advice for a first time custom?

by NicholeNappi » Fri Aug 27, 2010 5:33 pm

Hello everyone. I'm new here, my name is Nichole.

I've never done a TF custom before and the one I'm doing is probably pretty lame. I recently bought a second Myclone Sideswipe and want to turn the second one into Sunstreaker.

It looks like it would be pretty simple. Sideswipes jet pack can come off and if I turn that upside down it will look close enough to the super charge engine Sunstreaker has. The chest plate comes off too, but I'm gonna leave it as is I think.

I have a few questions though before I really get going on this.

What sort of paint would be the best to use? some parts are like rubber while others are plastic.

And what do you suggest for the head sculpt?

Any help and advice would be much appreciated!

Thank you!
