After the long procrastination of the painting of my old Armorhide Cybertron, I have come to a basic final result on my custom Huffer, for my classics display (being too cheap to buy an iGear one:D:p).

Here he is, in all his whiney glory: ;)

I think I did pretty well, for a first try and I'm happy. Unfortunately I have yet to retrieve the windows from my containers of random weapons and other bits and pieces, which can be observed below:

He's looking a little weird without them but I'll try to find them tomorrow, hopefully. ;)

Here's my favourite part that I painted, the grill. I just loved painting it from that dull grey to a bright blue, which is a bit more vibrant IRL.

I think he fits reasonably well in my classics display, looking enough GEEWUN and NOT-GEEWUN to be displayed among similarly styled figures. The scaling is just about spot on IMO and he doesn't seem to not fit. Would love to get the new Cosmos and Swerve to go with him too. ;)

(sorry, this one was a last minute pic, feat. my new Prid toys too.;))

Let me know what you think guys! I might get into some kitbashing down the track as well and get some spray paints, instead of brushing. (I'm a clumsy painter- lucky I got the head right ;))

Nice work, I didn't realise you'd painted the head till you mentioned it. (I have little or no familiarity with the cybertron figures)

I agree that it'll look much better once you replace the windshield pieces. post up another pick when you find them.:cool:

It's my first one and he didn't seem to hard to paint, being basically solid colour all over with few details, though I'd like to paint maybe some silver stripes on the legs/truck top. I was too cheap to buy the botcon one, obviously. :D:p
