Mindset Mod Update: Stalling

Well, the Mindset mod has ground to a halt for now until I can afford to buy some more putty to smooth out his rough edges, so until then allow me to present my first repaint:

One o' dese:

Into one o' dose:




So yeah, G2 Laser Optimus Prime makes a pretty obvious RID Black Convoy, but everyone has to start their repaint career somewhere!

The only issue with this one is mixing up a batch of that weird metallic light-blue colour.

Oh, and I'm kind of colour blind.

MrVash104 said...

Mattersmasher said...

They probably will, but what the heck :) It'll be a fun challenge and this guy's not rare. I'd like to get the United one, really.

RTS version is perfect since he's got the evil light-piping.

Mattersmasher said...

The RTS lightpiping is orange, isn't it?

Anonymous said...

Yup!

MrVash104 said...

hey one question how do u chance the color of light piping or clear plastic do u paint a like a thin layer ?

Mattersmasher said...

Use a clear paint :) Tamiya do a nice range of clear acrylics which will tint plastic to different colours and allow light to pass through it. That said, painting the orange of Laser Prime to red might make the lightpiping less impressive.

MrVash104 said...

oh i see thanks for the info and oh yeah u do have an point lol

Curse you, Mattersmasher, for I was thinking of the same idea!

BTW: I'm Zeltrax who made the Cybertron Skywarp and TFA ThunderCracker for Thew and Buddhacon respectively.

I was kidding about the curse you thing. I also wanted to take a crack at this guy and paint him up into RID Black Convoy. I also think you can find that kind of metallic blue looking paint at games-workshop. They have some awesome paint and that's what I use to paint out the details on the customs I made for Thew and Buddhacon.

Hopefully when I find 2 G2 Laser Optimus's, I'll try this out.

Am I able to make a post in this blog or something?/Other than I'm doing now.
