....or screw the figure subscription service, I'll make my own!
Just repainted the generations G2 Optimus. I didn't have any G2 Autobot symbols, so to set him apart I used some Fallen stickers. I like to think of him as an extradimensional emissary.....
Comnpletely hand-painted: if you look closely you'll be able to see some wavering along the blue lines :o

A trick I use to get straightish lines is to always paint the brush stroke left to right and top to bottom.

Anyway I like what you've done.

True but you need the good stuff I hear that 3M painters tape is good. But if you're going to freehand paint your lines: left to right and top to bottom. It's how pinstripers do it :D

And just to show you guys I'm not making this up watch this (http://vimeo.com/9022262) :D
