    Default Custom Classic Runabout by Stencilator

    Hello Folks

    First new custom for the new board. Sorry to the Sydneysiders for not making it to the meet yesterday, but I had a bbq at lunchtime that went well past dinner. About 11pm last night I started this new custom and just finished it this arvo.

    Custom Classics Runabout is just a black repaint of Bumblebee with clear red windows and a slight head resculpt.

    What do you guys think?













    Cheers

    Stencilator

    That looks awesome! its amazing what one can accomplish using existing molds with a little imagination.

    Hasbro, take notice! A change of head and color can make a huge difference!

    Very nice work.

    I was suggesting this back when last year's Botcon set was announced. This, and/or a white and orange one as Runamuck would have been a nicer pair than getting Bugbite.

    I think you should put it up for sale or auction.

    Beautiful work as always bro.

    I cut the sides of the head off and added small putty sections and carved some grooves in it, then I cut off his chin and added the mouth plate with putty as well. Then I stuck the original chin back onto the mouth plate. Not too difficult.

    If I ever get the hang of a good white paint job I'll try a Runamuck.

    Thanks man. As usual, he will be for sale (to help pay for more TF's to customise)... so feel free to start the bidding!

    I painted it with clear red paint. It's not very even but you can't really tell.
