Re: DAK's Customizing Discussion Thread
A good hobby store can have decal sets for local police vehicle conversons. I have seen Toronto, Peel Region and OPP decal sets at North Star Hobbies in Mississauga, before. The only problem is they are for a 1/24 to 1/25 scale vehicle, and most transformer cars are 1/32 scale. But it may be worth checking out...

Re: DAK's Customizing Discussion Thread
Now I have the second to work on, but I am having trouble figuring out what color to dye the parts. The car body paint is more orange than it is red and the red forearms and legs didn't go well. Should I dye these parts black or orange? Lemme know your thoughts.

Hey dak, I'm working on making a Skywarp and Thundercracker myself but I guess the nail polish remover got into the shoulder and loosened the glue holding it in. I'm gonna super glue it but anyone else using the nail polish remover method be careful round those shoulders.

I think you should make the legs black with red armor.

Good advice. That being said, you can now say Nail Polish Remover is great for un gluing parts too. those nasty parts that hasbro glues together.

Re: DAK's Customizing Discussion Thread
Thanks for your advice... black looks waaaay better than orange. After I put this together he started to remind me of Cliff Jumper.
