G1 FansProj Superion

So this is basically the first painted transformer I have done. I did some hand painting on the PE-01's Frenzy/Rumble combo, but most of these aerialbots came before that. I wanted to get my methods down before I painted something I wanted to be perfect (Devy)

I made color/mold selections based on wanting Black/White arms. It's not really G1 accurate, but I really like it.

Worth looking at for face painting and more superion angles/zooms. Part of my lense on the camera is blurry, so in one corner it gets a little fuzzy.

Nice custom, but IMO you picked the wrong molds for Fireflight and Slingshot. Original Slingshot is a Harrier, a subsonic aircraft used for close air support just like A-10, while Fireflight is F-4 Phantom, a supersonic fighter/bomber. I would have switched the molds you used for them.

sweet. you are very daring doing a custom in white. I have always hated white. but hey good job.

Demonss · 07-08-2010, 09:22 AM

That turned out REALLY REALLY nice!!
AWESOME WORK MAN!

Makes me want to repaint my superion.. :-/
It definitely makes a nice G1 feel!!

This is the best looking Superion repaint I've seen. I'd be inspired to paint my own, but I don't have enough confidence in my painting abilities, and paint chips scare me.

Process, use enamels. I haven't had any paint chips with enamels.

This is a very cool looking Superion IceWilly!
