This is out cold ! I can now truly see this Meg in the Bumblebee movie your a good painter bro. His back looks like it could use a splash of silver tho. You should show how he looks in tank a starship mode
That little dab of paint made ALL the difference eh? Well, well done! This is along the lines of what I sometimes do. So, I'm going to sound like an idiot for this one, but oh well lol. When I paint one, it always ends up rubbing off on me. Is it me not using the right stuff, or is it that after doing touch ups, I should not transform the figure much anymore? If I have to make it a statue, I won't paint it, because I'm always messing with my figures, and don't think I'd be happy not being able to transform them. The kinda cool thing is, I don't get too deep into repainting. I just hit highlights here and there, with silver, gun metal grey, and so on, NOT messing with large areas. What I end up with, is those parts looking sort of weathered, when some inevidably rubs off. It's not a bad look, but I'd like to be able to prevent that if I don't want it on a particular figure. I'm guessing that clear coat you put over the purple logo would help me?
Hi there👋 You need to spray the clear Matt coat on bare plastic to prep it so the paint will bite. After you are done painting you do another layer of Matt coat to protect the paint from scratches. I use mostly miniature paints like citadel because it’s slightly rubbery and are for the game pieces (which are often handle and moved around) so the flakes is less. I don’t unpin them and sometimes it’s partial painting and I avoid the joints as those areas flake the most, usually I dry brush the area so it sort of stays on. 😝 I play with painted toys all the time and I transform them, but to be honest once in a while it does flake abit but it’s not like frequently or a lot. Also depends on the amount of strength used I guess. Hopes this helps ✌️
I guess you wanna know if the paint will flake or scratch? 😉 To be honest it will slightly if you apply a lot of force but they are still transformable and you can still play with them. The conventional of doing custom is unpinning everything and then prime and airbrushing over every part separately like Gundam painting, that method will flake more if you try to transform them, as the joints and their internal are fully painted. Secondly if you use a soldering iron to remove the pins there is a possibility that the plastic might be damaged by the heat and your bot’s joint become loose. In this tutorial we are doing partial painting meaning only painting on the details, we leave the joints as they are so you can transform them as normal. Also I apply several layers of the clear Matt coat as a transparent protective layer so as to reduce the scratches. Hope that helps, the painting method is made in a way you can still enjoy both bot and alt mode ✌️
Yes I do paint gunpla , I won Bandai’s international cup in 2006 and 2009. But age is catching up so I get tired of assembling the gunpla… and the overtime from my day job.. really tired of cutting the sprues
@@izakku-ben Thats awesome dude. i feel the same about building them, i have a few boxes that i have laying around that i cant be bothered to build lol
I found some on Ali express, but to be honest the white lining isn't too bad, if I had used an edgeless one it would be fully blended after the weathering and not so obvious
It’s entertaining for the parents and their kids watching 😅and also I am camera shy at times or could be a combination of acne and messy bed hair. It’s from killer body would y’all want to see their show room? Or their transformers products?

Yep. I (almost) never do that because i'm LAZY 😅 But you can have a great result without taking a figure apart. You Just have to be steady and precise.
BTW, can I just say, I'm getting really sick and tired of Megs getting the shaft! Can my guy just not merit a figure without caverns in his damn forearms? He's the emporer of distruction! Give him arm hole covers! At least this one seems to have wrist rotation. I guess yay for that. Can you see through his arm smh...
Compared to the past megatron this is actually really, only thing the alt modes looks kinda forced. But overall the bot mode is really nice. Hole covers would be nice
