Yes. I'm on the website. It's really good isn't it. Where does he/she get the paints, the polish and the extras e.g cannons and missiles for Blackout.

The paints you can buy from any hobby store, same goes for the polish. The extra cannons are just taken off of other toys.

well maybe you can try those stores that sell small figures or small people without color they usually sell paints to paint them but i think you need a specific paint for tf toys...

well you'll definitely stick and just choose carefully with the paint apps it's a dangerous job to paint toys if you dont have the experience...

I know but if you have the will, you won't give up and you can do a terrific job.

Dude...its not a chain...a hobby store is just a hobby store.

Certain chains of hobby stores might gave individual names, like HobbyCraft, HobbyPlus etc etc, but they are ALL hobby stores...

You need to practice on junk first. Toys you dont care about. Perfect your technique then move on to the stuff you seriously want to customise and keep because if you dont you will do a piss poor job on your figure, it will look like crap and people will laugh at it.

So put in some practice first with stuff you dont care about, like junk parts or old unused toys.

Having the will and having the skill required are two VERY different things.

The official Final Battle Jazz release has no damage on the actual car parts, just the bot.

The paint that's preferred and mostly used is testors fantasy line paint and the brushes you'd want to avoid are those 3 dollar/pound cheap brushes, go to a craft store and look for the camel hair or just as good brush and use those.
