We all know how blank and lack of paints he was. So I added much, much more details to make him more screen accurate. But due to his very tight spots on the arms and legs, these paints are quite easily scratchable if I don't care enough during transformation. Here are the pictures. Enjoy and comments are welcome. Oh, by the way I just noticed I forgot to put on his insignia.

That is some nice detailing. You really brought Ratchet to life with one. Great color usages as well.

Ehhhh, I mixed them. Don't really know the ratio since I just mix and feel. These are white, black and gun metal.

And tooth sticks. I used them quite a lot on this figure. :lol:

Yeah, nice work, he looks great. It's such a shame that those zigzag lines don't end up on the outside of the forearms but I don't think there's anything that can be done about that.

It's also a shame that this guy won't show up in England until about Christmas...

True. I truly hope the forearm part can all be red but the pulse line is much more important for the vehicle mode.

That's amazing work! :APPLAUSE:

I hope one day I'll be able to paint ECG tracings on something so small. I'm holding it in my hand now and just blown away. :BOWDOWN:

I accepted that Reprolabels will have to come to my rescue, but doubt that their emergency lights stickers will compare to that paint job.

You can probably give marking tapes a try. Just cut the tapes and form the line, then paint. Since I am able to draw straight line with my hand, I didn't use tapes but just painted with spotter brush and then fix the sides and edges with tooth stick.
