The Energon Pub

I pulled him off the shelf and have decided to give him an upgrade. I've been thinking about it for a while now but didn't have the courage to do it. Well, here goes...

Already looks much better than the stock toy. It's almost scary how good these things look with a little work, you know?

I just can't believe I didn't do this a lot sooner. Here's an update:

Wow, I am really really digging the paint job you've given it.

Thanks for the comments!! It's very appreciated guys.

Welp, I finished it today. I attempted to blacken the surrounding areas around the back thrusters so it looks a little dirty. I didn't want too much detail, just a nice clean repaint. I am happy with how it turned out. I won't seal it yet though because I am sure I will add detail here and there.

Nice job. Mine looked so beautiful with his nice new shiny paint I didn't want to spoil him with the rust detail.

Did you paint the internal parts?

I like the way the thrusters look burnt and sooty. This paint job is too good for this rubbish figure!

Thanks! I did paint the entire figure 100% (except the lens for the lights). The internal parts were lightly painted. Thanks for the comment on the sooty thrusters, I really wanted that look and had no idea how to do it so just experimented with it and bingo!

it's not an attempt, it's a Master piece!

Thanks, that is very much appreciated!

Let me just say, this is what we on BZP call: awesomesauce!

(Little side note, this is my first post here!).

Thanks DJ! It's one of my best so far!
