Description Here we go with another magnet commission! I really enjoyed making this one; I have always liked Tracks' original G1 design. I was really amused when the commissioner suggested Tracks blowing bubbles; I could see him doing that, actually, if he thought nobody was looking. XD

Tracks is about 4 1/2 inches tall, is made from pieces of multicolored Sculpey III, and his bubble wand is made from silver wire.  His etched detail is augmented by a wash of black acrylic paint.  The bubbles are individual magnets, and are made from translucent Sculpey and are coated with iridescent nail polish. XD  

Tracks and Transformers are property of Hasbro/Takara, IDW, etc.

Aw jeez. That's adorable. I'm impressed with how many little details of his you got in there. The gesture on his hands is especially nice.

Thank you!   I love Tracks' design, and I jumped at the chance to make a magnet of him.  When I heard the commissioner wanted him blowing bubbles; I figured he would do it with a bit of finesse.

Hahah, yeah, I thought it was a really cute idea that the commissioner came up with; at first I wasn't quite sure how I was going to do it, but Tracks sort of showed me how to do it himself as I was making him. XD  The little lightbulb went off in my head and I swear Tracks rolled his eyes at me. XD

Very creative with the nail polish!   And I have to agree with the other commenters, your detail is stunning.

Thank you very much!  I actually had to test several different polishes before I settled on one that didn't just look scary. XD

Why thank you!  I'm really having a ball with these guys; I think my confidence has improved a little in regards to details and faces.

Hahahah, yeah I hear you there. XD  I have always liked him, despite his apparent snootiness; and Raoul was one of my favorite G1 humans; he could always knock Tracks down a peg or two. :3

Gorgeous idea, wonderful implemented (like always ^^).

 

It´s amazing. All this little details. His face, the bubbles, his armor, the coloring...Incredible awesome and beautiful !! I wonder how much time do you need to make this kind of figures ? Aw man, I just can´t take my eyes off it...

Why thank you very much!

Yeah, all this practice is helping I think; I would have balked at this much detail back when I first started these little guys; now I don't even blink an eye. XD

How long it takes greatly depends on the level of detail and how much time I have in the day to do it.  This one took me longer because I got VERY busy all of a sudden.   On average though, probably a couple of days of off and on work.
