Masterpiece Ultra Magnus - Stencilator style

Hey Ozformers

Our fellow TF fan Turtle Boy, in his quest to complete his collection of MP variations, has commissioned me to repaint his MP02 to look like he's wearing his armour. TB said he didn't have to transform... which he can't (well he could but he'd look stupid), but I did manage to keep all his posability - opening chest, ball jointed head, removable missile launchers.

Anyway I hope you like him.

Stencilator

looks awesome, can i ask how do you know what paint to use?

Ho leeeeeeee shh ivers!!!!!!!!!!!

Man i really want to swear!

:)Very nice Stencilator, I'm trying Tamiya spray cans on an old G1 Optimus I'm refurbishing, do you use sprays or brush painting:confused:

A question - if you are able to transform him without damage, could you please do it? i wanna see how "stupid" he looks :P

btw, awesome job yet again

I use both. For this figure I brush painted more than usual because the crap weather in Sydney lately kept me indoors. A small tip, do all the spray painting first, acrylic paint (I used Tamiya acrylics) will paint over enamel spray (I use Tamiya spray as well) but enamel spray will not work over acrylic paint. The enamel thins the acrylic and it will run and/or bubble and ruin the finish.

For Liegeprime and Borgeman... sorry but no. I think he's a bit fragile with all his extras and I don't want to play with him too much before I send him off to Turtle Boy... keep him as minty as possible. You all know how he transforms, the cab will have a red top, blue down the sides, the chest plate sticking out the front, and the white stacks sticking up from the top.

Thanks for the compliments.

Thats a sweet paintjob. I also like the size comparison with the alternators, really suits I think.

Wow. Awesome paint job.

thats good paint, i use that for my repaints:D

^ ^ ^ Me too!

Bravo Stencilator. Another job well done:)

wow!! stencilator you always seems to amaze me! if not everyone! :)

Very nice!

I dont see why more people paint him to look like he is wearing armour, instead of trying to make him armour.

wow, flipping awesome, and those alts are magnificent!

hehehe, that's a very nice Masterpiece Action Master Ultra Magnus! :D

Note: HasTak did intend on making an Action Master Ultra Magnus for G1 but it was never produced (presumably the US G1 line folded before they could do it).

This is an awesome job Stencilator.. Really welldone on the paint.

One of the best idea I have seen in a long time.
