So, I have 2 Sideswipes, my first one, I decided to add a lil different paint setup, coloring in the logo, adding some more paint detail on the stomach section, lower legs and painted the struts behind legs silver.
Oh the other one, I had repainted him more of a G1 color scheme. Painted most of the head black, and the body of the vehicle obviously red with some other touch up spots here and there.

I even meant to have RR Swipe in that pic, and to probably repaint him a lil. Quote:

Paint doesn't adhere properly, and it remains tacky forever. Kinda like when I repainted a Acid Storm into a Thundercracker. His nosecone always stayed tacky. But the legends one may be doable.
Also, I did manage to work up both of my Sideways' as well. I painted my first one a lil more movie accurate, to have the black hood and roof with the silver stripes off the audi symbol. I have to clean it up a bit more though. Plus I pretty much repainted all the red sections on his body, as we have seen in the CGI still...he doesn't have any red on his actual body, only his grills of alt mode. As for the other one, I just added some more red stripes to go with his red body!

I've painted a few Robot Heroes using Testor's Model Masters and Folk Art acrylic paints and haven't had an issue with them drying just fine.
These all look very cool! Great work!  This awesome sig created by Poho! |

These all look very cool! Great work! | I think my silver chrome, which is the one I use because of how shiney it gets, is a Model Masters...though it may be an enamel...I do have an acrylic silver, which I suppose I can try. Quote:

Great...I like Swipe so much I have to buy every version of him...and x3 Deluxes if I do the Streaker!
