Ultra Magnus or Motormaster?

Insane Galvatron · 04-27-2006, 07:29 PM

I did Hi-Q that way because I wanted Magnus to have some red on him. Since his chest is all white and such. Making the PM mostly blue loses the effect.

And with the legs, they'll either be all blue or all white. I'm a bit anal retentive about my kitbashes. I like them to look as smooth and 'factory' as possible. Which usually means painting each part all one color and only doing small paint aps in other colors. What you suggested would be two large areas of different colors. It's hard to get a smooth line between the two.

Oh well. Just trying to help.

I think the extra blue looks way better. You could paint the whole leg blue, and then add the small amount of white afterwards.

I did do a photoshop with more blue. Still, I'm more of a "each part one solid color" kitbasher. Not too keen on paint aps larger than fruity pebble. Especially white. I may cut out some blank white stickers to make the designs. Not sure yet.

That's something that should be officially released. Just do a new head for the combined mode and voilà, Powermaster Ultra Magnus.
