    The first is a test run of some vinyl based faction symbols. I wanted to try this without the using a water slide decal or a metalic reprolabel. I felt like it gave it an okay textured look. So my first trial was on botcon thundercracker, i hated that a clearly g2 figure was given a shattered glass symbol.

    Up Next is a paint experiment with the spazstick mirror chrome. For the test i used an abandoned project i bought from Customizer Thyvipera, its a figure i've wanted to do eithor way. Saddly the chrome and the vinyl didn't go well together which lead me to have to do a dull coat to get the final vinyl detailing i wanted. Most of it was done with sprey can work. Theres a chrome pre vinyl pic as well. Hopefully all of these test will be worth it with the reason i'm testing all of this stuff.

    Action Master Thundercracker was late Euro G1, not G2.

    Still, nice decals.
