    So, the bugger's finally done!
    Took forever to paint him up (NEVER use black undercoat if you're planning on bright colours overtop! DUH!)
    but I'm super happy with him.

    If I have any criticisms, it's that maybe the colour scheme is a bit too busy; so many bits of white and orange..maybe I'll repaint some white bits over with orange...

    And no, he won't combine!

    Comments always welcome, and WIP thread can be found here:

    Very nice. Got any shots of him next to Chromia? Would be great to show just how much retooling went to this...

    I've seen tons of gender-swaps over my time, but it has mostly been the other direction. This turned out great, and an amazing rendition of Afterburner to boot.

    The paint has done a lot to bring this guy together, as an Afterburner fan I approve :)

    Now THAT is Afterburner! This beats the pants off of the 3P version. Very well done.

    I don't think you have too much white and I think you did a great job on the colors.
