This is the base-coated fem bot decepticon called Eleanor. I am completely obsessed with Mustangs and had to do this conversion. Arcee's head was used along with some bitz from a couple Mustang model kits for the scoops and lights. I am going to detail the exterior with black full body racing stripes and of course finish the windows, lights etc. What colors should I finish the bot with though? some purple, light silver? Suggestions welcome. PS I realize this is a little hulky for a female robot but since she's a Decepticon I figured she is entitled to be ugly
This is great! I started one of these a couple of months ago but abandoned it for my Animated Hotrod project. I had actually bought a model of the actual car and was gonna re-shell. If you dont fold the hips up completely and cut off the tabs under the torso so the front of the car lays flat you can pull off a more "curvy and feminine figure" Definately keep us posted with progress, This certainly should be one bad-ass bot!
lol other than SQ7's advice, I'd suggest NOT going with silver and purple as your highlight colors as that'll make it that much harder to distinguish from Barricade.
Love it! Don't use silver or purple like Redline said. I would go with some other colors for accents.
Yes actually it has everything to do with her, i was actually quit torn between making her an Autobot or not lol. Thanks for the paint tips definetly want to separate her from Barricade's ugly mug, I swear he has to be the worst deluxe figure in the line.
Man that is what I cal a femme fatale! I like the whole concept and the dtails look great! How about pearl or metallic pink and gold for the trim. She may be a little butch for those colors though!! Keep us updated for sure!!
