    Easiest thing in the world, took a screwdriver, and rotated it until I penetrated the plastic, easy stuff bro

    BTW, what did you do to its head? It seems different somehow, and looks much more articulated.

    Nothings modded on the head, just using the neck he came with, which gives him all the articulation you need.

    Awesome stuff as usual.

    You should show your customs off by taking pictures of your work on a black background to bring out all the detail rather than snap pictures on your computer desk.

    ^ That custom Megatron is awesome by the way. I've even saved pictures of it to my computer.

    Can't wait to see your take on Powered-Up Optimus.

    there is other more more easiest methods than pulling screwdrivers...take hot soldering iron and stub it to the figure..u will know how realistic it is with damage bullet hole effects..

    i really love you paintjob, but i really dislike the "batledamage"

    in my oinion you used much to much hot spoon-holes. cause op never got hit by any mp-projectile, nly railguns and energyblasts.

    i really want to see a smashed and "heatmelted" prime by a railgun, this would be new and original.

    i be you did one, cause you paintskills are very cool and awesome!

    and one quesion fr my logic: shot-holes in a energy-sword?

    The sword isn't made of energy in the movie-verse, it's just heated metal.

    And the bullet holes, as I said in the original post, were supposed to be from Starscream, as the source material I used didnt show the left sides damaged, I just went with Screamer machine gunning him down while he was fighting megs. (like the coward he is)

    I think there is a reversible way of simulating bullet holes. Use acrylic. Yes it won't be exactly, but it would look like it if you know how to get it done. Acrylic hardens and will look like part of the body and then seal it with non gloss varnish, you might get bullet holes or scratches.

    Never tried though. Just my speculations because one website did it and post his toys up.
