More or less just a repaint. Although, I did sculpt some blast marks into his armor. Tried to make him as grimy and battle-worn as possible.


Vehicle mode

I painted all the rusting, the silver hubcaps, the grey side strip, and the red tail lights. All blast marks were sculpted with an exacto knife and then painted. Also gave him some mud splatter behind the wheels.


Vehicle mode front

Again, more scaring, rust, and mud splatter. Painted the window wipers black.


Robot mode

Gave the entire figure a wash of brown to better outline all the panels and other details. Also painted his stomach grating silver.

Very nice! Give him a severed arm, and he'll be eight out of Spotlight: Kup!
