So a lack of self control later and some weathering here it is.also before and after

    Well, thanks a lot for making me suddenly feel unsatisfied with what I believed was a pretty much perfect figure that I bought.

    You should paint the top of his thighs white to create the illusion of a full waist. Plus the designs are the same as the vintage waist.

    thanks

    haha, thanks?

    Hmm I had that thought, but had a slight feeling it will turn out a little like Hardhead's boxer short look.

    Love it! Can you share what paints and techniques (airbrush, dry brush, etc) you used?

    Haha , just started out not Long ago so I'm no expert but sure.
    Techniques wise I used black washing and rubbing to stain and hopefully get panel lining done, dry brushed a few areas. I don't have an airbrush kit so I used my trusty paintbrushes for the rest.
    As for paints for this not sure for others but I swear by clag? Non toxic arcylic paint for my washes and panel lines it comes in a 250ml bottle and it's pretty cheap. And mostly tamiya's paints for this specifically light gun metal and mica silver. Hope that answers everything

    Awesome! Your paint work really adds to this already awesome figure. I especially like the trailer.

    You aced the black-wash, that's for sure. For just starting out not too long ago, you're well on your way to becoming one of the more recognized customisers on the boards - your work is fantastic!

    I'm waiting for Reprolabels to give metallic/chrome bits to the right areas, so I agree that the TT version is a bit lacking, compared to the original TT G1 version.

    I didn't know the PE parts were out yet?

    Beautiful work.

    Especially dig the glowing eyes and weathering on the colors.

    oh I pre-ordered but yeah it's out already. Regarding to it being lacking , hmm sure it is compared to the toy. But if compared to the anime I think it's good . And I've not purchased reprolabels before , does it last well over the years ?

    Thank you
