Jazzman inspired me to jump right in and make my very first TF custom a reshell project. And while I was off to a flying start, I feel I kind of stranded in sight of the finish line. I had to abandon the transforming process, because of room issues in the rear wheel wells. That's okay, though, since most Transformers are displayed in bot mode anyway.
But in the end I fell short of skills in the decal and airbrushing departments. I just couldn't get the decals nice enough: they're really dark grey and have "ghost" edges. Don't know what it is, but it's something I'll have to keep in mind in the future. And while my Tamiya gloss black went on very smoothly, the gloss varnish has this fine sandpaper like structure :( Still, it clearly resembles my brother's Mini Cooper and I hope he'll like it. Despite the setbacks, I had a blast working on a Transformer and I've been stockpiling on those ever since I started this project! So, here's Bumblebee as a Mini, dubbed "Coop"! You can see all of the WIP shots on my FB page ;D Last edited by Incom; 02-19-2012 at 06:13 PM.. |

Thanks, the shell was a Hornby 1/32 Mini Cooper model kit.
