That's a cool Bonecutter configuration... and a cool paint job on Sledge Trooper.
and yup, it is Glyph, just had to get it since it was a blue Bumblebee repaint and it was available to those who didn't make it to botcon.

Very interesting... Is that Tap-Out or Glyph? (looks it up) Glyph. Anyway, I did post more images, including a rather regal looking Bone Cutter: A slightly familiar configuration and paint scheme for Sledge Trooper: And a general group shot of all ten of my current figures (one of the Razorclaws is lost in the shot:) Oh, my poor dial-up!... Your 'Basic' Bone Cutter looks great! He kinda reminds me of the bug type characters from Star Wars episode 2 hehe. Keep up the good work!

Just one more image... Here's my "Arctic Ranger," an Alpha Ranger I repainted with an arctic camo design. I used a mixed bluish grey [greyish blue, maybe?] for the armor, as you can see in the group shot; here's without the armor to show the camo work.

I was going to start a thread like this, so i'm glad i checked the second page first to see if there already was one. That silver sledge trooper is awesome! I wish I had a digital camera so i could partake in showing off my creations. I could scan them, but its just not the same as seeing them in a cool pose.

Here's a little something I came up with. The neo's are gonna need more than what they have to fight those Biomechas. So how about an Armored Soldier...Basically an Alpha Ranger who recycled an dead Sledge Trooper unit. grayfox58.tripod.com/Armored_Soldier.jpg

[glow=green,2,300]I never noticed how much the Alpha Ranger Looks like RoboCop. That is a cool morph.

[glow=aqua,2,300]He uses acrylics(sp?). Try a Google search for results to find sellers. I'm sure there will be quite a few who you can purchase this type of paint from.

Actually, I use Testors acrylic paints... purchased, admittedly, from Wal-Mart. I have the airbrush set - which right now I just use for the paints and turntable carousel; the "value" acrylic set; and several single paints I found at Wal-Mart and Xick's (D) Five And Dime in Branson. My collection currently includes:
Black Flat, Gloss Black, Camo Gray Flat, White Flat, Neutral Gray Flat, White Gloss, Red Gloss, Orange Gloss, Yellow Gloss, Flourescent Green, Green Gloss, Teal Gloss, Gloss Blue, Purple Gloss, Gold Gloss, Silver Gloss, Flat Olive, Cinnamon, and Peach.
The bluish gray on my Arctic Ranger repaint was a custom mix of Neutral Gray Flat with a very small amount of Teal Gloss mixed in; I think it turned out great. As for my painting, I prefer to use a dirty, blackwashed, smeared look so that the figures, stylized as they are, have a more realistic look, and so that any painting errors or scratches don't stand out as much. Personally, I'm waiting for the Street Punk vs. Terra(Trans?) Scorcher set, which may be out as early as May; I plan to repaint the Biomecha as the obvious counterpart of my Sledge Trooper custom...
