    This was a fun project. Went a bit overboard with the color layout snd effects, but I'm very pleased with the outcome.

    The wings and gun are just for bot mode. No way in hell they'd fit in alt mode. There's barely enough room in there for the arms let alone chunky wing parts.

    Excellent job. Awesome amount of detail but I feel the Alt mode, rear windows area, is missing the black lines of a wasp. I see that you do have them on there but under the spoiler could use some extra lines, IMO.

    I like how you paint the vehicle mode. It's gorgeous.

    That's a fantastic mold reuse, and even more fantastic execution. Good work.

    Oh my god that is beautiful. Any Waspinator custom is a win in my book but this just hits it out of the park!

    thats badass, excellent paintwork!
    if you still wanna do something with the wings, an idea ive been messing around with lately is using twist ties to handle partsformation on certain figures, there might not be space for this particular mold but feel free to try it out on some future customs

    That is amazing paintwork. How did you accomplish the honeycomb effect?

    It's very simple and can be accomplished with an airbrush or even a rattle can.
    Basically you lay some lace or mesh on top of the piece, hold it tight from the opposite side to be painted, then spray straight at it. Not too much as it can easily bleed or lift away, so one or two passes is all it needs.

    THis is inspired as a concept, and the paintwork is fantastic. I love the effect on the roof. So cool seeing new life breathed into older figures like this.

    That's some of the best paint I've seen on a custom fig in a long time.

    Really nice work - and it's a great use of a great mold.

    Alt would make for a nice livery in Gran Turismo.
