Robot Replicas Bumblebee


This is the most accurate movie Bumblebee this far. He doesn´t transform, granted... but instead of a car mode, you get tons of detail, super articulation and great accuracy!

In addition to the cool look, Bumblebee has several changes:

* Retooled neck for a wider range of movement (the original one could only look side to side, now he can move downwards and tilt his head side to side for cool poses)
* The blue painted plastic windows were replaced by transluscent plastic (for a glass looking effect)
* Elbows were retooled to allow a 90° position, which was imposible before.
* I added a custom bumper.
* Some parts of his chest were resculpted, for more accuracy.


And that´s it!
Oh, and he´s entirely repainted with the best enamels available! The yellow I used is a custom hue I made for my most recent Bumblebee customs. Every little detail was painted using TONS of pictures as reference (from stills from the movies, CGI promo pics and those 360° turnarounds available on the DVD and Blu-Ray).

This little piece of art has so many details that you'll need hours to discover them all (not as many hours as I spent painting them, though ;) )

Finally, I applied several coats of gloss lacquer, to ensure the paint job lasts for many years.
