8inch custom robot QEE wip - more mods

I was very very sick since Friday. I do not know if it is too much excitement about the MAC forums anniversary party, Toymaker going to the Philippines, Greattoys sponsoring both my blog and our event OR my no rice during dinner diet that I have been doing for 2 weeks, that caused me to become really ill.

I managed to do some small mods on this project earlier today though. I need my client's approval to continue with the project. The client wanted a steam punk look to the 8 inch DIY QEE, So I thought of actually making it have a sort of a mohawk to solidify the steam PUNK concept literally.

I just need to add lips to the 2.5 inch egg shaped QEE, weld marks all over the 8 inch QEE, a couple more cables and more screws. I think I will be painting this guy sooner than later. Anyways, here are some progress photos so far...

Thanks for dropping by! Til' next update! :)

5 inch DIY mini QEE Qonk ver DC23

I just closed a deal with a client from the US. He basically asked me to do him a custom designer vinyl toy with a steam punk concept. Nope this is not the commission piece yet, this is actually my very first designer vinyl toy. I bought this 5 inch DIY QEE as a practice build before I tackle the commission. 

The client originally asked for a " munny " from kidrobot.com, however I was not able to find one thus we settled with the more expensive QEE. I finished this toy last night, just a quick build to learn how to work with vinyl.

I will be working with the bigger 8 inch QEE for the client, which means more paint and more details. This 5 inch toy was really fun to do as I simply focused on the painting only and just a bit of sanding to give the vinyl surface a tooth for the paint.

I painted this steam punk boy with vallejo paints... this is fully hand painted, thus the brush marks. hehehe. Anyways, here are a few more photos of this very fun quick build!

The photo below shows the 8 inch BearQEE that I will be doing for my client. The egg shaped 2.5 inch DIY QEE is for myself. :)

Thanks for dropping by! Hope you like my very first vinyl!? :)
