So having finally got my airbrush setup reconstructed, and having all the paints and tools I needed, I thought it was about time I got my Bugbite redone into the police car Bumblebee I'd mentioned about. A night's spraying, a slight modification to attach the cherry light and a few stickers later, and he was ready for duty!

The black was applied with an airbrush with Mr. Aqueous Color Gloss Black, with lots of masking. The light is just a red LED attached by drilling through the roof and using the wires as anchors to glue to the inside. The stickers aside from the Autobrand are from Reprolabels/Toyhax's Prowl sheet.

I still need to paint his new weapon (a Shapeways WFC plasma cannon) and I might paint his rear indicators/brakelights, and also possibly paint his horns up like warning lights. But that aside he's complete, and I'm really happy with him! Possibly the first custom I've done I can say without a doubt I'm proud of.

This custom sound simple, but that was a lot of work! And the results are just perfect!
Your paint look so clean it's as if it was bought as is in store! Nice. :APPLAUSE:

This bee would need a partner. I wonder if there's a nice bikeformers who would be in scale, look classic G1 enough, to be customised as a Highway patrol bike? Hey, why not Spike Witwicky as the bike? 8-)

Slight update, but he has a gun now! Nothing special paintwise, just airbrushed Molotow Liquid Chrome over a 3D printed gun from Ariel Lemon's selection of WFC (High Moon, that is) guns.
