    Hi everyone, take a look at my latest custom.
    Dark of the Moon Mirage from Beast Hunters Smokescreen.
    Had a brilliant time working on this piece and the client has been great as well.
    The figure features a new paint job, a nice mix of gloss red, metallic red and a newly sculpted face.

    The Smokescreen figure is good fun to work with, if a little cluttered when transforming but I'm really happy with the result.

    For a look at my youtube channel and some more photos, check the link below.

    The car parts on the arms are stand ins for the arm blades. They can be positioned quite nicely to give the look and silhouette of the original design. The only way I could think of keeping the transformation 'complete'

    :lol 

    You missed the entire point of the thread XD

    Anyways, smashing custom. It's been a while since I've seen DOTM Dino customs made using Smokescreen as the base.

    It looks very good! Have you considered doing the arm mod to move his arm kibble to the back? It's easy to do and the figure is still transformable.

    Its also a pretty good colour match as well. I didn't really like the standard silver face. Needs a slight bit of cutting at the back of the base of the head to allow it to look up but its a good fit.
