Over the last week I've been on a "vacation" trip with my wife and kids to the in-laws (her family) house in Michigan, a 12 hour drive from my home. I kept most of my movie anticipation buried deep down on the inside, but managed to find every AoE figure I wanted up there and spent the week painting them every chance I could without looking like an ass. Just got home and I had some touch ups to do on most of them after seeing the movie (which BTW was pretty great), but here are the pics I took before we left Michigan. Made prime's backpack removable with tight snap on and off just like I did with the 07 Voyager Prime. Ahhh... memories. UPDATE: Prime in alt mode with the touch ups, Strafe bot mode, and Slash completed (removed old outside slash pic). Final Update: Added pics of Slash's bot mode, Grimlock, Drift's alt mode, and Crosshairs, and Slug.
Well I took nothing at all with me on the trip and my selection of hobby stores there was limited to Michaels, so I used only a can of Krylon fusion black, about 8 bottles of those small testors model paints that cost about $1.50 each, and a pack of cheap brushes. Nice to back in my shop with the good stuff now. OH! And a bottle of black and silver water based acrylics for the rubber parts.
Great set! How did you get the paint to stay on Crosshairs' trenchcoat? I had a lot of issue with mine. Please let me know, thanks!
Thanks guys! On rubber like this, no matter what you use you'll need to handle it more carefully, but I used Tamiya Park Green acrylic brush paint.
