Battle Ravage repaint - Toy-accurate

[dvandom]

Black and purple were Testor's acrylic enamels (RoseArt marker for the string). Pale gray was a mix of my own from Apple Barrel colors. Red, silver, gunmetal and yellow (cat head eyes) are craft acrylics, bright green is old Citadel paint. The black wash is simply black paint mixed with water.

As noted in the image itself, the actual purple is redder than shown here. LED flashes don't capture purple properly (and I didn't feel like waiting until tomorrow and taking the picture in daylight).

Wow looks great. I don't know much about TF so is that what he is suppose to look like? I have to say I like your repaint much better.

[attacktixguy]

that is what does look correctly like. (I have a book, seen the show, and the action figure. Except my action figure only has a white plate on one arm.) Good repaint dvandom. When I get some more Battle Ravages I'll try to do that.

(P.S. What paint did you use on the mace chain/string? Won't it come easily?)

That is a very nice repaint.

It would be great if all customs would be put in the same place. Preferably here.

Attacktixguy: There's silver vents on the backs of both arms, plus the circular white plate on the right shoulder. I used a purple marker on the string, so the ink just soaked in and won't flake off. The whole thing is still perfectly functional, although getting bashed around in an actual game would probably damage the paint. There's about ten coats of purple on the mace, though, so it might be okay.

Excusum me, i know the toy had a purple mace tail but I belive hasbro gave the attacktix a green mace to give the empression it was created of energon, like skyblasts spear.

[dvandom]

Yes, but that was the point of "toy accurate", to use the toy's colors.

I also have a very minor mod I did on another figure, where I just used a green marker to make the string match the flail head. A green highlighter works pretty well for that, but may fade over time (obviously, I haven't had it long enough to be sure if it'll fade in this particular case). No pics, because it's not that big a deal.

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

Thanks!
