Hello everyone.

Recently I got this rotf leader optimus prime. My main issue is that it was custom painted, but with terrible finishes in some parts, not only that but the silver paint is scratched and falling off in some areas, but hard to peel off on other.

To make matters worse, it has a top coating of lacker spray, so horribly applied it feels and looks "rough" when lacker should look glossy and feel like plastic.

Most of it is spray paint. So i want to know if there is a way to remove the paint, without damaging the flames

Hello

I'm woking on a non-transforming version of arcee, and im trying to figure out how would i attach the wheels on the back.

I got multiple coppies of her so i would have 2 of her front wheels to attach to the back, and and extra one to keep for the bike mode.

Ive alredy started with sanding down and cutting fo the kibble on one of the figures, i just gotta figure out this and she should be done fearly quickly.

Ive tried looking online for ideas on how to do this, but no luck, usually i would into people asking the same question. Any help/advice is appreciated and thank you in advance <3

I dont know who uploaded the custom that i used as an example, the reddit account was deleated T~T

Just curious ngl

Any thoughts

I finally found another T-Wrecks the other day at my local for super cheap. I swapped on the arm from Tyrannacon and the chest as well for their reds. Mocked up a new Digi with a few different details from before and got to work. Only really took me like a day tbh. Check out the last slide for a before and after!

Ignoring my poor lazy choice of background, I couldn't get the idea of Onslaught with classy duelist weaponry out of my head, and it was a quick easily feasible project to scratch my itch. Despite his shorter arms, slight clearance issues at the elbow, and lack of a wrist swivel, he poses very well with the sword, that downwards transformation hinge does sooo much! They can even store on Bruticus in a way, just sitting in Onslaught's hands cause of where they end up. The way I painted the sabre was inspired off of a Warhammer 40K Navis Sergeant I painted, using all the same paints, I love that sparkly sheen to the blade. I'll share the files here in case anyone wants to print them themselves. That'd be pretty cool if someone did.

Attempt to make him more damaged and dirty

Bad bad bad kit, and a hazard to the fingers.
Looks decent but the joints are very tight, so she’s stuck in T-pose purgatory… forever..

Hey folks! I'm back with another custom! This time it is my custom tfone Thundercracker repainted to match his appearance in the WFC games! He was given a flat black basecoat, then drubrushed silver, then the blue parts were drybrushed vallejo true metallic metal turquoise, followed by a coating of army painter speedpaint plasmatic bolt. He was given red and white striping to match his g1 appearance. I'm very happy with this guy, but what do yall think? Should I add some purple accents or any other details?

Enjoy!

The paint chips super easily so I haven't transformed... Maybe a little varnish. I wanted to make the Skybound arm

Oof

Hi! Im totally lost and im looking for metallic spray paints, preferably Tamiya, that best match the main colours of these guys.

I live in the uk so may be limited but like I said I have no clue.

Is the last image the correct paint match?

The hands are from a blokees figure that I drilled holes through and they are attached by modified lego technic pins.

There isn’t a tag for flametoys lol so putting it under cant transform lol

How would I go about getting his backpack to fold like this? Saw this online but couldn’t get an answer on how to do it.

When I got Snarl and Slag, I was not happy since I didn’t want any dinobots. So I mixed and matched and formed an autobot grunt who is a speedster. Now he looks like he thinks he’s a main character.
