Repaint: ROTF Soundwave (Part 1)

Finally decided to try some paint on my Soundwave. I think the color of the grey plastic is very different from what I saw in the movie. Or maybe he is a reflective color and is just reflecting the darkness of space. Anyways, here's the first part I did, one of his panels. This is the first coat, will touch up on it later when it has dried.

This project will take quite a long time since he has many pieces. This part here took me around 1 hour. The black wash was done a bit too heavily, but I'll see how the second one comes out. Worst case is I will have to remove the paint of this one and do it over again.

  2. nice job on the panel mate! seriously i've always had the urge to repaint my transformers...with how hasbro always fails us in terms of the screen accurate paint....

    and i remmeber clearly the toy Soundwave was blue...which isn't anywhere near the film colours..but now with how you're painting it..i think its well on the way to look just like the movie!

  3. Leon, Hasbro charges a lot cheaper in deluxe class figures than Takara Tomy. But Takara charges cheaper in Leader class and voyage class figures. Kind of weird but overall, Hasbro version is still cheaper..
