Hi guys! I literally have no idea where to put this but there seems to be several threads about different areas of one figure so I thought starting a new thread would seem ok.
This is for all you people wanting to repaint Soundwave's yellow visor red.

MP Soundwave looks so much better with the red visor. Nice job :)

I might too, once Soundwave is available at my TRU.

Albeit, I would try a darker red.

ehh, I am fine with yellow eyes.

If I did do it, id go with a different shade of red.

It's quite a simple mod actually so best of luck to those of you who wants to try! =)

As for the red, I didn't really pic a blinding red like the video shows. It's more of a camera flash thing since I don't have particularly good lighting anywhere argh!

:SG-CONS: I haven't quite decided if I'll mod my MP Soundwave +5 Asia Reissue, since G1 SW is one of my all-time faves....but the difference might be nice! Thanks for this.

I wanted mine to evoke the toy vibe of my 84 Soundwave. I got the yellow eyed version on purpose.

Wow, steady hands required! Last exercise I had applying stickers was TR Fort Max - fun, and slightly challenging. Those TFs look amazing with those designs applied!

The closest I ever got to any other bots were those snap-on model Gundams - no glue required and plenty of poseability....as well as sticker sheets. :RUBSIGN:

I honestly like the yellow for that very reason - but the red just might be nice for a cartoon-styled change for the MP....maybe. :p
