Hey Everyone! This is my first ever repaint/custom I have done! I repainted WFC Megatron into WFC Galvatron! I'm pretty proud of it! Took me a week to complete with drying times. Unfortunately, I don't know how to paint a figure and still be able to transform it back to its alternate mode. I am able to pose this in different ways in robot mode, but if I try to transform him, paint will get rubbed off

Please take a look at my pics and feel free to comment and offer words of advice or anything I should add... Please try not to judge my work to critically, I'm sensitive LOL... Probably will try to sell it! Enjoy!

That is a gorgeous purple!

What you want is something called 'varnish' to protect the paint! You'll need to test it somewhere for compatibility to make sure it doesn't ruin the work you've done so far.

Wow, that looks great! Pity you didn't modify the head at all to give him Galvy's "crown", but I don't know how I would have attempted it either, so good one anyway! I especially like the cannon... it's orange but not too orange.

Great job!

Thanks guys! I really loved this metallic purple! Yeah I really wanted to do something with the head, but I don't have the 1st clue on how to modify. Does anyone know if Classics Galvatron's head would fit? I could try and find one of those figures and do a swap!

Nice work.

This is how I did it.
Shall I say this is a double post?

Just kidding

The key is you have to "thin" out a lot of plastics especially inside his shoulder. I think I've mentioned it in my thread.
