Most people who grew up loving GI Joe in the 80s also loved Transformers. And while I personally like vintage Joes more than modern ones, when it comes to Transformers the opposite is true. Vintage G1 Transformers are, looking back on them, basically bricks. Out imaginations did all of the heavy lifting when playing with them. Modern Transformers look great both in robot mode and alt mode, and many of them are available with cartoon-accurate appearances, which is what I really like. And canonically GI Joe and Transformers exist in the same universe, so one can lead to the other quite naturally. But they can all use touch-up and paint upgrades of course. So lately I've started working on customizing my Transformers collection, both to improve the look of them and to do full customs as well, transforming them into different characters. The question is - if I submit these to the custom gallery, do they go in as figures or vehicles? I'm starting off with Bumblebee, originally released in 1984, and his later incarnation Goldbug, which arrived in 1987. |

These are cool. The knock off master piece Transformers on eBay are a great deal. |

The chrome marker is amazing. Great figures. |

Whenever I paint something silver or gold I always underpaint it with blue or orange first. Do you have to do that with those markers, or are they good to go straight away? |

I even use it to re-do some of my vintage accessories where the chrome is fading away. past nastification wrote: Whenever I paint something silver or gold I always underpaint it with blue or orange first.

Sometimes if you're putting them over certain paints the chrome ink doesn't flow very well, so in cases like that you might want to do a base coat or something like that. Goldbug's also right about the pics - the chrome is actually shinier than it looks here. |

Nice work. How big a figure is that? I'm not a TF fan, so I don't have a scale reference. |

That's called "legends class" most of the time in modern Transformers. I like to have the original minicars in this scale, and the larger cars in "deluxe" scale, which is about 5-1/2"-6" tall in robot mode. |
