poor man's Battletrap

I can't bring myself to pay for a Botcon Battletrap, but I could afford a Springer, some paint and a few nights....

The sticker is a leftover from a reprolabels sheet for G1 Battletrap. The head is a G1 Topspin. I'm now having doubts about following the all blue head and face colour scheme.

Great job. Looks really good.

A great likeness to the Botcon one and I also dislike the all blue head. It made the Botcon one look unfinished.

Painted the face a lighter blue. It hadn't finished drying when I took the pic

Once again, exceptional work, I see what you mean with regards to 'all the blue' I like the two tone approach to the face.

I love the thread title. :)

As for the face colour, have you considered giving it a silver face à la Battletrap's box art (https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/34/92/5e/34925e915cbe0de200a76804f5c67cb6.jpg)? ;)

Yes, but I figured that would remove the definition between his face and the visor. In my mind light blue is a steel-type colour

Thanks for the comments everyone

Perhaps give him a cartoon accurate red visor (http://rq87.flyingomelette.com/RQ/C/HM/29/Battletrap%20Flywheels%20Transformers%20Headmaster s.jpg)? Just suggestin'. :)
