so all have to be deluxes... hrmmm...

If you dont mind mixing the visual aesthetics, maybe you could use Animated Blurr for Hurricane?

Would be too hard to tell it's Hurricane, try again.

Another update bots, this time I've added the little chicken winglets complete with shiny yellow missiles. And yes, I caved and folded the blades...No damage was incurred! One thing I am a bit miffed about, I tried using Mr Hobby Top Coat Gloss tonight on the missle launches...Big mistake, it somehow stripped some of the paint off and I can see pink peeking through from the layer below. :/ No idea what I did wrong but now I'm terrified of dousing the main toy with this stuff...Think I'll try doing it in the sun next time and spray further back!

That's probably a good idea. Nice work so far.

Loving the triple shades of blue, the missiles are looking nice, perfect shade of sun yellow.

Looking super sweet.

Query: so once that Mr topcoat is applied there wont be any mor epaint chipping will there? or is it still not gonna be as playable as one would like - transforming without so much care....

Hopefully not, that's the dream anyway. As well as this it also allows you to clean the object without damaging the paint job (very important!). I'm going to use gloss topcoat, see how it looks and if it's too shiny then I'll go over it with a coat or two of matte topcoat (yes you can flip between them ).

Update for today:

Whoa, hot stuff! Btw you're great at teasing by not showing the complete toy yet!

[Doubledealer]

Gonna douse the missile launchers in Easy-Off BAM! tonight and start again...Still terrified to use topcoat on the main toy. >_< Also thinking of going with a matte finish to better match with Not-Springer...Hmm, decisions...

[Doubledealer]

Only got around to Ka-BLAM'ing Rotorstorm's missiles tonight as I only had the (useless) spray before.



This goes to show just how awesome the Tamiya Primer is, despite me scrubbing the pieces like a thing possessed, not a fleck of primer came off! Bloody brill, couple of minutes in the goop followed by another couple of scrubbing and it's all ready for painting. In fact I've already finished the pink bits tonight and should have them done by tomorrow. Oh the head should be done by tomorrow too, stay tuned for more pics...
