So, bummer news The filament I used for Samus’s beam cannon is hard to find now. I found one seller, and it was expensive, but they reached out and said, “we’re so sorry, but our remaining stock has been crushed.” So now I may need to pay double somewhere to continue this project.

My first Metroid game was Prime 2: Echoes, in grade school. I did not get very far bc the game terrified me. Now as a seasoned Metroid veteran and big brave boy, I finally return to the game, only to realize OH, this was just THE SCARIEST ONE ANYWAY 💀

Beam cannon progress: I ran out of dark teal filament! 🥲 (It’s CC3D Sage Green Silk PLA, btw, beautiful color. Same stuff I used for @sam-makes-toys.bsky.social’s Lugnut a couple years back!)

Personal project this week: Samus Aran’s beam cannon from Metroid Prime. At 1:2 scale it’ll theoretically be able to change between all 4 beam shapes by pushing buttons, plus an opening missile nozzle. Unfortunately it’s not hollow, but meh. I also want to design a display stand when I’m done!

MOTU x TF wave 2 comic. The art is terrific. The writing, though… woof. Very pandering. In fact, by this story treatment’s own logic, everything the Eternians know of Cybertron was encapsulated en-route to Earth — so why quote events which happen millions of years later? Bonkers.

now that they're safely with @toygrind.bsky.social, i can finally show off my latest custom, who i dub actus prime. huge props to @camzilla51.bsky.social for his amazing work on the labels and for putting up with my bs

@camzilla51.bsky.social giving ToyHax a shoutout for making this custom possible. Dark Hot Rod/Rodimus!

felt like playing with TR Hot Rod today

Christmas Is Coming 📷 Transformers Holiday Optimus Prime with Toyhax Sticker Set

it helps that I have MMCs version of Rodimus (with some Toyhax flair). It's not AS detailed as the TT thing, but, like, it's good enough and was half the price.

Damn, Toyhax out there really polishing a turd.

#transformers Got toyhax labels for my Siege Soundwave. Unpopular opinion, but I love his official alt mode. A stealth bomber is perfect for a modern Soundwave that can still deploy minions. Plus, his fan modes can be a cybertronian boombox akin to his highmoon design or a military-styled satellite

If you are on the fence with the @Toyhax Commander Prime set, let me help you.

One Toyhax sticker set and a few spare parts and boom Pyro. #Transformers #custom

I would like to officially debut my new portfolio site! Check back for updates and behind-the-scenes insights on the Toyhax sets I've worked on, as well as digibash concepts and other art pieces I make, just for funsies! See you there! camzilla51.myportfolio.com/work

Fractured Friendship Orion Pax + toyhax + paint

Legacy @Toyhax Stalker Upgrade I've amassed a small army of Perfect Decepticons as most people prefer their Tarns and don't collect multiple versions of moulds (what?!). So I had one free to be converted into G1.5 Predator Stalker. #Transformers
