    Default Looking for someone who knows Alot about Formers

    Hi Guys,

    I've got the crazy Idea that I'd like to make a toy of my Current Car.

    However since I lack the skills to make one I'm thinking of doing a repaint, So here's where I need your help.

    Does anyone here know of any figure that looks similar or in any way like a Mitsubishi Magna.



    This isnt my car, but it's very similar, I can't seem to find any formers figures with the grill on the front of the car.

    I plan on repainting it My Cars colour so I can in theory have a Transformer of my Car

    Thankyou!!



    After carefully looking at each car it seems Silverstreak is the closest to what I'm after

    Ordered, Paid For, Now the Next Question..

    What is the best paint to use?

    Is it worth buying a few of those Warhammer Paints ? Do I have to put an undercoat?

    Warhammer paints are okay, but on something as intricate as an alternator, you will probably be better off going with some Tamiya paints.

    I think I'll leave more details for the guys who are beastly good at repainting, rather than me who is still quite horrible at it.

    Customizing is not my area but I read some discussions about paints/paintjobs from our previous threads under the Grapple's Artistic Creations section which perhaps could help you whilst waiting for those bright ideas that may be posted afterwards.
