    It looks SO cool. And usually I dislike battle damage repaints. What paints did you use?

    That looks great. I'm thinking about doing a non-transforming one that's cut in half likIe in the episode. I might use magnets to hold the pieces together.

    Ah I hoped that the 'how to's' would! I know personally that I love seeing the how to on other projects almost more than the finished project itself.

    You're welcome!

    Ah I never thought of that, yeah I wonder why they didn't?! I really like how it looks. I hope my custom cliff doesn't make you look at your Terrorcon Cliff in vehicle mode with disdain now....

    Ha ha!

    Seriously though, if the bonnet horn is made of the same softish plastic, a craft knife will slice through it almost TOO easily, so cut away!

    Ah really?! YES! That's such great feedback. It's actually odd, even though I MYSELF painted it, when I hold it in my hands my brain automatically tells me that it's heavy and metal. It's funny how the eyes and brain try and make sense of what they see even when you 'know' different.

    That battle damage is just magnificent! If it is possible, could you show a picture of him with some vehicons dragging him away? :D 

    Edit: Just reread the first post and realized that you haven't been collecting much (Which means you probably can't post the pic). I guess I was in too much awe by this custom to realize this.

    Ah really?! Nice! oh that's cool that my damage work snuck into your liking zone.

    Here's what I used for the mod (it was all Tamiya brand paints and primers)

    - Tamiya plastic primer on all parts (except clear plastic pieces like the windscreen etc)
    - Tamiya Acrylic TS-8 colour red for the red respray
    - Tamiya Acrylic Clear over that red
    - For dark greyish silver I mixed: XF1 flat black with XF2 flat white with a drop of X11 chrome silver
    - For dirt and rusty details in the joints and 'metal' parts, I used X9 Brown and XF9 Hull red thinned down
    - For the burns I used some light dusting of XF1 flat black
    - and finally for the 'chipped' paint, I used the darkish grey mix above, and then finished the chipped details with X11 chrome silver.
    - Then I finished the whole thing off with a final coat of the same Tamiya Acrylic Clear to protect it from human transformation playing hands.

    See ya!

    Oh man, you have GOT to do that! That would be really cool. And if somehow it can still transform by using the magnets, then double bonus!

    Ah yes, as the member above said, and I replied, do it! That would be so cool.

    And thanks so much for the comment, I love hearing that others have enjoyed my little mod.

    Wow, this is really incredible. The damage apps are some of the best I've seen.

    Amazing job! I can't wrap my head around how easy it seems for you guys to pull pins out like that.
