The repaints look cool - i was a little surprised by the Bumblebee repaint, but that speckled effect is quite clever - is he based on some evil Bumblebee character i dont know about, or is it just your interpretation? At any rate, i like!

Although this Megatron I saw on TFW2005 takes the cake for most G1-accurate - pretty much exactly what I'm intending to do to mine.

REDLINE wrote:I'm finally done with my redo of Classics Megs. Chrome metallic silver, red, and I dyed all the black parts. Clear coat is actually not fully dry, so its a little glossier than it'll end up.
Full-body shot:
I painted up the fusion cannon/scope to look like the original toy's did, ie. dyed the tip black, and painted the silver stripes molded in it.
The rest of him was done up more like the Cartoon. I dyed all moving parts black, but I painted his forearms red (which is actually both toy and toon accurate), and I also dyed the gun barrel black which is a nod to the full-on rifle mode of Megs.
I painted the little details of the back of the forearms red (the sides on the other arm as seen in the fusion cannon picture)
To bring out detail, and be more accurate to Toon Megs, I painted the detailing on both of his sides red, and you should also note that I detailed his chest to look toon accurate as well:
I detailed his legs to be appropriately colored as well. Both Toon and Toy Megs had silver feet. Toon megs calves were all black, while the toy had red inner halves, so I compromised:
I removed the lightpiping plastic and painted it with clear red paint:
Here's the lightpiping at work:

Might I make a small suggestion? I learned this after painting mine. On the chest you'll see diagnal lines there on both the center peice (Wich you painted red) and on the sides of it wich are even longer. If you paint them in black it simulates the G1 look of the toy's chest sticker with the gun deials that look like lots of cursive E's. (The squigley lines on each side of the Con symbol.)
You'll notice that in Stormbringer Don drew Megs with those details as well.
It really does help to bring the G1 homage out of him a bit more.
Hope that helps. I'll show pics of mine with them painted in later!
