That looks great. I'd love to the same to mine when I get a chance. I really want to add some white outline to the red symbol line thing (have no idea what you call it) on his sides in vehicle form and paint the 'Search & Rescue' text in white too, as it looks in the movie but I don't think I got steady enough hands. Will definitely try that dry-brush and wash technique when I can afford some paints (looked in Games Workshop for some, but damn they cost a lot there...)

They would do since they are name brands, but really they are just acrylic paints. I was initially gonna buy some games workshop paints, but then i found some non-brand name acrylic paints for half the price. 99.p for a whole tube instead of £2.00 for a tiny pot is a big difference for what is basically the same thing. So games workshop stuff is a rip off, id just use normal acrylic craft paint if i were you since i dont think there is a difference apart from the brand. |

Yeah, I just ain't too sure where to look for those though.
By the way the Bumblebee conversion looks pretty good. Nice work.

Thanks, im pleased with it, even though he doesnt transform for some reason. Oh well, cant get it perfect the first time every time eh.  Anyway any hobby shop near you should sell acrylic paints. |

Talking about paints, I know a lot of GW painters use Vajello Paints, their suppose to better to work with. I know that a lot of the contract commisson painters use Vajello paints
Not sure of the spelling of the brand name, though try googling it, should correct the spelling for you.

yeah I know the ones you mean
my wholesaler deals in them and they have a much better range of colours
I find some of the GW stuff far too thin to work with sometimes
