    Bought TFP Megs' fusion cannon from Fakebusker, using WSF material.

    Note that, it will only be minor repaint on the cannon/sword itself, not the entire figure, as I got lack of free time to dismantle and repaint the entire figure.. :( 
    So I'm aiming for the color of the cannon to be as close to the plastic color of the toy itself. :|

    honestly painting the cannon is more time consuming than Megatron himself lol. the grainy surface makes it difficult to bring out the great details its got. Nevertheless, its a piece to behold and one i would not imagine not having in my arsenal (thanks again Fakebusker u rock) :)

    Oh my goodness. Is that WSF? It smooth enough to fit in with Megatron himself! Good work Caine!

    Looks great. I got 1 for xmas and need to paint it up still, did you seal it at all before painting it? looks pretty smooth for wsf material.

    Yep, it's WSF. I sanded it down, then apply premier grey paint coating as some sort of "enhancement" to it's seemingly fragile surface, before applying the purple and then second layer of grey to seal the deal. :D

    I wish the thing wasn't so friggin expensive in the fine detail finish. I went through two silver metallic Sharpies to give him a proper finish and it came out surprisingly decent. I had hoped to complete the look with this but I just can't bring myself to do it :(
