I would be correct to assume that, other than the insignia, the white and red lines are stickers right? Or did you hand paint them in? |

Or did you hand paint them in? | @Thundercracker: Go for it bro! actually there are some problem points in converting him, mainly the rubbery plastics that they used on his thighs, arm joints and winng connectors. you have to sand them well and use a good primer, before painting so paint won't chip off easily from that area. and yes bro, actually they are water slide decals, and they pretty much look painted on after you seal it with a final coat of a clear gloss paint  Quote:

I really like the shade of blue used here--I was always more of a fan of the 'toon look of most of these bots, so the colors fit beautifully. I really dig your work so far, man--glad to see you sharing it up with all of us! (and another thing I like are the nice WIP shots leading up to finished project).
Looking forward to seeing more of your work, bro. | @hXcpunk23: Thanks! I'm a fan of your work bro! especially your Jazz conversion, looks great! yeah i prefer the cartoon colors more, and I think it gives more contrast when you display dirge and thundercracker side by side rather than using a darker shade of blue.

Sweet custom! | @(H)i(GH)con: thanks bro! it's really not that hard, just a bit of patience and resolve is needed yep the decals on the wings tailfin and con logos were all custom made by me, I do have some more extras here though
Thanks for dropping by! | |

Haven't actually tried that, but it should work and still link to the image, just like it does on the thumbnail. |
