a "most powerful vehicle for public roads." Wales Maximum speed is 395 km / h. Not surprisingly, because when building materials, built by the Space Technology.
We hope that Koenigsegg still stands on its own feet, and all their dreams.
