Thanks
Yep, I like both sets of arms too, but after studying the show model carefully, I'm confident that the FE arms are more accurate so I'll probably stick with them.
What I'll likely end up doing is using the stickers from my AM Smokescreen once I get him and then paint the rest, probably swap the heads too. Originally this was just an experiment/proof of concept, but the more I stare at him the more I see 'Smokescreen' so I'm sure my nature will get the best of me and I'll end up going all the way, paint and all.

Not yet, no. I'm going to wait until I have my AM Smokescreen from Takara in-hand. I want to see if I can use any of the stickers before I start applying paint and I'm probably going to do a head-swap with that one as well. I'm also going to need more reference images of Smokescreen from the show so I can make sure to get it right.MasterSoundBlaster wrote:I'm really excited to see the finished product. Are you in the midst of painting it now or is there still more modifications to be made?

Are you going to make him a weapon?
OK. If you can find any info/description/pics of his built-in weapon (assuming his arm(s) turn(s) into one, please let me know and I'll look into creating one or two for him.SKYWARPED_128 wrote:I can't find any google images of him using his guns, although he's wielded two different relics in the show: the Star Saber and that wristwatch thing that allows him to go through walls and stuff.
Thanks ! Yeah, my brush work has been getting a lot better (practice makes perfect I guess). I've never sprayed anything (don't have airbrush or spray paint, just Testors acrylics and some brushes).SKYWARPED_128 wrote:BTW, nice job with the paint. Very smooth coat considering it's hand-brushed.
