Hey guys!

Here is my repainted Movie Jazz... Finally complete!

Jazz was primed with automotive primer and basecoated with black automotive paint. The main silver/gray color of the car is "burning platinum", from automotive paint brand DoIt (made in Spain). The silver/gray robot parts (head, thighs, shinguards) are painted in a mix of Tamiya acrylic gunmetal and metallic gray. Drybrushing was done with Tamiya chrome silver to give more depth and a worn-out look to the robot parts. I also added details in copper, red, and clear yellow/gold.

While taking pictures, I noticed that I forgot the yellow/orange turn signal lights on top of the front tires. There are some other things that I can improve on, such as the paint apps on the headlights and taillights. Nevertheless, I'm very proud of this custom, as I think that I was able to turn a really crappy (to me at first) figure into something cool.

Thanks for looking! I hope you like it!

Damn, now that is cool. I said in one of the threads that I thought Prime was my favorite out of the movie Autobots you've done. However, this Jazz looks so darn good I think I have to change my vote. He looks like a whole new figure! I was always a bit disappointed in how he looked but you've really done him a great justice. Aside from the headlights the paint apps look perfect!

Thanks! A lot of people (myself included) like this one more than the others, too.
