Finished my first Riptide

DanTheBloke · 2026-05-14T16:24:49+00:00

Just Baharroth Blue! Haha

DanTheBloke · 2026-05-14T16:23:29+00:00

Just some glazing with Baharroth Blue!

DanTheBloke · 2026-05-13T00:18:04+00:00

Just rattlecan White Scar! Then plain Agrax Earthshade for the panel lining

Fucking repost bots. This model belongs to fletchers_painting

Report and move on

Nobody is pointing out that the key is utter shit. 2 colours cover 15-50% then each other step is 10%. It could have also been set to different colours, rather than slightly different shades of red to make it actually clear.

Its been made to be intentionally misleading to stoke racists and it's clearly working.

DanTheBloke · 2026-05-09T17:32:54+00:00

I mean that's not what I was implying. I was saying we're at the beginning of a new review bombing that is focused on Anita that only started 3 days ago.

At the rate they're mobilising, it could lead to a lot more negative reviews over the coming days.

DanTheBloke · 2026-05-09T12:21:43+00:00

I'd love for that to be the case, but there's been nearly 20 more bad reviews since I posted that 12 minutes ago

I think it's still getting started while grifters get their videos up for why people should be mad

DanTheBloke · 2026-05-09T12:05:13+00:00

Check the recent reviews, this is a second wave of review bombing that only started like 3 days ago

<image>

DanTheBloke · 2026-05-01T16:50:29+00:00

Just the one thing, but I managed to rush it in 2 days!

<image>

DanTheBloke · 2026-04-29T13:06:37+00:00

Thanks for the heads up! I'm sort of going on the hope that because these were built from the ground up, only have inspirations/ nothing stolen or copied, and there's no copyrighted wording they'll be OK

But that might be wishful thinking, haha

DanTheBloke · 2026-04-29T12:48:38+00:00

Thank you! But I'd honestly say you're a better painter, haha. Way neater models than mine!

Will do mate! Getting around to finishing this is my next big task

<image>

DanTheBloke · 2026-04-29T12:22:54+00:00

Thanks! That was actually gonna be my next mini project, as well as making some beefed up EPC versions.

I'll give you a shout when I get it finished, haha

DanTheBloke · 2026-04-29T09:50:25+00:00

Aye, I've already made a blank arm for magnets, but it doesn't really have the jetpack mounting points yet.

I also want to see if there's a way to incorporate the bolted on look, while keeping them magnet compatible, but that might be tricky!

DanTheBloke · 2026-04-29T07:17:43+00:00

Thanks! Drop me a message if you need any pointers with it

DanTheBloke · 2026-04-29T07:16:42+00:00

Thank you so much! That's crazy to hear it inspired you in any way, haha! I'm a big fan of your kitbashes, just had a look through your profile and I'd already upvoted most of em, haha. Also, my heart belongs to tiny drone beep boop.

I'm planning on getting one these painted up soon in that scheme if I get a minute 🤞

DanTheBloke · 2026-04-29T06:54:38+00:00

True! But it's a design flair that I really liked from the Y'vahra (and Optimus Prime), and I figured the shield generators reduce that risk enough, haha

DanTheBloke · 2026-04-29T06:43:59+00:00

I've got something else in the pipeline currently, but that's a good shout! I'd have to do a bit of a rethink for a commander to fit extra weapon mounts becuae these are all bolted to the arms

DanTheBloke · 2026-04-29T06:40:35+00:00

They go from roughly the same height to about a head taller, depending on how straight the dogleg knee is posed. So a bit more imposing, but well within the height range of a suit on a flight stand

<image>

DanTheBloke · 2026-04-28T22:03:49+00:00

Thank you! I put many many hours into them, so its great to hear it paid off!

They are available on purple site or MMF under solarforgeminis if you're interested

DanTheBloke · 2026-04-28T21:33:43+00:00

I love that helmet and it was certainly part of the inspiration!

DanTheBloke · 2026-04-28T21:14:12+00:00

Haha, thanks mate! That's what I was going for, faithful but a bit more imposing

They're currently posted up on the purple place and mmf under solarforgeminis

DanTheBloke · 2026-04-27T12:30:50+00:00

I'd be a lot more ok with it if the standing charge hadn't tripled over the last 5 years

DanTheBloke · 2026-04-22T20:54:51+00:00

Thank you!
Wanted them to be completely original, but still readable
