    One of my 7-year-old son's Xmas gifts was an FOC Prime; he was stoked when I offered to turn him into Orion Pax. So we took a trip to the hobby shop for some paint and brushes and...

    I'm sure this has been done to death, but I can't say I've seen it here.

    I've never painted anything before, so although we're just talking about a little head, it was still kind of a big undertaking for me (thanks to frenzyrumble for the advice and Supersquad7 for directing me to the tutorials).

    Looks neat. Where's the head from? I seem to recognize it but I can't place it.

    looks great! you should paint the body now too! maybe give it a nice gloss finish or glossy, yet battle damaged like the theme of the game. Heck the sky's the limit.(bad metaphor cuz it takes place in cybertron lol)

    If only I could remove the head from a Classics Rodimus, I'd duplicate this bash.
