    EDIT: better pics

    Siege Apeface.
    I just had to sort that White plastic out.
    But I was always struck by Apefaces depiction in a UK Headmasters prose story, when Zarak observes that the Decepticons around him give him a wide bearth. That his joints were dirty and covered in old dried grease and oil. That he was disgusting. The idea of poor personal hygiene for a TF was great.
    Anyway, inspired by the Netflix redecos I decided to represent this. In keeping with the production paintjob brief I deliberately left some of the parts plain.
    Added a modified Matrix Workshop weapons kit to him.
    I love his gorilla mode.

    Thanks guys.

    I dunno. Washed it. Lightly sanded it with wet and dry just to take the surface off, painted with Citadel paints and cured for a week in an airing cupboard. Just usual routine. Transformed a lot now and holding up fine.

    Very nice.

    Side note: Blot was also depicted as having poor hygiene. Both served under Scorponok.

    That did turn out great. My favorite has to be the nosecone. That part really sets off his jet mode, as does the white back near the cockpit. Well done!
