Hey guys!

 

Here is my repainted Movie Jazz... Finally complete!

 

Jazz was primed with automotive primer and basecoated with black automotive paint. The main silver/gray color of the car is "burning platinum", from automotive paint brand DoIt (made in Spain). The silver/gray robot parts (head, thighs, shinguards) are painted in a mix of Tamiya acrylic gunmetal and metallic gray. Drybrushing was done with Tamiya chrome silver to give more depth and a worn-out look to the robot parts. I also added details in copper, red, and clear yellow/gold.

 

While taking pictures, I noticed that I forgot the yellow/orange turn signal lights on top of the front tires. There are some other things that I can improve on, such as the paint apps on the headlights and taillights. Nevertheless, I'm very proud of this custom, as I think that I was able to turn a really crappy (to me at first) figure into something cool.

 

Thanks for looking! I hope you like it!

:pfx

That is excellent.

Thanks guys! I'm glad you like it! :)

Very nice!

 

You should also do the door mod. Remove the doors from his legs, and then reinsert them and then they can angle back (which also adds to his leg articulation)

Thanks! I have tried that one actually, but I didn't like it very much. The leg assembly becomes too flimsy, and I like to avoid partsforming if I can. :)

a fine job mampy. nice detail all around. any reason you didn't chrome the wheels? :( that would be my only suggestion. :)

well, i've always been lazy painting tires, but i didn't chrome them because they already had movie accurate colors. i might paint the tires flat black and go over the rims with gloss.
