I'm still waiting for someone to develop a plastic ring that will clip onto the maw. I'm not brave enough to paint my figure.

HINT HINT 3RD PARTY FOLKS

 

(DO THIS EVERY DAY)

 

yeah that is pretty much why i also painted the handles and slipped them in. i know the spoons catch the light in different ways.

as for paint i just used montana gold cans. it is a high end acrylic spray paint. so out of the can it atomizes the same as an airbrush.

 

I waiting for a 3rd party to make a stand and separate rings for planet mode so people can display both modes

 

That would be cool as well.

For me I'm not willing to make room on my display shelves for TWO massive Unicrons. Plus I want to be able to transform him back and forth. But more power to those who want to display in both modes.

 

Sorry I wasn't clear: my point at the end wasn't meant to be about how spoons (or any curved surface) catch light exactly. It was supposed to be about how plastic spoons (handle and all) take paint vs. how comparatively less finished/smooth plastic--such the kind used for toys--take paint and how that can effect the look of a color coat.

But whatever, not a big deal!  

The big deal is the paint, but you're still being coy! What colors are we looking at here? Capri, Blast Orange, Creme Orange, Citrus, or what? I'm sure folks would find that info useful. And how are you mixing them?

 

I'd be curious as well what ones you were using there. With the picture of the spoons, the one to the left of the blend looks (on my monitor) to be the best. Which colors are you using?

Help out the rest of us who want to paint it too!  

 

wtf they included colored spoons for filler pieces? thats a new low Hasbro, forshame.  

 

I was waiting for LEK to show off his stuff!! Not disappointed, except in the plain head when he does the comparison! Ha ha, oh man, it's right off the screen and then some.

 

Oohh I'm gonna co-sign the folks asking what specific colors you used (Montana Gold has a LOT of orange hues), along with how you mixed colors from two rattle cans.

I feel like I'm gonna be picky about color match as well and this looks good enough to me.

 

I know I wanna know! Holy slag it looks awesome!

 

I think it looks good with the spoons.

 

Oooh. I waa generally opposed to painting my super pricy toy, but if matching the color is that easy.... Im tempted!

 

I'm not sure how long they lasted or how many extra they got but Robot Kingdom has sold out at the $1500 pricepoint.

 

First set is complete, this is the finished product

 

i sprayed the darker orange as a base after a white primer and then lightly dusted the lighter orange over it and it blended itself well.

lol...but seriously i thought i had posted the can tops pic when i posted the cans...oops 

 

Those are amazing!

 

Thanks

 

Thank you. You may now proceed on your way to oblivion.

I'm kidding. But thanks this will help.
