Hail Lord Megatron 😉
What brand of paint did you use for this guy? I like how it looks flat, but not at the same time (does that make sense?). I like the antiquing on him.Thanks everyone!
I used interference paints only, and I used a brand called “Golden”. The store I got them from only had three kinds of interference, lucky for me it was the ones I wanted: red, purple and silver. I also used some cheap brand of acrylic high gloss black I’ve had sitting around for a number of years to darken them for certain parts. Then I just sprayed it with a satin finish, and that’s pretty much it.
Oh, it was a rescue figure, so it was already black and saved me a lot of time (and paint!) not having to do a dark base coat. I think that about covers it. Thanks again for all the kind messages! :bye:….. maybe I’ll get another and do an Autobot dragon, even though they suck, aha haa! XD

Hmmm it certainly doesn’t look like it’s interference. Interesting.
Interference? Interesting… and cool! Hadn’t seen it actually mixed in the black before. I was wondering if you’d used some sort of powder! He’s a good looking take on Decepticons.
You know how sometimes, when you start a project you know right away if it will be awesome or crap? That’s this guy, only he turned out like crap.
This was supposed to be a Christmas gift for my friend since, like me, she likes Transformers as well. I attempted to make him sort of Optimus Prime themed, but it turned out more like … crappy crap.
His terrible wing flames
His smug smile mocks my failure.I guess I should point out that I’m blue/green colorblind, so if the blue I used looks like crap, that’s why. At least now I know why Melody doesn’t use red as production pieces anymore. I can’t get it to layer right.
Uh…I don’t think he’s ugly. I’m liking the red and the blue. I think you should take a second look. Really.
Yea, he’s not bad at all. Give yourself more credit 🙂

So give yourself some credit and the little guy a chance!

http://www.sarahjestin.com/feedbacklists.htmI’ve had dragons that I thought turned out ‘eh’, but like dragonmedley said, it’s because they didn’t turn out how I expected, but everyone else thought they looked great. I think he looks pretty good and I can see the Optimus Prime in him (I also watched Transformers last night too! *lol*). He’s not as bad as you may think. 🙂
