Description Here's a pic of a custom painted Transformers Revenge Of The Fallen Voyager Class Megatron I've been working on. This toy was originally green and black plastic with some silver paint trim. You should be able to google it if you'd like to see the original.

It has been completely repainted to better match the look of Megatron in the upcoming Transformers movie sequel. Based with Tamiya silver spray paint for plastics. Panel lined with acrylics. Given several ink washes to give a weathered look. More detailing using acrylics and enamels. Several layers of drybrushing for the rust effects.

Stands about 7 inches tall in robot mode. All "Mech Alive" features still work perfectly. Gears inside Megatron's chest spin when his waist is turned. Large blade extends when his arm is straightened. Missile works as originally designed. A great deal of detailing has been done to the head, but the light piping still works great.

Thanks for taking a look.

I was thinking of repainting some of my figures. Does acrylic peel or chip easily? How easy is it to get smooth surfaces?

This is gorgeous work! I've been considering doing the same with the one I have, the green just doesn't go well with 'ole Megs, haha. Anyway, wonderful details and painting work!

Do you sell repaints at all, Tim? You could probably make a small fortune on eBay, people seem willing to pay an awful lot for well done TF repaints.

And, believe me, this is well done =] Very much so

Looks good, why couldn't he look like that initially..damn you hasbro. Seeing him in silver looks like he's worth buying, interested in Hasbro "repaint."

Awesome Job on the Custom Paint I wish they all looked like this. Im glad to see you did the paint job on the Voyager version of Megatron too. The leader class Megatron was a disappointment in terms of articulation and proportions in the arms. Fantastic Job on the Paint.

I'm currently working on a couple 6 inch G.I. Joe/Cobra custom figures. I'm also in the process of building a 1/24 scale movie style Hound maquette from a WWII model kit.

As far as ROTF repaints, I'd like to give The Fallen a crack. The other new Megatrons will probably get the once over from me in the future too.

I haven't pick up a Leader yet. The Voyager is worth a buy for sure. A million times better than TF1 voyager Megs. It's a fun toy.

Are you planning on repainting The Fallen into movie-accurate colors as well?
