DOTM Voyager Sentinel Prime - Paint Overhaul

Motto: "Who and what I am, I hide from the enemy."
Weapon: Electro-Disruptor
Finally got around to adding some much needed paint love to my DOTM Voyager Sentinel Prime. As many others have noticed with this mold, a fresh paint job makes it look a hundred times better. Judge for yourself!

Standard issue Tamiya acrylic paints:
Gloss red, gloss black, flat black, metallic grey, flat aluminum.
Repro labels silver outline Autobot symbols x2 small, 2x large
Custom cut '316' labels using Avery silver inkjet labels & my wife's Silhouette Cameo craft cutter. (Thanks honey!)

Side by side with original deco:

Good job, Jones! The bright red really brings the whole fig to life! Love the decals, too!

This is one of the few times faux kibble actually works to the advantage of the figure, as it allows you to paint a screen-accurate chest-plate.

BTW, did you seal the paint with a clear coat? Acrylics can be prone to scratching unless you primed or sanded the plastic first, or sealed it with a clear coat.
