In an 3DS SA Ebay auction I received another S1 Cynder in a bundle of figures. Since I already have one I wanted to make my own Toy Fair Purple Metallic variant. I mixed three different paints and this is the closest I got before giving up. I also couldn't bring myself to painting the base like the real Toy Fair Cynder. I didn't mind because the purple is not right color.

You'll need to post remote your photos on a picture hosting site like photobucket. It was suggested to me by another member on DS to edit your photos 700 pixel wide so it doesn't overtake the screen.

Do i need a photobucket account?

Yes. You don't need an account for Imgur though...

Or Tinypic.

While watching the movie Prometheus, I went ahead and painted an extra Drobot from the same ebay auction. I may enhance and detail more of the silver parts later.

Amazing!

My McDonald's dark Spyro! The blue/purple paint on the fire started to flake off right before I took the picture. I plan to renew its coat, however.

Sorry for the page stretch, my bad.

BTW this is my first custom, so, please only constructive criticism.

That's really good!

Thanks!

Nice job on Dark Spyro. So remember next time resize your photo to 700 pixel width.

Yeah, it was my first pic post. I hope to improve.

That doesn't really matter... Just don't make the image so big it won't fit on the screen :3

Here's a custom I started a while ago and recently finished.

I call him Swamp Gill Grunt, plus he has a metal outfit since I didn't have the right colors for his real outfit.

That plastic is extremely smooth so paint won't adhere to it well, you want to rough it up with sandpaper first so the paint can grip to it. Then you can seal it with a glossy sealant so it's shiny again, but it wouldn't be translucent anymore. If you're going to keep him with the fire missile in his mouth, you might as well only paint the bit that sticks out of his mouth otherwise the mechanism inside him will it'll scratch the rest of the paint off anyway.

I only painted the parts visible. I knew when I first looked at it that paint wouldn't stick, but I tried anyway.

That's a pretty Bash!

So far so good - still have to touch up spots and do his nails. Don't have a name for him yet. hmm Also did a light second coat of pearl white to Bash . He looks a lot better.

Hmm.. Patriotic Sonic Boom?

She would go great with the 4th of July.

I thought about that too with RWB paint scheme.

Star Spangled Boom~

How about Captain Sonic Boom, the color reminds me of Captain America
