Re: Customizing Q&A Thread

Looking at GW's site I'd say you gunna want to go with burnished gold.
Blazing orange is the color you would find on any toy gun tip now days

You might have to custom mix to get an exact match, but Tamiya XF-8 flat blue is a close match.

someone on the reprolabels forum suggested just regular old tamiya X-4 blue and its a pretty good match. good enough for me anyways!

Re: Customizing Q&A Thread

So i have a alternator Ricochet and a Bineltech Bluestreak that i want to make into Bumblebee and Cliff Jumper. now i know that Isoprophynol Alcohol will take the paint off of Ricochet but how about Bluestreak since he's metal. will it work for him too??? sorry i'm new and have never done any repaints. i want it to look something like this.

and instead of red it will be yellow for bumblebee. now if it actually turns out like that, your guess will be as good as mine. and also which car should i use for which character.

Probably just some sheet styrene cut into the appropriate shape.

Re: Customizing Q&A Thread

I am wondering if anyone had attempted to mod TFG Scourge into IDW Megatron?
