Hey guys, i have had some free time lately and i thought i would try my first repaint of a mustang alt, I have almost finished it now and i want you guys to help me out with a couple of details,

 

1: the name, yes it is yellow but i dont want to call it bumblebee as it is overused in my opinion and i am planning to make an Alt bumble and cliffjumper out of minis,

 

2: the graphics, i will post pics once i am done and will do some digibashes to show what sort of graphics i am after and hopefully you guys can help me decide which i prefer

 

3: the head: i dont really want to go for a silverstreak head modified as it has been done a lot before.

 

4: I NEED A SWORD FROM WHEELJACK OR GRIMLOCK, if any of you guys can help me out with this it would be hugely appreciated PM me if you have one spare.

 

thanks for reading will post pics asap.....

keep us posted!

I have an extra grimlock and wheeljack sword!

PM'D :clap

Ah, wasn't quick enough! I was going to offer a Wheeljack sword too!

I don't want to start any controversy by saying this, but I agree about not making it into Bumblebee. I think that a muscle car is a laughably inappropriate as Bumbelbee. And don't worry, I know I'm in the minority there.

And good thinking for making Cliffjumper a Mini. Small and sporty, I think that's just perfect.

 

But about your first question: Hubcap perhaps? Although he was no bigger than Bumblebee and Cliffjumper in the toys.

What about whacking a Battle Ravage head on him and calling him Steeljaw?

In fact, something like Reprolabels' Grimlock stickers in red, that could look really sweet!

Or Sureshot or Slapdash? They were yellow too.

In fact, there was a character called Flame who was yellow, carried a sword, and had "different-from-Silverstreak" kind of head. Possibly a modified Prime or Grimlock head would do the trick.

Anyway, those are just some ideas. And I'm looking forward to seeing the graphics you're working on. Good luck!

Hey guys told you i would post some digi's of what i want think the graphics should look like on my Custom Mustang Alt, I have named him Sureshot (thanks Octopus Prime) just for the record the car in the pic is not my kitbash it was the only yellow 06/07 mustang i could find.. what do you guys think, let me know which ones you like best....

 

 

 

 

 

 

i like #5

Either #5 or 6 for me. Sometime simplest is best.

Good stuff! I like 5 and 6 too, and my wife prefers number 5. I understand that this just an example and isn't actually your bash, but are you going to make him into a convertable? I'm not sure if that'd be feasable, but it would certainly look very cool and help to distinguish him from Grimlock and Wheeljack.

Im sure with a bit of work i might be able to fashion something to make it convertible so im going to give it a try, not going to start cutting until i'm 100% though

 

just a quick question to you guys how can i paint the designs without the paint on the graphics running under the masking tape?
