    Well hello there. Glad you could make it.

    After seeing AOE it was clear that the KSI sub plot was at least a little influenced by the TFP MECH story, so I took an extra FE Bumblebee and went to work!

    I should be adding some more pics soon. I recently discovered that shooting on white brings out the true colors a lot better. When shooting on a dark background I can't seem to get the red correct....

    Thanks for your time!

    That looks awesome. :)  I think if you add a different head on the mold that's closer to the actual Stinger head from the movie it'll complete the look further.

    That mold pops a hell of a lot more than before. Nice job.

    I actually would be okay if they gave us Stinger like this, but only if he was painted like you did yours.

    I love it!

    That's incredibly sharp! Though, maybe it's just the brightness, I am finding it hard to make out details (wanted to check the head).

    Thanks all!

    This is the first time I've experimented on a white background, so it's clear that I'll need to up my wattage on lightbulbs, as was pointed out you lose a little detailing in the blacks. It's a great payoff however, when shooting on black he looks orangish, when in reality it's a deep, dark metallic red.

    Very nice use of Prime Bumblebee! Looks crisp and clean without being too over the top.
