I'm in no hurry to rush him, he's awesome at what he does, but its been a couple months now and my curiosity is getting the better of me....Andy AVAILABLE FOR CUSTOMS COMMISSIONS - PM WITH INQUIRIES  Click the main banner to get more info on REDLINE, the custom character, and the kitbash! |

I can't see the dying process for the white limbs to be overly difficult, but you've always got here and Transtopia for help. The board of fail - where thought goes to die |

Next up: Paint rims silver, paint hips black, paint lower legs silver, and switch out the white gun for a silver one from BT Smokescreen... I was being retarded when I stripped off the black paint from Ricochet's hips... I needed them to be black...  |

Just wondering if I really need to take out that gold Autobot badge on his left shoulder and put a silver Autobot sticker in place of it... Also thinking about painting the hilts of the swords, but Storm Shadow wouldn't like that... But here's a recap of process: Stripped all of the paint off his head and repainted it... Stripped off all the flames... Stripped the paint off his crotch and hips... Painted his lower arms and lower legs silver... Painted his hips black... Painted his gun silver... Detailed his seats... Removed Ricochet from the vanity plate... Painted his rims silver... Stripped the defrost stripes from the rear windshield... Added his swords... Now the question everyone's been waiting for: How the HECK am I going to do the decals??? And the answer is I have no idea...  But I need to make him look like this with the decals: http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...ire-NewSig.jpg |

| Kitbashed Join Date: May 2004 Posts: 3,276 Location: Database Error | I would carefully mask off, and paint the side swooshes. After that, get some white decal paper (the Testors paper isn't that great, get something better at the hobby shop) And print your decals out on that. Give yourself plenty of black border around the edges, then cut as close to the gray as you can. You'll probably have to cover up the edge of the paper, on the decals. A fine tipped detailing brush, and a bottle of black paint will take care of that. You could probably thin the paint a little. to help keep the finish smooth. Once the decals are on, and your happy with them; clear coat it. Paint the swooshes first! You wouldn't want decals that big, on a toy. And, they would make for fairly large decals. Once they're painted, you can experiment with your graphics program to match the paint. You could also do the decals as just the black borders on clear paper, and put them down over gray. But, you'd have to paint most of the alt mode gray, first. Then you'd have to clear coat it, mask the swooshes and decals, (you don't want to put tape over bare decals) then paint it black. |
