Unique Toys Desperado (3P "Transformers Masterpiece" DOTM Megatron) repaint. COMPLETE

[Kanrabat]

Whoa! Nice paint work! That was an impressive... transformation from toy-like to movie-like!

The vehicle mode looks great! I like the realism of the tarp with the chain on the trailer.

This project must have required countless hours!

Yeah, my paint work was nice enough... for a day.

However, something was nagging me and I found that the colors were all wrong. It's nice on it's own, but it's NOT the "true" colors he's supposed to be. So I spent the whole week to make things right.

Now Megatron have his "proper" colors. Plus he now look truly battered and rusted.

You can look up the first post to see original version I came up with and my impressions on the toy itself. It was not easy to do but I think that NOW I got it right.

Enjoy the updated and FINAL pictures!

First, a reminder of the original vanilla toy:



Then, what I did at first for the truck mode:



And now the improved and FINAL version:



















The tarp and chains still can only rest there with no way for things to be solid. A design oversights.





And now for the robot mode.

First, a reminder of the CGI model from the movie:



Then, see my previous version who do not looks like the movie shot at all:



And then, here's the DEFINITIVE version that I came up with:





















By flipping the calve panels over, you can directly compare the unpainted plastic to the painted areas.



Now with the accessories. First the shotgun storage:



And the final completed look with chains and hood.









Final comparison, with the other two "Megatrons" from Unique Toys:



Now I think I got it right and everything is perfect. Do you think so too?
