LOG027: HOS01 PAINTED

Finally painted up a set on my own. This is be the paint-job I'm offering to folks who opted for the additional assembly plus painting. So far it doesn't seem that the paint will come off easily but I have to be honest, I use paint from aerosol spray cans.

Initially I painted the rivets silver but he looked kinda like a Christmas tree so I repainted them to match the color of the parts. Was going to only do a flat color on the figure but then it looked really cheap so I added tones to it.

Will do up a sample of the black when I have time. And btw I solved the loose joint issue for this more flexible new resin I'm using. :D

LOG026: HOS01 ASSEMBLED KIT

Really very sorry to those who are still waiting for their kits. A lot of unforeseen issues came up and I had to delay on the work and the tests and instructions are taking a lot longer than expected. This is roughly how the assembled kit would look like without paint. Some issues I'm still trying to fix is that the joints are a lot looser than than the pure white ones that I've tested. I'll be reducing the paint and will be changing the joint materials and modify a little on the assembly instructions that I'm still writing.

Hoping to get everything done up and fulfill all the pending orders by the end of March. I'll be away for a week from 16-22th Mar for army reservist training so I won't be able to attend to any emails.

There will also be some announcements soon for future plans and concerning this project as well so stay tuned. Meanwhile here are some pics for those waiting for their kits...

LOG025: HOS01 TRANSFORMATION INSTRUCTION BOOKLET

Finally drawn the instructions for the transformation... in G1 style

LOG024: HOS01 NUMBER PLATES

Finally did up the number-plates for Sabrina's auction. The engraving software didn't work out with the images so I had to model the plates physically in Maya and mill them out.

I designed them slightly differently as a bonus for folks who're getting both sets. They are done on clear acrylic (approx 3" x 1.5"). Will try to enlarge the bar codes larger so the numbers can be more visible.

LOG023: JOLLYBEE

Getting real sick of making silicone molds and took a little time off to work on the mini project in-between the HOS series. And yes, BB gets to keep his smile this time... :D

LOG022: PLANS AND SCHEDULES

I've gotten a couple of emails asking about what I've planned for the CybBB and the release dates for the HOS01 kit.

Tentatively I'm still working on molds and i have to wait for that to be done before I can start working on the instructions and get the necessary stuff printed out. I'm targeting to start shipping out first orders in 2nd/3rd week of Feb and start taking actual orders and hopefully conclude this project in May or June.

As for BB. I'm hoping to start working on the redesigning in Mar and release him in the same month.

Keeping fingers crossed here.

LOG021: HOS01 IN COLOR

Sabrina has painted the first two copies of the HOS Prime figure and the pics can be viewed at her blog

She has listed them on ebay as well so do check them out.
