Just finished overhauling the paint on my Fall of Cybertron Voyager Soundwave. Very happy with the results!

Here's a side-by-side with the original deco:

Also added some paint accents to Laserbeak, and IMO this little guy needed it:

Here's my boombox mode that is slightly different than most I've seen on the web. Personally, I like this better, as everything tucks in nicely and he sits very flat.

Hanging with the minions...

Cheers! Would love to know what you think!

Many thanks!

It's amazing how big of a difference a little bit of paint can make to a figure. I got started with very tiny changes to some figures (painting wheel rims silver, for example) until I got comfortable with the techniques, and then started going bigger. If you want to start, I'd suggest starting small on some cheaper figures until you get your technique down, then take on bigger projects. It's really fun!
