This new generation Metroplex feature so many detail that are hard to see with it plan stock appearance. I have given Generation Metroplex a total repaint from head to toe. The stock normal version was just to plain. This figure had being taken complete apart to give him the best possible paint finished. It has being painted into a true white color (classic white) more to G1 color scheme style. Suck adding the red accents colors. To avoid looking to similar as stock version; I have taken steps to weather him form top to bottom and all interior pieces. The weather has given this Titan a more define look to all it hidden details. I also have added additional access color to give him a new generation look with bright orange to mimic his fall of Cybertron appearance. I love working on this great figure and have plans for other ones

You sir are amazing doing such kind of work on this kind of big figure. Great job. :APPLAUSE:

I had once painted Unicron and my hands were tired and used a lot of paints.

Very very nice work, my metroplex is on its way and I'm very tempted to attack it with my airbrush.

Can I ask you about your technique to achieve the weathered white look. Could you share your steps in creating this look? Or if you had link to a tutorial that would be very useful.

Again very nice work and I hope you don't mind if I use yours as a reference if I attempt a paint job on my newest addition.

I'd be scared to even use a Sharpie on Metroplex, much less paint, for fear of defacing him, thus devaluing him. :-s

Amazing

If Hasbros can paint Metroplex like 10% of yours, it can sell well.

WOW! He is superb! I hate to think how much time you spent on this project - it's taking me forever to repaint a single FOC combiner limb!

Those low-angle photos make him look truly massive and very intimidating. Top paint, brilliant execution, and great photography. I especially like the restrained weathering and the "day glo" patches.

Amazing. Bravo!
