thought id post pics up of my first custom, as some of my topics ive been asking for a lot of help and some info regarding doing an evil jetfire
well, ive sort of finished it, but im having to stop as i need my work bench due to my car engine needs fixing and my airbrush has packed up
so next week ill buy a new airbrush and start again when i get the car sorted but for now im happy with the outcome, though there are some major mistakes
i used tamiya acrylic paints, and clear for the sealer
i did want it grey but couldnt find a gre i wanted so he went black with purple, so kinda like skywarp colours, fast packs are dark grey, but i need finish them as i missed some masking when doing the black and they need clear coating aswell
the purple is game workshops purple which dires flat instaed of gloss, overall for my first i dont think i did too bad lol, though i need to work on my sanding and filling and using the correct grade of paper as there is a few prep marks in there still
so i hope you like here some pics
how it started

and how it finshed

and don't smoke so much, did it cost that many nerves? Looks good matey, not a fan of the colour TBH but the finish is impressive.

I wouldn't call that an evil Jetfire. It looks more like Skywarp disguising himself as a Valkyrie.

looks really good, careful with the gerwalk mode, jetfire could get in trouble lol, http://www.lilformers.com/index.php/2006/10/30/lil-formers-1 8-jetfire/
but then again evil jetfire would welcome the trouble!

RichyX. That's an incredible job. Taking it all apart, painting, putting it back together and it transforms; amazing. I could never undertake something like that without royally bunging it up.
I have one small criticism. Across the nose part of Evil Jet Fire, right where the cockpit begins, you have a band of gray. I think it would look better if you would paint over it with black.
I can find no fault with anything else. To me, it's the only sticking point that I can see. It's the only part you painted that doesn't seem to fit with the colour scheme you have going. Dammit, the rest is near perfect!
