I was planing to redo a battle op bumble bee and was wondering which one you guys like? A repaint to smokescreen or a green one to wasp ?
Here what they should look like i did in Photoshop ...

Smokescreen looks better IMO, fits well as a kind of movie Smokescreen as well as being a g1 homage.

I'd seriously like to see this repainted in the colours of BB (http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20081217011637/transformers/images/a/a4/Bb.jpg). Even just a photoshopped digibash (http://otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=8604) would be kewl. :D

It turns into a car, and he seems to have a desire to colour it to match another existing car Transformer. Recommending a jet colour scheme seems like a rather unusual suggestion for his BB project.

Smokescreen looks pretty good actually.

I think Wasp could look quite cool if you were to throw in some purple to help break up all the green, maybe a little black too. ;):cool:

Paint on Smokescreen looks good so far. Are you using Tamiya masking tape? That stuff is the best for clean lines.

I have an Iwata. Excellent tool, sprays as well now as the day I bought it. Which model you want really depends on price and how serious you are about it.

Haha, cool. :) Very purple! BB is actually mostly black -- it's his lower legs, forearms and cannon that are purple w/ a silver head. But that's a pretty nice attempt (far superior to anything I could possibly do! ;)), thank you!! :D :)

Nice. I actually like the red and black (even if it is the primer) looking forward to seeing the finished paint.
