    I'm just surprised they didn't paint him like this for United.

    Very cool repaint. Amazing how much a color change can improve a figure...

    I wish Hasbro would repaint him and re-sell him for the 30th Anniversary like the way you did it! GLORIOUS!

    It's the reveal the shield Classics mould. Lugnut should never wear any colours other than those from the glorious Decepticon empire.

    I really wouldn't mind if they did. There is always the choice they might do it for Botcon some year or the Cloud series they've just started.

    Still got another 2 to repaint MISB somewhere.

    Not very often one of my threads becomes a zombie, but in this case I really don't mind.

    Looks awesome! The only thing I kind of question was painting out the eye... Considering it had such nice light piping, it probably should've been left alone. Still great stuff man.

    You must of had a different toy.

    The lightpiping on all 5 of the Lugnuts I have had in hand never really worked properly unless the only thing on the ball stem was the clear plastic

    Beautiful custom. I'm honestly not too big a fan of the toy's original colors, this looks way better.

    The original mold's colors are suppose to be "realistic", but who cares, this guy's more epic now.

    Thanks everyone, as has been pointed out, this is one heck of an old custom now, I ended up doing three, this first one went to heirofthedog who was a big help in me getting it listed on eBay, second one was done as a commission for @chrisr291 (Do you still have him buddy or did you manage to sell him?) and a third not painted quite to the same quality (two coats as opposed to three for a worn look)

    All were hand painted from primer through to top coat with Citadel paints, but I do still have 2 RTS Lugnuts MISB as I thought I might do a couple more. Now I have an airbrush and use Vallejo paints instead it is tempting to break at least one of them out to see just how far I've come as a custom painter.
