Studs Not On Top Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 http://www.flickr.co...N05/6566249947/Raw-Jaw is now my favorite repaint and probably my favorite HF set. Everything is done in acrylic.What do you think? I might post my other repainted sets soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takanuinuva Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Definetaly interesting. I made a revamp of rawjaw with a better back and a lower jaw. I also replaced all the gunmetal gray with black or silver Quote I am Takanui Nuva. The Toa Nuva of Light I also go by Baron Von Brickenstein AFOL, Gamer and overall nice person.

Zarohum Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 That's pretty awesome, but shouldn't this go in BBC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simulacrum Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 ^Not sure... If seen quite a few re-do's in sets, not sure if they belong here.Onto the topic itself:Wow. Scary. It gives off a natural feel that looks good on the set, but doesn't remove all sense of mechanical-ness.The use of brown over any other color is what made my happy. All in all: Good repaint!

Sybre Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 The repaint makes it look like it came from a movie! That's pretty impressive!Just out of curiosity, what did you use and how long did it take to repaint it? Quote mindeth the cobwebs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akuna Toa of Sonics Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 As it's been said before, maybe not the best sub-forum.On to the repaint:...WOW, I'm blown away. The rust effect is stunning, as are the stripes painted. And you even painted eyes on! Quote Does anyone want to play the Master Chief Collection with me? I'm trying to get a team going for ranked.

Zionfighter7G Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 This is pretty impressive.If all HF sets looked like that, I'd get them. Quote It's been so long since I've been on a forum site, I forgot how to Banner. This is a problem that Mark Ruffalo had at the start of Thor: Ragnarok, but mine is more difficult. Although, I think an equal amount of Chris Hemsworth will fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Studs Not On Top Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 A few more repaints:http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/SpiritOfTime/HF/NexRepaint/nexrepaint_001.jpg (Nex 3.0)http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/SpiritOfTime/Bionicle/MOBCs/Repaints/nitroblast_001.jpg (Nitroblast head)http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/SpiritOfTime/Bionicle/MOBCs/Repaints/nitroblast_002.jpg (Arm)http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/SpiritOfTime/Bionicle/MOBCs/Repaints/nitroblast_005.jpg (Fuel Tank)I love the "ooze" effect I got on Nitroblast's fuel tank-- it's a mixture of roughly 80% water and 20% paint. I used this effect on Raw-Jaw's entire body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarohum Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Nex is beautiful. Be sure to do the 4.0/1.0 heads once we get a good look at them. The preview on the HF website shows them, but I can't imagine you can do much with those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to keep the Glatorian heads as they are for their glowing-eye effect, but I could try to paint around them. I've actually painted blue eyes on Nex's head, and I'll get a picture of it as soon as I have a good camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Six Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Repaints such as this belong in General Artwork, so let's toss it on over there. Quote Bio of a BZP Admin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dralcax Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 These are amazing. I love the rusted effect on Rawjaw and the details on Nex. I do remember someone repainted Nex with tiger stripes on the old forums, and your repaint could benefit from it. Nitroblast is meh, but the effects are intruiging.

Ballom Nom Nom Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Oh, wow! That's really quite an impressive repaint. I particularly like how the worn appearance matches with the jungle theme of the original set. Good job. The other painted parts of other sets look nice as well.~B~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 1st Shadow Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Those look great! My favourite of them is Nex. Excellent work! Quote ~Your friendly, neighborhood Shadow ~Credit for Avatar and Banner goes to NickonAquaMagna~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~garnira returns~ Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 these are very nice! when i repaint i never think to make it look realistic, and you have made raw jaw look like he actually came from the jungle. the other repaints are nice too.

BrickPharaoh Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 That's cool! I have a question, though. Does acrylic come off after you use it on plastic? Quote "Welcome to Valhalla, Warrior."

ALVIS Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Incredible - you've made a HF set look purely epic, something difficult to do with all the bright colors and such. I certainly wouldn't like to see one of those in a dark alley in the... jungle... Well, if all the Savage Planet beasts looked like this (and the storyline was bearable), I'd give HF another chance as a story. Quote "You are not entitled to your opinion.

Studs Not On Top Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Thanks, everyone! And yes, the acrylic will scratch off-- I'm still trying to find a finish that will protect the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
