Description Neon orange... Yuk.

Bay would surely not have had Bludgeon in the movie with neon orange in his color scheme.
It may have been pretty cool in the 80s but I didn't feel it fit his samurai look or the movie-verse.

I repainted ROTF Buldgeon to look more true to the more realistic scary decepticon movie style and resculpted the bottom half of his skull face to look more like a skull.

I had to shave away some of his long sword blade and the palms of his hands to make sure the paint did not scrape off when in the turret barrel or in his hands.

I think the gold in place of the orange, and a a bit more maroon with some gunmetal rather than plastic gray fits him better.

I also replaced all of the green with Tamiya British green and dry brushed most of him with silver.

This Repaint is definitely much better than the original. Gold is more fitting than that orange.

ahhh could you explain how you got his head off? the only way i can see is unscrewing his upper body which i dont want to do and his head doesnt turn all the way around XP

That was the fun challenge of it. I didn't take his head off. I rammed some sculpt in there and whittled that sum-bitch into a bottom jaw and teeth using an exacto blade and a couple of sculpting tools. You just have to make sure the sculpt isn't touching (or at least sticking) to the chest so when it dries the head still turns.

much nicer this way, but i think i would have picked a copper or bronze color instead, still gives it a kinda orangy look and make it darker, the gold it to bright.

Believe it or not it is the lighting in the pics making it look brighter on the flat shining areas.

Very beautifully done.
I too have an issue with his head... it being too fat for my tastes. His helmet seems too small, making his head seem bloated.

Just the same your paint application appears flawless. Good job!

Oh, and in regards to the head comment, that's more of a mold issue than a critique on your work, just to clarify.

Love the work on his face and the detail of the wires and gears and pistons in his back pack. Another great custom figure!
