Snapdragon:
- Added putty w/clearcoat (to harden) to beast mode eye holes and painted them "Tamiya Color Gold Leaf".
- Painted faux beast mode "eyes" on robot face gold.
- Added reprolabel Decepticon symbols to wingtips in alt-mode (pending).
- Painted recessed areas of guns with "Mr. Clear COLOR GX Clear Violet" paint.


Apeface:
- Painted over cr@pple-damage areas with "Acrysion Black", clear purple (see above) and "Mr Color Clear Red" paints respectively.
- Added "Tamiya Color Flat Aluminum", with either "Tamiya Color Clear Yellow" or clear red (see above) for details.
- Added clear red/purple (see above) to other areas for colour balance/detailing (usually small planes or recessed areas).k
- Added "Tamiya Color Clear" as a topcoat to all painted areas (including Snapdragon).



More pics (alt-modes, etc pending).

Gorilla mode.

Not much has changed, although the red visor has a clear red coat and the cr@pple-damage is no more.

(I might have to repaint and add more clear coat to the robot mode "belt" details, as the legs clip over them and rub them (due to the awfully designed white parts not lining up easily together, causing the black parts to disconnect and rub the belt).

Jet Mode

You might be able to see the clear red coat on the nosecone, and clear red detailing on some of the wing panels. I've added a repro insignia over the old one.
modes).



(Btw, I NEVER want to transform this awful, awful toy again. Whoever designed it needs to be demoted. It is like pulling teeth trying to get the white panels to align and getting the cockpit to peg into the two holes for jet mode required brute force. Snapdragon, by comparison, is a JOY to transform back and forth between the three modes.
