I also customized some of the Decepticons. For Megatron, I spray painted him silver, then added metallic purple paint. I repainted the right arm red and black and used Ariel Lemon's Desecrated Vambrace. Anyone have a spare decepticon reprolabel?

 

I'm Airachnid was difficult. I removed the helicopter parts then covered her back with polystyrene. I proceeded to attach the hand from the RtS Cyclonus for a port for her spider legs. I then repainted all her purple and added gold and silver paint.

 

For Soundwave, I added a blue wire to be placed into the slots in laserbeak's wings. I added silver and dark grey paint on Shockwave. Bits of purple were added to both. On Dreadwing, I added a fading gold effect on his shoulder find and cuffs. Silver paint was applied to his cockpit.

 

Knockout was almost completely repainted with a different shade of red and maroon. Which made it difficult to add his red to silver fade he has on his doors. (Bounty works wonders for this.) I added his black, gold, and silver details as well. Sorry for the bad pictures, I am 14 and can't afford a proper camera.

 

think youo should thin your paint and work on lines. but it looks good! i use a rubber eraser to help with line work and a fine needle to help rub away tiny marks

 

Thanks for the tips! Do you mind telling me specifically where the paint looks to thick, in your opinion? It may just be my lighting as it looks smooth and shiny in hand.

 

Loving that Airachnid and Knockout.

 

Love the tendrils on Soundwave.
An easy way to get a Decepticon symbol on your Megatron is to print one out at the right size, trim it to fit, and use a mix of Elmer's glue and water (1:1 ratio) to glue it in place, then use Future polish or clear nail polish to seal it in place. Much cheaper than reprolabels.

 

Thanks!
