Very nice. You have really improved this figure. What color is that you used for her trim? It looks really good against the blue.

Thanks, I used Testors Metallic Red for the detailing.

I still can't get over how much better your detail work makes this mold look. Just re-watched some of season 1 and your Arcee looks so much more screen accurate than the stock one. By the way do you use enamel or acrylic paints?

ive been watching them too and i see some more details i can put in. it amazes me that hasbro can do such a wonderful job on tooling and just be so lazy on the paint job. arcee's sculpt feels as close to perfect as we can get, just in desperate need of some paint to bring it out.

I know what you mean. Great molds and all they need is a few paint apps to breathe life into them, but instead they get left sort of bland. On the bright side I guess that leaves customizers like us with something to paint

yea, it almost makes me wish they went Takara's route, with no paint apps and just let us do the job ourselves, giving decales to those who dont want to paint them

Oh yeah, that looks awesome! Your paint apps really help set off how great this mold is.
