  1. I got another question for you.  I sued the Krylon on some other toys and after a while, the finish became sticky.  what can i use to remedy this?

     

    and i went on ahead and posted my energon thundercracker even though it's a webcam shot.  its in the forums

  2. Ok, after purchasing all the proper materials you suggested, i am happy to infrom you that I have finished Thundercracker!  He looks great and transforms just well.  The transparent parts came out a bluish teal but it goes with the metallic blue just fine.  I'll get a pic for you as soon as I get a hold of a good camera!  thanks a ton man!

  3. The arm is broken at the elbow but I can glue it back on...

    As for the gun, I had to twist it out of his hand and that's how it broke.  Since it's late now, I'll try to get closer pics tomorrow for you.

    Actually, I appreciate your help, but don't worry about it.  I've got another E-Starscream I can use anyway! XD  I just need to find places with the Tamiya Paints.  There aren't too many hobby stores around here.  But I will most definitely keep you updated on the progress and be sure to post the final results here!  Thanks for everything!

     

    And if I have any more questions, I know where to go!

  4. Well, the weapon is beyond repair as you will soon see, but I can fix the arm with that advice....

    Sorry bout the webcam shots, that's all I got for now....

    thnks for all the info...

     

    EDIT: OK, so you can't wth those pics, but the gun's handle is stuck in his hand and is a bit twisted....I might be able to fix it...if I could get it out of there.....

  5. Ok...I want to repaint Energon Starscream into Thundercracker and Energon Energon starscream into skywarp.  I already tried Skywarp and failed miserably due to bad materials. I tried to transform him and his arm broke..... I just have a few questions:

     

    1. What kind of clearcoat would you reccomend for this kind of figure?

     

    2. Is there any way I can make the clear green parts on starscream a clear blue?

     

    3. For reapints of other toys, I normally use FolkArt acrylic paints but for skywarp I switched to Palmer acrylic hoping the results would be better...but they weren't.  Are FolkArt paints good for TF repaints?

     

    4.  There is no way I can afford an airbrush at this moment.  What kind of paintbrushes should I be looking for and specifically what sizes should I use?

     

    5.  What's the best kind of primer I could use and how important is it that I use it.

     

    6.  After all the painting's said and done, how long should I wait before reassembling him?

     

    That's all really.  The colors on Skywarp came out fine but it seems the clear coat is so thick the he can't transform right.  I also must stress to all of you

     

    NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER USE TESTORS SPRAY PAINT ON MISSILES AND WEAPONS!  IT ABSOULOUTELY SUCKS!

    I had the gun in sword mode and it broke when I tried to pull it out (that's how bad it turned out.

    And for a clear coat, I used Treasure Crystal Cote.  I take it this stuff's no good?
