This is my custom painted figure for Shattered Glass Wheeljack, as he will appear in my upcoming stop motion project 'Transformers: Broken Mirror'. He is a full repaint of PRID Wheeljack, using a colour scheme based on his canonical form and painted with Vallejo paints, with SG Autobot stickers from Captured Prey. Tell me what you think

Very nice work man, very nice indeed.

the colours are lovely and the head pops really well!

im looking at repainting a wheeljack myself for a different project and was wondering if you had any problems with panel edges scraping off the paint and if any filing down had to be done.

Thanks very much

so far I haven't had any problems with paint scraping off panel edges (at least not on this custom), and i didn't need to do any filing down at all. The only problems I have had are down to my own human error, by leaving him in an ultrasound bath to clean him pre-painting for too long which loosened his joints a lot
