Please allow me to introduce my dear friend Setheus Prime. He's a loving father and Dave Grohl's doppelgänger who apparently have mad talents for customizing. Over the past few months, we've been working together on imagining a number of new characters for our fantasy version of movieverse TF. Setheus does the real work here, with me merely helping to brainstorm ideas and gathering supplies. I thought I'd post what we've come up so far and get some feedback during the next few weeks. Please feel free to comment, offering suggestions, or ask any questions.

Black primer throughout followed by a gunmetal grey dry brush. Before: After: The vehicle lines were rearranged and several coats of chain-mail were added before the black paint to give the effect of paint fade as well as chip away. Then came the blues.... Up to 3 coats of varying blues were added with a final blue ink to give the look of splashed on energon as Lockdown is just that kind of nasty... The end result is this creature of pure evil that takes great pride in hunting and aquiring trophies of his fallen victims.
I do. The paint apps bring out nice detail while adding a dimension of grunginess that you'd expect from real world combat and pursuit. Keep it up.
