    Here is my take on Deep Cover using the MP-12 mold. This is an awesome figure for customizing. I painted him in metallic black and blue with silver and red highlights. All his markings are custom printed decals. Credit goes to Stormbringer for the original idea. I decided to remove the large autobot symbol on his hood, as I think it is counter to his name to announce to the world that he is an autobot.

    Any advice to other trying to repaint this figure? I just got one and am a little intimidated at all the pins to remove.

    Looks great, but one suggestion: use some "daylight" bulbs to light your custom for photos, then reduce the glare using the exposure reduction setting on your camera. With a dark custom on a dark background, it's difficult to see the work you put into it. You can also difuse the light with a sheet of white paper or pillow case, that's what I use.
