I've got some advice: Try and find a cheap model kit of an A10 that's the right size. Also see if you can find small toy soldiers with gatling gunsTigerhawk7109 wrote:I'm loving all those projects, especially Vos! I'm going to try and turn a Sixgun into Cybertron Wing Saber.

First off, thank you so much!
About Wing Saber, here's what I have to say:
I was able to get away with leaving all the Sixguns' pins in except the ones on their shoulders - if the upper torso's going to be one color you can also leave them in. For context, I left these pins "naked" on Vos.
I removed all the screws and used an Xact-o knife on the heads and lower legs. I'd recommend putting the lower leg halves together when painting so they don't have an unsightly gap like my Metroshot's, and being very careful to follow the seam on the figure's head.
Also, I'd recommend spraying the insides of the figure's hips so no unwanted red is visible, and ESPECIALLY sanding the red 5mm pegs. I thought I sanded some of mine enough but there's still serious paint rub. I'm not sure if the issue is avoidable, at least with my cheap Rust-oleum sprays.

For another, Six-Gun is a bit more common. On top of that, a decent chunk of Six-Gun is white plastic, which makes him easier to repaint.
