The Energon Pub

When I first saw the WFC Prime, I thought he had a "batmobile" vibe to him. Then someone on one of the TF sites made a comment on how pointy his "ears" were. That was the moment I decided that I would customize him. I removed the pipes and replaced them with wings, added barbs to his forearms, and modified the chest to remove the windows and change it into a bat symbol. Hope you like it.

Oh hell yes...

Interesting!

Very cool! (and nice catch, too!) You might thin that paint a bit in future.

I use Model Master Acrylics and it seems like I can't thin it enough before it loses its adhesion properties. Is there another paint you recommend? Could it be my brushes? I was considering using Formula P3 since I had seen it recommended for great pigment. Or maybe I can use that adhesion promoter with the thinned paint? I just kept having trouble with the thinned acryl not wanting to stick and not really being black anymore. I use the thinner from testers made for it so I don't know. :/ I am open to any product recommendations you can make.

That is pretty cool dude nice job. It kinda reminds me of the "batman of the future" cartoon that came out ages ago

Are you familiar with painting wargaming miniatures (e.g., Warhammer)? I would recommend using Citadel paints (just as good and just as expensive as Privateer Press and more readily available) but you'll have to use a primer to get it to stick properly. You could try paint from the Citadel Foundation line.
