    Hey all,

    Nothing particularly fancy here. Just dressing up the Rodimus Unicronus figure to look more like the Shattered Glass character that it is based on. I'm going to get some SG emblems for the figure later, but right now I wanted to tackle the (lack of a) goatee on Nemesis Hot Rod. Rather than simply paint on the mustache, I opted to cut, shape, and glue some styrene onto it to give the details some depth. Also did a little panel lining on the grey parts to bring out the details that were passed over on paint apps.

    And even though I may never display the figure as Rodimus Unicronus ever again, I felt like I had to do something about his visor, just in case. After stripping the horribly thick factory application of red paint on the visor, I airbrushed some Molotow Liquid Chrome for backing before applying some Tamiya clear red.

    I'm hoping to fabricate a buzzsaw for the left hand to complete the look sometime soon.

    Thanks for looking!

    Excellent work! Especially on molding the 'stache for Hot Rod.
