Henkei Astrotrain (Now on eBay!!!)

Reviewed by Action Figure Customs

Finally! I'm almost at the end of my Henkei line with number 8, Astrotrain. Well almost. Just a few more to go and I'm calling it a day for Henkei! Astrotrain's a tricky fella being the first triple changer that I've worked with. His white stripes was painstakingly taped and airbrushed on. His glossy grey was achieved through a very light shade of highly diluted black. Also, don't miss a chance to own this highly unique custom as I will not be returning to the Henkei line once it has run its course. In case you're wondering, that SOMETHING BIG is still in the works! May be delayed a little though but on the way nonetheless!

Also, do keep a lookout for my next run of customs with the MP line starting with either MP-04 or MP-08!

Alternity Optimus Prime (Now on eBay!!!)
Reviewed by Action Figure Customs!!!

Ok. I'm taking a quick detour from my Henkei series. Just a quick one though. Introducing Alternity Optimus Prime. As a basic step, I sanded and trimmed tight joints and clips within the Alternity as much as possible. You'll be surprised to know how many black bumps the original toy had all over his red surface in car mode.

He was primed with a mixture of plastic and metal primer due to the dual materials found in him. Alternity Optimus Prime was painted using a mix of Tamiya, Hobby, Humbrol, Alclad and SpazStix acrylics, lacquers and enamel paints. He was given a deep shade of my favourite metallic red. His hands were modded with a Gundam's 1/100 fists. I included a Sword Strike Gundam' Schwert Gewehr sword and Gundam Double X's Shield customized to emulate an Energon Sword and Shield. What better way to prepare him for a duel with Alternity Fairlady Megatron??!

He was finished with a UV glossed clear coat as well as wax for a smoother finish that will last you the years to come.

Henkei Hound (Now on ebay!!!)
Reviewed by Action Figure Customs!

The sixth installment of my Henkei series. Hound. Hound was painted using a mix of acrylics and enamel paints. He was given a deep shade of metallic green accurate to his G1 roots. I even added the stripes of yellow along his jeep which was missing in the classics/universe line. Shaded and detailed for a more realistic outlook. His hands were modded with a Gundam's 1/100 fists. He was UV glossed protected for a smoother finish that will last you the years to come. Also, I do realize that not all will share my love for metallics. If you happen to be one of them (and win this auction), I can easily change Hound's finish to a matt outlook.
