    Hey everybody, this is my first attempt at a painting on a transformer figure. I chose G2 Smokescreen, because while cleaning out the dirt accumulated from ages of play, I decided I might as well try since he was already disassembled.

    The paint is an orange wash of Vallejo orange, and a mix of Vallejo lime green, blue, and concrete gray. The Blue-green mix is trim on the wings, and nose cone, while the wash is the panel lining. I also painted the seat inside of the cockpit brown, but the red visor nulls the effect.

    Gloss coat was a little bumpy and rough looking unfortunately. It's some kind of unmarked can I used for WH40K a while back.

    I got him from Grimlock1994, he has a ton of stuff ripe for painting!
