My First Custom: Animated Ricochet

[crimbot]

So, My bestest Buddy turned the whopping 3-0 this past month, and I wanted to make sure that he had something great to commemorate! So, I tried to paint up animated bumblebee like his car, who he named Ricochet, because his nickname is Trigger! Hers his car: (Bad pic, but...)


So I wrecked my first attempt at this, and picked up an elite guard bumblebee for the second round which worked out better because the black parts were already black. Heres a couple WIP:



And: The finished Product:




Sorry, my photography skills are lacking, but this gives you an idea of how he turned out. I would do some things differently next time, the paint turned out a little chunky in some places, I think because I was rushed. and I destroyed the first BB I did, because I tried to remove too many parts for individual painting, i think I'd do more taping next time!

Thanks to the tutorials on Cybertron.ca for getting me started, and all the greats who posted in there!

Thanks guys! It's already in the hands of the birthday boy and he absolutely loved it! Although I think it may have triggered something... I'm so tempted to do another one!
