Well, on the way out the door to go to a friend's place, we stopped and checked the mail. I was thrilled to see an envelope from Reprolabels.com sitting there waiting for me! I ran back up to the apartment and grabbed my figure and proceeded to place the stickers onto it when we got to my buddy's...
This guy has been in the works since last summer, and it's nice to see him finished, although I might 'tweak' it a little bit... The Reprolables are great, but my only issues were:
1) The orange is a shade or three brighter than the paint I used on the figure, but it's not as noticeable as it looks like in most of these pictures! The first two pictures show that you can't even tell there's much of a color difference.
2) The sticker that was supposed to go around the grill wasn't wide enough to fit around the grill. -This one's all my fault, as I was the one who drew up the template to base the stickers off of... Whoops, no big deal though, as I just cut the sticker, and placed a bit of spare sticker sheet above the grill... I might go back and re-do this sticker, or possibly even take an X-Acto knife and remove all the orange bits off the stickers?
Here's his robot mode, front & back... Most of the stickers are recolored from Prime's original stickers, but it's rather obvious that the 'whiskers' are the modified bit, as well as the extra stickers on the outside of his forearms & around his headlights.
This is the whole reason for doing the repaint, it's truck mode... I'm really happy with how well the whiskers turned out, and have to give props to Jimmyjimjim & Dec0y13 again! If it weren't for the two of them (as well as everyone elses' comments & praise), I doubt this guy ever would have left the digibash stage... I figure this is my first
successful repaint, and am very happy with how he looks! As I said, I may go back and touch up the orange sticker in the front of the cab, but I'm thrilled that he turned out as well as he did!
