first things first,total props go out to cybertron.ca's "jourdo"!!thanks for all the tips on dying bots!they really helped alot! snake eyes is the first time i've ever tried "dying"a tf.during the whole process i was so scared the "black soup"would explode on the stove while cooking it up. (still a newbie to the whole dye process )the donor figure was energon dreadwind(energon tidalwave repaint)his horns were cut and sanded down,boat sides removed,his visor is sculpted with fiberglass then painted and panel lined.i only drybrushed a few certain areas as i was trying to both give him some contrast yet stay mostly black.you can still somewhat see under certain light dreadwinds "original" tribal stripe design on the wings but i think it worked out good in a army camo kind of way(imo)the sword is from a knock off 6 wheeled car.only the hilt was painted,it came chromed like that.4 magnets are used when in stealth bomber mode to help keep him together and in shape. im still trying to figure out what kind of gun to make,im thinking its gotta be uzi-ish
arishikage assassin-bot mode
stealthbomber mode
ray park wannabe???
