    Hi everyone,

    I just couldn't accept the CW Sligshot/blastoff's face as it is, so I waited for the Uw version for a seriously long time. however, although the sculpt turned out pretty fine, that shade of brown was totally unacceptable for me so I thought of a very cost effective way of having my ultimate team up for CW combaticons, Blastoff with a faceplate, hope you guys like it. I sculpted the faceplate with alittle bit of greenstuff and then painted it with a mix of gunmetal and black paint.

    Please drop a line, your comments are always valuable.

    P.S. I like both CW onslaught and blastoff color schemes better over UW counterparts, so decided to go with CW afterall.

    So here are some pics:

    Nicely molded. I like how you got the flattened front nice and even. I've seen some that are all lopsided and weird.

    It's kneadite, some epoxy putty widely used in tabletop miniature scultpures.

    Thanks everyone for the nice comments :)
