    My first ever custom. Just threw paint where I thought it would POP and removed the thruster bits. Lemme know what you think.

    Astounding! Awesome job, and amazing paint work for your first custom! Did you have any prior experience with painting? ((Model kits or something))

    I like the clean look without the thrusters. How hard was it to remove?

    This looks very nice. Some good improvements to an already good mold.

    I think a little bit of black on the chin guard would make this look excellent.

    No, just drawing.

    No, 3 screws under the engines.

    The white is a Testors acrylic I found at Ollie's. Still trying to figure out a way to clean up those hard to reach crevasses. I finally figured out to let it dry for a while between coats.

    Here's some work I've done on SIEGE Megatron:

    All of this feedback is very much appreciated. Thanks guys!

    I'd recommend tamiya acrylic white, really works much better than testors

    As I get into the hang of it I'm trying CHEAP stuff till I figure it out and find a rhythm. Need to find a few things to paint at once so I stay busy while one part is drying.
