Cyberwulf

Following last night's strange outage, here are a couple of images of my basically-finished Sabrewulf repaint of Cybertron Snarl. I'm particularly pleased with the dark metallic brown over the bulk of the model... It was a random mixture of two enamel paints, and it turned out looking great. I actually managed to match the second batch pretty well, considering the first batch was just a few drips of each paint.

The rest of the colourscheme was an attempt to ensure it wasn't all brown and plain. There's copper, silver, touches of gold and a few red highlights dotted about. Of course, I wanted to recolour his translucent yellow missile, but don't really have anything suitable. Translucent red would be ideal...

With so much of the metallic brown, I felt it was important to highlight a few details on his wolf head, hence the gold around the mouth and the black and non-metallic brown emphasising the bags under his red eyes. The gold also extends through the narrow bands leading to his ears, and in the ears themselves.


Robot mode maintains the use of silver to break up the browns, also adding gold to the strip across his chest, the plate at his groin, and his face. There's also a lighter brown used on some of his chest/torso panels. Any kind of paintwork would improve this model dramatically - the plastic used on the basic model doesn't show up any of the molded detail - but the metallics really make the detail leap out.

This is easily the most extensive repaint I've done so far, and I'm really please with the way it turned out.
