    I picked up some paint markers a while back, and I've been adding some detail work to a couple of my figures. The standard markers are pretty durable, but the metallic tend to rub off somewhat easily. I want to get an airbrush when I can, but for now I'll make do with what I've got. I've done a few other touchups, as well as a couple more extensive repaints (including repainting Core E Megatron into a red Lucky Draw inspired deco, which I posted a while back) Pardon the messy/chaotic desk btw, living with several cats presents several dangers and cleanliness futilities to my collection/desk/clothes/me. :confused:

    Crankcase is, for some reason, one of my favorite Legacy figures. However, he's a bit bland out the box, so I figured since I'd already bought Nonnef's kit for him, he could do with some deco touchups here and there as well.

    Bot-specific details:
    • Nonnef cannon barrels > gunmetal
    • Top sections of the head > gunmetal
    • Shoulder vents > gunmetal
    • Weapon (Ransack) barrel > gunmetal, magazine > gold
    • Shin arrows > metallic red
    • Inside door panels > gunmetal

    Alt mode details:
    • Windows > metallic blue
    • Bumpers/side skirts > gunmetal
    • Tow hook/winch spool > gunmetal
    • Shoulder joint > black
    • Rear roof > black
    • Gas cans > metallic red
    As I said, I definitely want to eventually get an airbrush and some proper paints so I can make touchups like these smoother and a bit more permanent. Thanks for checking it out!
