did this fella on the drive to edmonton.vinyl wrapped his windows,headlights,air dam and lower chest section.i love this mold but couldnt stand the blue windows.surprisingly,i didnt even cut myself doing this at 160km:D i still wanna find one more bb so i can do a grey and black heat damaged version with a battle mask.

Looks better now... what is vinyl wrap?

[chans formers]

vinyl wrap is basically what it sounds like.wrapping something in vinyl.think of vehicle wraps like commercial vehicles,only on a smaller scale.the best part about vinyl is that if you want to change the design later on,all you need is a heat gun and unlike paint,no sanding is needed to change/remove designs.

....and where would one find vinyl wrap?

thanks for the info btw :D

Just a thought, but you should have used a darker automotive window tint on the windows so they would continue to be somewhat transparent. ;)

....and where would one find vinyl wrap? east west plastics or most automotive striping shops.

I'm going to deffinately have to do something about that front bumper area yellow-spot-that-should-be-black when or if I get one. (I'm not sure what it's called)

I'm surprised you hven't added any other mods in 'bot mode like the yellow hands or the unpainted arm stripes.

i didnt do those yet cause when it comes to smaller and more intricate details i prefer paint and i didnt want to be cleaning paint in the back of wifeys car.soon though....:)

didnt want to crack open my other bb for a while but what the heck,hes destined to be burnt!!:)anyways,this should show the difference.wake up hasbro!!!!:D

Great work chans! From your results, I foresee Hasbro milking this mold to death. An elite guard BB is coming out eventually and we'll probably see a version with a battle mask as well. Then there'll be an elite guard battle mask variation. Of course, the obligatory Cliffjumper wouldn't be far behind.

sweet work!

[Icetron]

That's really nice, adds a lot of life to the figure. :D

This looks so cool!....I wished the official version looked like yours.
