Bidoofdude's Thundercracker Cosplay

Hello all,
I've been working on this for about a month or two now and I'd like to show you how I'm doing on my WIP Thundercracker Cosplay. :):D
So far, I've done the head and the wings, which are shown below:

I think it's going pretty well so far.
Next I'll probably go for the arms or the main torso section, which will be attached to the wing portion.
Just a quick question: Should I spray (paint) the wings and head in their respective colours first, or should I make all the parts then paint?

Anyway, comment below on what you think and any advice you may have.:cool::)

I'll give updates whenever I get a part or something finished.
Feel free to check out my Flickr whenever you want for pics of it so far or any other pics of mine.;)

hey that nice :) , i wait until you got everything and then paint because then you have the same consistent colour all round , if not you might forget how many coats you did the first set and then the second set will have a diffident tone in colour compare to the first set .Plus save you having to wash up to many time and waste paint. With the face you can try to get a mask from a costume store and build on from that like your helmet you have now . Well keep up the good work

Cool stuff little dude, look forward to seeing it in person, thats if i still go to supanova (depends on work roster)

The head/helmet is 3D already. It's all enclosed in a box like shape.;)

I still need to paint it, like I said before.
No worries though.:cool::)

I've added a base coat to the back of the wings.:cool:

I'll add a lighter coat, basically a sky blue via spray paint soon.
I think it's coming alright. The black lines, although a bit funny, give me a chibi sort of feel and are very cartoony, in my eyes at least.;):D

SIMS2 Thundercracker.
