This is a pretty obvious re-paint,so obvious i cant belive hasbro havent done it themselves,however Apex Prime did a Fantastic Digi-bash of Scorponok a while back wich really inspired me to tackle the big guy.Actualy this was a bit of a nightmare project,took way longer than i expected & i managed to scratch my cornea at work,so i couldnt paint for a week[V]First of all i tried making Scorponok a headmaster but the head was just too small and i ended up scraping that idea.So i went for a few Weapons upgrades instead.First of all i took the rather puny looking cannons & extended the barrels using aliminium & plastic tubing.I then attached them with rare earth magnets.Next i made Scorponoks shield out of a piece of Zoid i had lying around & added a couple of scythes of a 40k dark eldar vehicle,again this is attached with rare earth magnets.Finaly i made his gun,this was made out of Armarda Smokescreens crane gun with a load of aircraft kit & 40k bitz.Scorponok was painted with Games workshop paints,mainly Dark angels green,Dwarf Bronze,Burnished gold & a custom mixed purple.Loads more pics here..http://s221.photobucket.com/albums/dd62/jo...cs%20Scorponok/

While I still don't see the mold as a stand in for G1 Scorponok(it has to have a city mode, to do that for me!), that's some great work there.

the cannons on his chest, is that just paint work, or did you add some of that aliminium & plastic tubing to it? Looks really impressive.

Thanks alot :thumb yep thats just paint on the chest cannons.

I`m with you on the city mode but because of the size of the figure & to fit in scale with my other classics i decided not to go for it.

I love it! In fact, I may have to try it myself. I think that may be the same purple I used on my moviescorpy repaint, but the green is a lot better than what I used. Anyways, really nice job! That shield is pure :awsum

Thanks alot :thumb ,go for it.

The purple i used was a custom mix,the purple on your movie scorpy is fantastic i really like the vivid shine on it.

City mode schmity mode. Scorpo-jet FTW!

That is one of the most detailed and professional paint jobs I've ever seen! You've really captured the feel of the G1 character in this toy. Wonderfully done!

I like it, the paint detail gives it a sort of steam punk feel with the royal purple, emerald green and worn metals. deffinately a great job.

:awsum :awsum :awsum :awsum :awsum

Awesome!

 

What mold is that?

 

I always thought a cool updated Scorponok would have like an orbital cannon mode. Like the tail straightens out into a cannon (kind of reminds me of the orbital cannon from Halo 3, you know the one).

 

That jet mode looks sweet too.
