Outstanding custom Hound figure Hobbies with Jose!!! I really, REALLY hope the official Earth-mode Hound figure gets released soon. Keep on being amazing.
Incredible work on making your own Generation 1 Autobot Hound. 👏👏👏👏👏. It least it saves the rest of us time until the official release of Hound so we plan to collect all of the Season 1 Autobots (we just need Gears, Windcharger and Dinobot Swoop).
Man! Hola Jose, first of all this is a jaw dropping custom you've done!! quite talented indeed. When transforming, does the paint wears off? or scratches? how do you prevent that?
I don't think there's a way to 100% prevent the paint from rubbing or scratching off but there's some ways to try and mitigate it. Sanding down parts that are going to rub against or touch others will make room for the paint. Also, I hardly do this but a good top coat will help protect the paint too. Hey and thanks for watching!
Nice work, I mean I can see both sides of the thinking. They WILL release Hound with this mold in the right colors eventually...but Detritus is also pretty abundant so while waiting...why not? As far as your work, excellent painting, I can't paint for crap, nice work!
Seeing you tackling this project reminds of the time a few years ago when i bought a second siege starscream from my local Wal-Mart just to repaint it into my on figure of skywarp just cause i didn't want to wait for the official figures or try hunting it down,sadly that figure didn't last as the small peg holding the wing backpack assembly snapped on me thus making my custom a lost dream until i can find another siege starscream for a cheep price
@@HobbieswithJose thanks for liking my comment and replying, if possible i might just do a 2.0 of that custom as when i originally made that custom i used black sharpie marker on top of a clear coat primer which was a big mistake and I'll actually try to use masking tape as well
I may have a siege Screamer for you. I know I have an extra Earthrise just not 100% on siege. I’ll hit my storage unit up and check. If I do and you still need or even get this message, let me know.
Hey this was what I think everyone is wanting from Hasbro/Takara!!! You just beat them to the punch!!! Great job man and if I may ask do you seal your paint?
Thank you Zach! I don't typically top coat my customs since they mainly go in the display case. It certainly wouldn't hurt but may require extra sanding of certain parts for a smooth transformation. 👍🏼
This video is the first time I ever heard we're getting a studio series hound, super hyped! also this custom is super cool! definitely gonna make me wish I had that instead of the studio series 😆
Nice work as always! 🔥 I think Hound is stuck in release limbo. He’s officially been rebranded as Ss86 Hound and I think Hasbro is still trying to figure out what to do with him. And considering that they seem to have butt heads with Target recently about the Ss102 Optimus Prime situation I think they’re trying to renegotiate things so might be a while before we see him
Finally another custom! I know for a fact that the buzzworthy hound won’t be as good as this, unfortunately the mold isn’t very accurate to the jeep in the first place, just a shame it didn’t get the jeep licensing!
Good work on the figure Jose. When you get to slug I think you should get the go better studio kit for him as well as the matrix workshop or nonnef kit. Also good luck with the neck piece no one made an upgrade for that.
never realized til now how excellent a "ss86 hound" would look til watchijg the video. Now I wondet how much longer Hasbro will be taking in releasing official figure
I’m gonna be honest here, I’m leaning towards the Siege version more. I don’t know what it is about it but I like it more than the 86/Legacy mold. Amazing custom by the way!🔥
Fantastic custom! Rumours hinting SS86 Hound may be exclusive to a 5-pack is making me seriously considering getting my own Detritus and getting into customization too. I'm also losing hope on a ER Prowl reissue and thinking on maybe repainting a Silverstreak as well...
I honestly look forward to Hound coming out in SOME form so others can enjoy this great character. GREAT time to start being a customizer though, lol. Thanks for watching! 👍🏽
Amazing! I had trouble at first determining which was the MP until I seen the height difference. I have plans to do the same so thanks for doing all the guess work for me. What did you use for the paint removal?
Ey thanks! This project was certainly rewarding. For paint removal I use 9 parts 91% iso alcohol and 1 part lacquer thinner. It’s pretty strong so I use it cautiously, especially on clear parts. Good luck on yours! 👍🏽
You are brilliant, Hound looks great. I still think the seats need some sort of fix. No I absolutely didn't notice the size difference with the extra wheel.
Great job! I thought about doing this but I don't have the patience or skill. I just picked up this model this weekend on sale for $15 alongside Studio '86 Ratchet. Unfortunately, Ratchet was not on sale. I'm still looking for Sludge/Slag? and Swoop and I preordered the Megatron/Shockwave/Soundwave 3 pack which will complete my collection for Tranformers Gen 1. Now I just need more shelves. :)
Newly subbed and loving your videos and work. Very talented! I personally think it'd be cool to have more narration by you vs the long periods of background music. Maybe more insights into your process, your hobby etc. I'd enjoy that more than just a ton of background music. Either way loving the channel!
Thank you so much, I do appreciate that! I'm certainly conscious of the amount of talking throughout my videos, or the lack thereof. Many times I get so into a project I simply forget to talk lol. I probably won't ever talk through the whole video but I do wish to achieve a better balance. Hey, thanks for that input! 👍🏽
Absolutely, you're quite welcome. You're taking modeling to a whole new level! In a big TF fan and have a lot of the figures you're customizing which is really cool to see. Thank you for sharing your talents with us! Really great work!
Amazing custom. Might make my own custom hound But I wonder what you use to unscrew the screws and that tool you use to remove the pins. Also what kind of primer works on that softer plastic
Hola Jose, Yo cheque el link para el grill del jeep 3D y no hay precio. Como cuanto te salio eso ? Excellente trabajo que hiciste. Que lastima que hasbro ha cancelado a Hound para studio series. Se creen ellos que voy invertir para comprar ese juego que trae figuras que ya tengo. Estaran loco ellos.😂
How does it make Hasbro look bad? Do you think this would be a $20-$25 figure after he's customized it? It's brilliant work from an enthusiast, but not something a company can do and still sell a toy for a reasonable price.
Ok ok, I’m sold. How much do you want for him🤔🤔🤔??? I know I know, not for sale right? How about you just give him away in Christmas giveaway!!!??? And yay!! I won?!? Really?!?! Oh thank you Jose!!! Thank you!!! Seriously though, Hasbro needs to hire you for their figures design line and set their machines to color copy your palette design down to the letter. I know the official Hound won’t be nowhere as good as yours so, as a fall back plan, just sell me yours😁😁😁😁😁 Great job my friend!!! What an amazingly great freaking job!! You are extremely talented my friend.
@@HobbieswithJose Hey, I never went looking for your channel so I am glad as hell the RUclips algorithm sent your channel my way. As upset as I am that I am late to the party, I say better late than never😉😉😉
What do you use to strip the paint off your figures? I am wanting to do a custom using the legacy Leadfoot and need to strip off the blue and red on the figure
@HobbieswithJose electroplating is used for metals, but you can get coatings to brush on surfaces to electroplate plastic surfaces. If you give a youtube search for "electroplating plastic" you can find some good tutorials on how to prepare it.
cool old man I complained with the square eye and you can make ironhide rotb custom rotb battletrap base model bumblebee ironhide head, arms, feet and knee pad optimus prime voyager shoulder tubes ironhide bumblebee shapeways cannons would be cool with your hands
Amazing. I'm sad that the official version will never be as good as this...
Hope I haven't ruined the official release for anyone. Still hoping it's out soon.
Outstanding custom Hound figure Hobbies with Jose!!! I really, REALLY hope the official Earth-mode Hound figure gets released soon. Keep on being amazing.

As far as your work, excellent painting, I can't paint for crap, nice work!
Hey thanks! How’s a good time to practice and be a customizer. 💪🏽
A work of master craft! Great base mold off of Detritus, but this does Hound justice.
It's the Hound that we deserve. 💚
Phenomenal work Jose! Just like the masterpiece… in fact better!
Eyyy! Thanks so much dude! 👍🏼
Seeing you tackling this project reminds of the time a few years ago when i bought a second siege starscream from my local Wal-Mart just to repaint it into my on figure of skywarp just cause i didn't want to wait for the official figures or try hunting it down,sadly that figure didn't last as the small peg holding the wing backpack assembly snapped on me thus making my custom a lost dream until i can find another siege starscream for a cheep price
Ah dang, sorry to hear that happened. Funny enough, I have 3 Starscreams waiting to be repainted into a Seeker trio, lol. Maybe one day.

Nice when a toy custom looks more like a model build.
Man I'm jealous, he looks amazing!
Thanks Agent! 👍🏼
This video is the first time I ever heard we're getting a studio series hound, super hyped!
also this custom is super cool! definitely gonna make me wish I had that instead of the studio series 😆
Now's the perfect time to become a customizer. 💪🏼
@@HobbieswithJose Maybe when the SS comes out, Detritus ain't avaliable here in australia!
the custom turned out great and already looking forward to the next project
Thanks! I can't wait to start! 👍🏼
I can’t wait to get my own
Another sweet custom jose. Loving the flat army green color on hound.
Thanks! Yeah, I wanted to keep it as true to form to a military Jeep as possible. 👍🏽
this turned out amazing awesome stuff as always
Thank you Captain! 👍🏼
Absolutely jaw dropping
Thanks Ben! 👍🏼
Fantastic Job. Enjoy all your incredible work.
Thank you so much! 👍🏽
What cleaner/solvent do you use for your paint stripping?
Looks Awesome! Great Work!
Thank you!
Nice work as always! 🔥

And considering that they seem to have butt heads with Target recently about the Ss102 Optimus Prime situation I think they’re trying to renegotiate things so might be a while before we see him
Damn, that's crazy to hear. Hopefully they do get things resolved soon and "release the Hounds!"
*Chef's kiss* Great work!
Thanks Jared! 👍🏼
Finally another custom! I know for a fact that the buzzworthy hound won’t be as good as this, unfortunately the mold isn’t very accurate to the jeep in the first place, just a shame it didn’t get the jeep licensing!
The accuracy IS an issue, that's true, but that's why I'm glad the custom Jeep front end exists. Hopefully more folks utilize as well. 👍🏼
Good work on the figure Jose. When you get to slug I think you should get the go better studio kit for him as well as the matrix workshop or nonnef kit. Also good luck with the neck piece no one made an upgrade for that.
Oooohhhhh. I have the DNA Design kit but the one's you mentioned have some great additions! Thanks for the heads up! And thanks for watching.
@@HobbieswithJose your welcome.

I definitely need that pin punch set
Using screwdrivers is getting painful
Bro your works are crazy! Keep it up!
Thank you so much! 👍🏼
If you want something done right you gotta do it yourself!
💪🏽

@@HobbieswithJose Thanks for the info. Also wanted to say the parts you hand painted look amazing.
Looks amazing, Jose!
Thank you! 👍🏽
Nice work. What is this special primer that works on the softer plastic?
Thank you! Here's a link to it, although again, I haven't used it myself so I can't speak to its effectiveness. Hoping to try it soon. amzn.to/3GeV3xZ
@@HobbieswithJose Thanks for that. I think plan A might be dyeing it, for me but it's great to have this in the armoury, too.
You are brilliant, Hound looks great. I still think the seats need some sort of fix. No I absolutely didn't notice the size difference with the extra wheel.
Thank you! Yeah, I wish I could've done something with the seats. Something that folds down would seem like a perfect fix too.
Great job! I thought about doing this but I don't have the patience or skill.

Gorgeous.
It's crazy how the hound should look exactly like this, but we all know what's gonna happen
Again...hope I didn't ruin the eventual Hound release for folks. 😬Great time to become a customizer!👍🏼
Okay now do Detritus from hound.
Jokes aside, fantastic work!
Just watch it backwards! Thanks for watching zomB! 👍🏼
This is glorious
Thank you! 👍🏼
Hola Jose,
Yo cheque el link para el grill del jeep 3D y no hay precio.
Como cuanto te salio eso ?
Excellente trabajo que hiciste. Que lastima que hasbro ha cancelado a Hound para studio series. Se creen ellos que voy invertir para comprar ese juego que trae figuras que ya tengo. Estaran loco ellos.😂
Hola PrimeCustoms! El grill del Jeep es gratis! Por eso no tiene precio, jaja! Lo puedes descargar y usarlo. Ojala te sale bien. Suerte! 👍🏼
I like your videos
Outstanding work. Truly inspiring.
Can we get Swindle to go with him?
You're making hasbro look bad
How does it make Hasbro look bad?
Do you think this would be a $20-$25 figure after he's customized it? It's brilliant work from an enthusiast, but not something a company can do and still sell a toy for a reasonable price.
Hasbro might hunt him 💀
What do you mean? Why?
@@noahapolonio1173 he gives a way better paint job. That's about it. Hasbro cant do the same do to budget constraints.
Do you take commissions ?
Sadly no...not yet anyway, lol.
@@HobbieswithJose oh ok...
My God, he's perfect.😢
🙏🏼
Very ,very nice
Ok ok, I’m sold. How much do you want for him🤔🤔🤔???
I know I know, not for sale right? How about you just give him away in Christmas giveaway!!!??? And yay!! I won?!? Really?!?! Oh thank you Jose!!! Thank you!!!
Seriously though, Hasbro needs to hire you for their figures design line and set their machines to color copy your palette design down to the letter. I know the official Hound won’t be nowhere as good as yours so, as a fall back plan, just sell me yours😁😁😁😁😁
Great job my friend!!!
What an amazingly great freaking job!! You are extremely talented my friend.
Lol, well I'm glad you answered your own question. But truly, thank you so much for watching. Glad you enjoyed it! 👍🏼
@@HobbieswithJose Hey, I never went looking for your channel so I am glad as hell the RUclips algorithm sent your channel my way. As upset as I am that I am late to the party, I say better late than never😉😉😉
@@VegaClawForever There you go. I am 100% glad you found me. 👍🏼
It looks genuine official most epic 😎 👍
What do you use to strip the paint off your figures? I am wanting to do a custom using the legacy Leadfoot and need to strip off the blue and red on the figure
I think I just answered you on Discord right! Hey thanks for joining Discord! 👍🏼
That looks good
Thanks! 👍🏼
For airbrushing, do you use a specific level of pressure in your compressor?
I kinda eyeball it, but I keep it relatively low. Too high a pressure will cause the paint to be uneven. Depends on the type of paint too.
Hi, what is the brand of paint stripper you used?
It's called Klean-Strip. Here's an affiliate link: amzn.to/48vq7VH
Do you buy your paints individually or do they sell sets
I've acquired my paints individually over the years.
Hey there, Jose. How did you split the head without cracking it.
I never actually split the head on this project. I pulled it off the ball joint and applied putty on the seam line to hide it. 👍🏽
@@HobbieswithJose Thank you.
I cant believe hasbro messed up hound's release so badly. Even if they release it outside the 5pack...your videos spoiled me
“Fine I’ll do it myself”
💯
Question! Have you ever considered electroplating any pieces for a custom in the future?
No, have never considered that. Isn't that only for metals though? I'm not familiar with the process.
@HobbieswithJose electroplating is used for metals, but you can get coatings to brush on surfaces to electroplate plastic surfaces. If you give a youtube search for "electroplating plastic" you can find some good tutorials on how to prepare it.
this is what they should’ve given us for earthrise
They can even make him into a 86ss. Hound
Maybe I missed it, but how did you get the pin out of his knees and elbows?
Those joints have the wide pins which I tend to leave alone. Too much trouble to try and disassemble so I simply work around them. 👍🏼
@@HobbieswithJose Thanks. Your video inspired me to try and customize my Detritus into a Hound. You did an awesome job with yours.
@@jasonknight8581 Thank you! And good luck on yours!
I noticed that tire but that’s just because I’m a car nut
Nice job 😂
👍🏼
Buzzworthy died before Hound released... so yeah you did us all a favor 😭
cool old man I complained with the square eye and you can make ironhide rotb custom
rotb battletrap base model
bumblebee ironhide head, arms, feet and knee pad
optimus prime voyager shoulder tubes
ironhide bumblebee shapeways cannons would be cool with your hands
Why won’t they just release hound already?
Buzzworthy Bumblebee seems to be about to be discontinued. Hound may be caught in between...
That’d be a tragedy but I’m confident he’ll still be released.
All Detritus is doing is peg warming. They need to give us Hound already.
Eat your heart out hasbro hey can you gives us the requied paint colors just in case if we wanma do it to
Yup, there in the description. 👍🏼
@@HobbieswithJose thanks pal
Hasbro needs to stop slacking
