Classics "The Fallen" with changeable flames
Well, hello there. Thanks for stopping by. I've been buried with commissions, but had a chance for a few new projects to share...
Considering the excitement around the new film and the mainstream intro of The Fallen into TF lore, I decided to read The Dark Ages to get a good take on The Fallen as originally written. He's MUCH more effective and ominous, so I thought I'd present a version of The Fallen for the "Classics" line, based on his appearance in "The Dark Ages". Here he is given the "Classics" treatment, which means bringing the character up-to-date with a modern appearance. He was shown as being locked away in a room with a symbol by Primus long ago, but he's escaped his prison once again to wreak havoc in 2009!!! (recipe follows pics) http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1...Fallen/014.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1...Fallen/079.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1...Fallen/044.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1...Fallen/105.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1...Fallen/094.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1...Fallen/045.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1...Fallen/092.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1...Fallen/121.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1...Fallen/127.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1...Fallen/134.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1...Fallen/128.jpg The "Titanium" version was small and wimpy, the character was portrayed as very powerful, and I wanted at least a voyager scale figure. He's based off of Armada Megatron, who is quite large. I created the faceplate with apoxie-sculpt, then went to work on the flames with hot-glue. They are all fully removable and can turn in any direction you like. They attach on the mini-con ports, except for one, and it uses a tiny but strong rare earth magnet. The symbols on the shoulders were covered with square plastic pieces I harvested from some other toy. The "horns" were removed, and the gaps replaced with styrene. The head was removed, and I installed a ball joint for the neck so he can look in any direction. You can see the tiny flame effects coming from the eyes. I painted him black, then traced out all the inferno lines with silver, then translucent orange for that reflective, fiery look. I tried to get some photos in different lighting to illustrate just how reflective the fiery parts appear. I then went back and gave him some detail, such as mud, scuffing etc. He had this worn, stove-pipe look in The Dark Ages, and I think this mold captures that look with all the line work which suits the "inferno stove look" well. I wanted a beaten up, flat look. Thanks for looking, any and all comments, critiques, love and hate are encouraged! |
Nice, well done!
|
Excellent job, dude!
Maybe FunPub can run with this idea, assuming the mold is still available for them to use. |
Today's custom of the day.

Really cool!
You could make another one using the chinese bootleg by Happywell, it´s almost 12 inches tall, with sound, motion and lights and the head is almost like the one you did. http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...0001100230.jpg |
