Intmd8r Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 My second Transformers build from the Flame Toys series. Build time was roughly a week and is box stock. Decided to not use the toy like stickers, sledge hammer, or the hybrid helicopter jetpack. The weathered look is my interpretation of this character being based on a neglected VW Beetle, while showing signs of battle in robot form. Not unlike the blockbuster movie a while back. Used Alclad II Magnesium for the skeletal components, Vallejo and Tamiya acrylics for everything else. Hope you enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragline Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Very cool! Are you new to Vallejo acrylics or an old hat? Making the switch from enamels can be an issue for some car builders who are used to old ways. Nicely weathered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intmd8r Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 Thanks Bob. Acrylics is my weapon of choice when weathering a model. Can't say I have a preference for acrylic, enamel, or lacquer for "shinny" models. Tend to stock up on Vallejo products specifically because its cheap and plentiful from my preferred vendor. Has been easy to use and forgiving for my needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
