Hi all. First post here. I love kitbashing and or reapinting figs so I`ll be spending most of my time here. Hopefully meet some new cool people and others who share my passion of bashing. I recognize some of you from other boards. Hi to you as well. Anyway, my first repaint is Deadend custom painted from the 2008 Bumblebee/Cliffjumper Camaro mold. I painted with both acrylic and enamels. The car was sprayed with burnt sienna enamel and the bot mode was hand painted with a combination of acrylic and enamel highlights. I used a gunmetal shade for the dark parts to keep that dark feel and lined some panels as well. I used a color of red from Citadel acrylic paints that very closely mathces the car color for the bot mode. Then I drybrushed steel for the metallic look and went over that with silver for highlighting. Then added small details with a light copper and aluminum. The head if you haven`t figured it out is from Classics Grimlock trimmed here and there and painted to resemble Deadends motocross looking helmet. I gave him a new air-compression blaster as well using Movie Wreckages alt mode gun. I added a barrel to the front of it using styrene tubing for more length.

Looks very cool. I love the head.
I'd pay 20$ for it, since it's actually cliffjunmper with a different head and paint applications on robot parts.
anyway, amazing job you did here.

oh, and another thing!

Poor Grimlock. He had it coming.
