    I never had much joy with Revell. Citadel / Games Workshop Acrylics are great for hiding brushstrokes, and they do all the main colours in spray cans too.

    Agree that's why It's a double header... the head is a parts former piece that I can connect to the back of Ironhide's head... So If I'll ever sell it the new owner can choose or him/herself :D  I'll display as a prime, cuz I love him!!!

    WOW thxn for the tip, will check if I can order it in the Netherlands somewhere!

    UPDATE:

    first attempt @ experimental battle damage ...

    Now it's 98%

    Do you guys think that when I'll use other paint (less strokes) I could start accepting commisions?)

    I might even make a small 75x75cm airbrush or spraypaint cabine, with electric air vents!

    If you have a junker TFTM Prime head, use that. It already has the same style and you would only need a screw to attach it.

    But this head works too, just a little big.

    I actually like the Armada Prime head used. I think if you dry brushed some silver onto it, it would integrate it more into the custom. Something I'd really like to point out is that I really like how you made the bullet holes. I think they look like a semi-randomly fired pattern (from an automatic gun), but they're not overdone. I also think this is a good choice of a mold for a Prime that's not so much a "movieverse" Prime. Nice work :thumb
