    Once again we have a paper plate, blue tape teaser of a work in progress.

    [​IMG]

    Working on some highlights to give a little more of a G-1 Toy feel to the deco..

    -Sky blue chest windows as close a match to the Alt mode I could find, silver waist to break up the black.

    -Added tail lights (currently in silver undercoat.) will be red.

    -Silver accents on the leg hip segment.

    -Black added to the side of the arm gun to break up the block of silver. Might try some copper highlights in the area.

    -Silver added to the 3 vents in the head.

    -Blue added to the sections on the front of the arm shield to mimic the blue sticker on the G1 forearm.

    -Blue added to the flood lights in the bumper to make sure it also doesn't end up a sea of silver.

    All parts are still awaiting further coats and a clear coat, so paint appearance isn't final

    Thanks! Got the red in the tail lights and just awaiting a new bottle of clear coat to secure all this work after the last coats on what's needed tomorrow and should be done on Friday.

    Tape to hold the paper didn't want any brushover on the combiner stem. Still going to be Trailbreaker, just way more colourful.
