    Thanks! It's just a mix of testor's acryllic blue and silver with just a touch of green and white. I finally found a good way to mix those without wasting a whole bunch. The blue, gold & black parts also have a layer of future over top.

    I was inspired by your typo in the NC@TFW thread! :D

    SimplyGriff is another board member on TFW, so the title is a bit of a shot at that.

    As for the bot, the first shot is very "Hello Sweetie!". Really like the color chosen. The yellow shows up a little washed but I think it's because of the camera against the white balance. The best part is that the alt mode doesn't look fudged. It looks like that could really work as a Cybertronian buggy.

    I also like that you left off the banana gun. That sissy pistol isn't good for male or female characters. She could use some additional weapons though. Like a book that turns into a bazooka. Or Targetmaster Glyph has a nice touch.

    Thanks!

    The gold is actually a mix of gold, silver and white. I wanted a lighter, softer gold than, say, the ankle pieces on the original. Didn't want her face too dark. Hopefully you'll be able to see the gold in person before too long! :D 

    Yeah, not a big fan of the droopy-wang-lego-minifig head gun. I thought about trying to get her some sciency-looking accessories, but she doesn't have anywhere to store them. I guess she could use altmode Scalpel! It's not like I ever transform him.

    Very interesting. This is my intoduction to the 3 finger technique. I'd never seen that before but it looks like you pulled it off well. I agree with Dormamu about adding some weaponry although I'm not sure how you would go about it. Could you use the backpack to make a shield for her? I never got this mold so I don't know how that would look.

    Anyhow, this looks like a really nice custom. Your fembot collection must require it's own shelf by now. How many do you have?

    This mold is so gay that it actually works as a Glyph. Awesome idea!

    I like the idea but it makes me think that WFC BB is a transgender now.

    This is a real nice custom, it looks surprisingly sassy.

    Oddly, with the way you did the silver and tan on the feet/legs, I would now wanna see someone make a Nancy out of this mold. XD Something about the build as a fembot seems... fitting.

    Looks cute! I always thought that mold had a very feminine vibe.
