Hi,

I just finished repainting my Exgraver, it still needs some touchups here and there, but I am happy with it. At first I was going to weather it and make it look like a real digger, but instead decided to go for a cartoony look that complemented the cartoony design. This figure is really fun, and I cannot wait to see the completed behemoth that will be Hercules.

I plan on mounting two of each of the black guns on the outside of the forearms to cover the coloured treads in combined mode. Not a huge concern with the dark purple of Scavenger, but Bonecrusher's green may need some hiding when that comes out, lol.

That looks great! I really like how the purple breaks up the solid black legs.

Loving the painted gun too. If only they could squeeze in another paint app, but apps cost money :-(

What paints did you use?

I shoved blu tack carefully into all the cavities and over everything I wanted to stay clear, and sprayed it with Games Workshop Chaos Black undercoat. The green paint is a mixture of GW Scorpion Green and Mithril Silver, the black on his chest is Chaos Black with Mithril Silver, and the purple is Liche Purple with Regal Blue and Skull White in. I made up a whole pot of the purple mix, called it 'Constructicon Purple' I put gloss varnish on the Windscreen and hazard light to give them a different finish.
