Lightbulb WIP Classics Stepper or Ricochet or something new?

Here's one of my newest projects Classics Stepper. I like the name Stepper over Ricochet but maybe I can make another custom and call it Ricochet.

I'm torn with the ease of leaving it the way it is and adding a bit of paint on the face and just calling it good or painting it full on Black car maybe some flames and all the gold details or a mix of both with leaving the car pretty much as it is but adding a good amount of gold detail on the bot mode.

What do you guys think?

So far this guy is a Prowl with some Silverstreak and I painted his legs black. The head is a white cast made from Botcon Jazz

^^ He said the head is casted from Botcon Jazz

Stepper is great bro, but please don't mind me, I'm in the minority that hates this 350Z mold for anyone else other than Prowl...

I like the idea of him being Stepper/Ricochet (considering they are the same character, you could just call him either). There haven't been a lot of Classics Steppers made so I think he would be a great choice. Plus he is already half the right colors too.

Thanks bro. Indeed it is Botcon Jazz's head, as I said in the original post

Yeah I know they are the same character I was just thinking about making two versions with different names. I know of another board member that made one so far. I'm actually the guy that tracked down the caster that made the heads I sent him. He just happened to beat me to the punch on making one of these guys by a good few months

I'm really liking the idea of a Stepper that's a police car but I don't know if I'm feeling the white on the car mode for some reason. I'm wondering how it would look if it was all black with a lightbar on top.

I think what I might do is paint the robot body as close to Stepper as I can first then figure the car part out after seeing the finished robot

THIS. Go for it, you got my thumbs up! s2

Close to classic would be good too. Either way, all the best of luck to you! Looking forward to what you have cooking up for us to see!

Well if I can get you to like it that's all that matters

But in all seriousness, I've got a good portion of the bot body painted since my last post and it's coming along nicely I think. I'm wondering if any one has an opinion on the head colors. The G1 toy has a gold face and visor (so does Jazz though, being that his is silver face and visor) I want to paint his visor a different color and I'm thinking that autobot blue is a good way to go, but I'm feeling black visor and gold face, any thoughts? If I do black visor I'm losing a color and he becomes only white/black/gold but I feel like he should have at least one more color in there, tough call

Ooooh tough call. If blue, I like a darker blue, like royal, to go with gold. Personal preference though. I do love me black and gold schemes. But I agree with the black visor losing a colour. Hmm...Time for a digibash! Any takers out there?

Word. I need to get me some digibash skills because I would love to be able to play with some colors before I paint. Here's a quick update for ya and it would make a digi easier to do to.
