If he had been like that from the start, would've been an instant-buy. Alas, I'll just stick to good ol Astrotrain.
It's Testor's gloss yellow. About 10 coats. It sucked, and it doesn't look as clean in hand as it does in the photos. Never doing yellow again without a good coat of white primer first. Live and learn.
10 coats? WTF. By hand or airbrush? I usually use Krylon Fusion, two coats does it fine most of the time.
This looks great! I hope Takara does something similar. When painting yellow, I usually go back and forth with white/yellow/white/yellow etc... You usually end up with a nice bright yellow. Any vehicle mode pics?
This is how he should ahd looked in the first place... Now, somebody should do a Marvel Comic or G1-Carton version of Sentinel a we are done.
Nice paint job. HasTak should re-release this guy as Raiden by painting each section of the armored train in the color of one of the Trainbots. I don't know how he'd look in the other modes though. I'm not familiar with his transformation.
Looks like canary yellow but what's that red? Love it and I think I'll do the same. Thanks for the inspiration.
