    Is it worth it to touch these guys up? I dunno, but it was fun. Recently discovered metallic Sharpies and I’ve been going a bit wild.

    Hell yeah, dude.

    Stuff like this is a unique challenge because the plastic is weird and the details are there but unpainted.

    I really like seeing projects like this one because it's just so different from the repaints of mainline product that we usually get. Also, really nice work too.

    Thanks man! I feel like the mainline deluxes are a little too much, but I add small details here and there. I also did some touch ups on DOTM legends scale Dreads. Might throw them up here too.

    I have a spare Movie Starscream set aside for repaint as Skywarp to go with Screamer and "Totally Not Thundercracker," that count?

    The only problem I’m finding is the soft plastic they used on the Tiny Turbos doesn’t let the metallic sharpie fully dry... it’s staying a little tacky weeks later. Shame.

    Maybe try a primer-coat of something else first? Though that heads more "repaint" than "touchup"...
