Nice pics!
Given what she did to Crosscut, she's in trouble if you ever get Road Rage.

Awful quality pic but I liked it. Will redo it anyways when Blackout's new hands arrive.

This one just cropped from a comparison pic of SS32 and Battle Blades/Revenge Optimus Prime. I just really like the way he's posing here. He's so cool.

I've barely added any paint at moment. I just did the round things on the shoulder pads and then added a teeny bit on the toes and crotch cos I ran out. It's mostly just his natural colour at moment.

Paint was Tamiya Titanium Silver as it was cheapest one I could find locally and need to buy some more of cos I used a lot of it on RotF Megatron a while back.

Need to buy some more red and blue too cos there's a lot of bits need correcting.

I'd really like to see some more images of parts painted with that color and in a color neutral lighting. Have you already posted pics of your RotF Megs or could you do that, please? :roll:

Ok. It's not brilliant cos I'm not a professional but I like how it shines better and looks more metallic than the grey plastic he came as.

(Just noticed I used a bit of the paint on Prime's thighs before I ran out. I really want to add more to the top area of the thighs where they've put far too much blue)

Oh and found a pic of my Megatron when I first got him so before paint. Wow, til looking back at this I didn't realise how different he looks now with the paint. I'm happy with my effort after all.

Somehow the paint looks way brighter on Megs than on Optimus :-?

And Optimus' hands are painted, too (actually every part that was just unpainted grey plastic before).

I need to take some nice pictures of my SS RotF Megs, too. I painted him completely with a silver and gunmetal grey dry-brush effect and added and highlighted some Details. But I'm still waiting for good light conditions. Darn winter [-(

I haven't painted Optimus' hands. I only had a smidgey bit of paint left and as I said I did the shoulder thingies first as they were blue/red before and that bugged me. I didn't do the hands yet cos I wanted red paint to do his cuffs first (which are red on SS05 but grey on this SS32 for some reason).

Sounds like you put way more effort into your Megatron than I did. Would be nice to see it.

back on topic

Big guns!

(Seems TLK Hound is actually too big for Studio Series scale and he's supposed to same height as Ironhide but actually is way taller. I had to have Hound squat a fair bit to be closer in height.

They just look to be in the same color as the other parts you painted so I thought you painted them, too.

Everybody starts small

I have some (I would say) pretty nicely painted/customized figures so far I'd like to take pictures of but so little time and I need a well lighted place to make pictures. I prefer daylight on a sunny day but those are rare in this season of the year.
And I have a lot of Projects to finish like my Abominus. Hun-Gurrr's ready but the other's...

I definitely need better lighting.

He finally got his little teddyshark

And now some detail images

And here a before and after comparison (the inside of the upper thigh armor pieces is still unpainted)

Thanks, man

Keep on doing with the great work (both posing and customizing), too

Somehow the last picture I just took spontaneously and after being frustrated from tha bad lighting turned out to be the best one.

(I thought I already posted that but I guess I just forgot to click Submit (again). :roll:

Well my "definitive movie" SW is the movie the best figure, he's purdy. But I don't really collect movie figs, just Soundwaves. I was looking at the galleries to get a ballpark idea how to TF Satewave and I was reminded I really want that movie advanced Darkside Soundwave.

Twitter has informed me that today was Appreciate a Dragon Day. I don't get it, but I took this picture because it seemed like a good enough excuse to take pictures of Ripclaw! :BH-PREDACON:
