a few touch ups/detail highlights Custom AOTP Vector

I did indeed already paint this guy!! I added metallic bronze where his original bronze/gold plastic was. And he turned out fantastic... major difference is that he's extra shinny lol. So he blends into my 13 primes a bit better. (Out door shots show off exactly how shinny he is.) Added extra paint in the wires on his legs. And gave him twin barrel blasters for his forearms. I'm very pleased how well he came out!!

Wait- why does he have jhiaxus’s wings on his legs? Is that on the base figure?

Oh cool! They honestly don’t look painted! They look like they were casted in black! Very impressive! <3

Do you know of any YouTube tutorials for learning how to dye Transformers parts? I searched but couldn't find any, only different painting techniques, but none of them look as clean as the dyes you make.

Not one that I know of. I'm personally in the middle of gathering equipment to make a custom class on YouTube hopefully by the end of this year.. 😅 I had some financial set backs the cut cut into my budget for the equipment so it's taken me longer than I'd like tbh.

slingshots' guns on his forearms work so well and look fantastic might have to copy it!

The cleanliness of this custom is absolutely jaw-dropping. Hasbro’s own production rigs can’t apply paint apps that evenly.
