    My attempt at a G1 Arcee that would fit in with my '86 movie collection. I tried to capture the unique style of that line like off model paint aps,80's new wave colors,awkward sticker graphics and stiff blocky design. Built from a G1 Blurr and model kit scraps. Paints used were Krylon spray paints fluorescent cerise(which looks a bit reddish in pics than hot pink in hand),white primer,clear coat and hobbie acrylics. Unfortunately the paint chipped several places when I reassembled the pieces.So..in addition to touch ups I may sculpt a new back and gun.

    Makes me think why this wasn't done before? As a huge fan of the animated movie, I appreciate this! Thanks for sharing.
