Just started collecting TFs and really excited to get into painting. This one was a lot of fun, and as you can see from the pics, there are a couple of things I missed, or have not completed, but felt like sharing this WIP.
I'll take criticism. Oh, and this is the deep desert one, just wanted to have original scheme. :grin:

Welcome to Seibertron and the Transtopia forums!

He looks nice and dirty which is how a tank should look! However, when it's finished we'll want more than two pics. Also, if you want to make him realistic search for pics of camoflage tanks. You'll notice all parts visible in tank mode will be painted with camoflage pattern - no grey metallic parts.

Hey thanks for the welcome and advise! I definitely am not done with him. I sort of slowed down, though, because I am not sure I have the right kind of paint, AND I didn't wash him first, so I'm sort of thinking of starting over. I started a breakaway, and the nose of the plane in all stick from the base coat. So I need to find where to get the right acrylic paints. Then I'll have more pics.

We'll also be wanting pics of the tank mode when you're done!
