Omnicon repaints - Signal Flare and Offshoot

[dvandom]

These are actually based on arm-swapped versions of the Energon toys, with a few tweaks beyond that.

Great repaints, and welcome to the boards.
A little advice:
Give them names using this link
attacktix.proboards22.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1145036350
You need to look around a little thought.

Yeah, I know about the labelmaker...I just prefer to leave the names unaltered. Old habit from when I tried to keep my Mage Knight kitbashes tournament-legal (and I won a tourney with a bunch of Atlanteans modded into Decepticons).

When I did it, I kept the details to minimum like Omnicon.

Very nice...what kind of paint did you use?

[dvandom]

I mainly used Apple Barrel and Folk Art craft acrylic paints that you can get at Wal-Mart (although I had to hit Hobby Lobby for some of the shades). It's not as durable as enamels, even with a topcoat spray, so the poseability is impacted...can't pose it much without scrapes. But given that I have five OTHER Omnicons, I don't really need to leave these in playable condition.

dvandom? Unless I am mistaken, I can recall browsing pics you put online as far back as 94 or 95? That was back when I was first seeing some of the Japanese exclusive G1 stuff on att (possibly your catalog scans?). Welcome aboard!

Nice customs. I had actually never noticed how well the arm swaps would make those guys look consistent.

Didn't you also do a lot of custom painted Decoys?

[dvandom]

Yep, I'm the Decoys guy.

Wow again very very nice.

dvandom was kind enough to copy and paste his great repaints, so Im going to lock this thread. Please continue your conversation here.

Thanks!
