3A TRANSFORMERS - DOTM: Optimus Prime Premium Scale Figure

[FACEBOX]

Maybe you took it the wrong way?
No hard feelings.

I was simply making a suggestion to maybe help you sell more items.
However, at $95.37 I can understand the price. I'm old-school and based my suggestion on the ol " silicon mold & resin mix" manufacturing process. I have used this method myself but I know nothing of Shapeways.
Sorry about overstepping and success on your endeavor. Like I said before; it's an outstanding product.

I re-read my post and I admit I'm a bit emotional on that.

So yeah, no hard feeling.

And thanks for your suggestion & compliment.

Thank you very much for your order! Hope you will be satisfied with your purchase, as much as I do. Do share some photos of your sample here if you may once you have received it.

Here's are the paints that I used:

1. Black acrylic spraypaint for basecoat (sorry, can't remember the brand but its just a regular household brand).
2. Drybrush with Vallejo acrylics (Gunmetal) and Tamiya acrylics (Silver).The surface of the print is a bit grainy, so its good for drybrush technique.
3. For detailing I used Vallejo acrylics (Copper), applied on where appropriate (tubes, rings, etc.)
4. For the rust effect - mix between Vallejo acrylics (Sepia+Goldbrown+Copper & Black). I used sponge technique, trading layers between these colors.
5. Lastly, I applied some inkwash by using Vallejo acrylics Sepia & Black.

I hope above explanation is sufficient. Just let me know if you need any further info. All the best!

I have one more question, I just received the gun from Shapeways, did you sand it before priming/painting it?

 

[annuar5379]

No, I just paint it directly. As I said before, it turns out that grainy surface is good for drybrush technique, creating a natural worn looked surface.

All the best!
