Movie Gobots? My head hurts.

And so it should Waaaghlord. Oh, your name just reminded me, I need Games Workshop silver paint. This crappy D-Day paint just runs straight off of Bumblebee. I tried asking a G1 lover what colour to repaint him, and he kept telling me to paint it.........wait for it!.....drum roll please......yellow.

I wouldn't recomend Citadel paints for TFs. They mix well and are easy to work with but they're not really hard wearing enough for toys with so many moving parts, even sealed with a couple of layers of clearcoat. I'm generally using Tamiya acrylics for TF repaints recently. They're a pain to work with in comparison but provide a really durable finish.

Bug Bite.. We need no more Cliffjumpers.

Speak for yourself!

I'd have no problem with putting on another coat repeatedly. Just the paints I was just using were useless. I put some on his bonnet. It just rolled straight off into his headlight...and then I leaned on it and it all went from the headlight into my mouth. Bleugh.

It's been done, sith Classics Jetfire repainted as Silverbolt and the Seeker mould used as the limb bots. The paintwork on the individual bots was superb, although the combined form was somewhat lacking. There should still be a thread on these guys somewhere in the Transtopia forums, but I can't be bothered going looking for it at the moment.

Thanks for the info. I was bored, so I shall now go scour transtopia for it!



Thyunda--- It may contain alcohol, but that doesn't mean you can drink it. That's Jeep-thinking that is

(Unless it's alcohol free paint, but that spoils to the joke)



I just fancy doing the classics CJ head job that TT (I think?) showed us a few pages back.

It looks truly awesome, but I don't know if I can manage it.

I don't know, nor do I want to know, what's in that paint. I fear I'll soon regret drinking it. Maybe alcohol will lessen the pain somewhat....

Well... I'm done with collecting until July 24th. Time to cut up the credit card and pay off that debt.

Wow, I go away for a couple of days and look at all the luvverly posts. Mostly spam as always, so at least we're keeping to form

Just finished formal teaching at uni, now it's 4 weeks to exams and then I am done and dusted. W00t for the real world and real money, that means more TFs all round

I'm going to see Iron Man in 5 hours and well excited, my mate saw it last night and said it was quality

Mmmm spam.

Uni is almost over for me to. Got to hand in my last piece of work on Tuesday, be interviewed about my dissertation on Friday and then do my sole exam the following Tuesday and then its all over.

Iron Man looks good, but I don't think I can be bothered to go and see it.

Me too, it's one of the few films this year I'm actually excited about going to see.

BREAKING NEWS

According to the staff at that branch (Bournemouth) the rest of wave 1 is due to be rolled out over the next few weeks. Happy hunting folks!

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what we call a good day!

*Bows head in recognition of HC*



I wanna see Iron Man. Might see it next week.

I'm interested to see how Jizai toys Ironhide turns out. I'm more than happy with my classics IH, but I'm curious.


EDIT:--


OH GOD IT'S STARTING AGAIN!!

but my card needs a breather, a few more weeks wouldnt have hurt lol. Oh well, looks like im'a have to start checking shops again

Yay! Toy hunt again! Perhaps I may actually leave my house before summer starts, now that I have a good reason

I'm watchin Iron Man tomorrow, looks shiny.

Well I know where I'm going tomorrow... and if they don't have it I can pick up an Iron Man figure instead. It's a long way to Toysrus so I hate coming away empty handed, but last time all they had was Movie Deluxes I didn't want and an Iron Man MK 3 with chipped paint on the face.

The other Toysrus sort of local to me had moved to a tent in their own car park which was a bit useless.

probably pointless seeing as the TrU by me is generally slow at releasing stuff but ill pop up after golf tomorrow methinks.


As for the wii, i agree, its generally better for party games, MK got sooooooooooooooo boring after a few races, and dont get me started on that sonic and mario olympics. Zelda and TW 08 are pretty class though

That Mario and Sonic at the olympic games amazed me.


It's such a **** game, yet it has been sold out round here for ages.



Bow before my new avvy!

Trade it in for Wario Ware. You'll never get tired of that I'm sure!


I know I'm not, and I've had it since the Wii came out!

Woohoo, got my second front page credit for that Animated find (should have been my third by rights, but what the hey). Now I'm just waiting for some negative nelly yank to post something like "no pictures, never happened".
