Restoration 2 - KO Combiner Wars Combaticon / Bruticus - Other Restoration and Paint Touch Up

Did a few touch up here and there for my KO CW Combaticons / Bruticus. Some touch ups include: (1) Swindle's wheel-rims are painted silver, face also painted with metallic black.



And just realised this KO Swindle's gun is the newer version that has tabs to allow the gun to tab at around the shoulder area!!!



(2) Vortex head, arms, missiles and torso are painted over to reduce the number of colours, as the previous scheme is too colourful...


(3) Onslaught's wheel-rims and Bruticus head are also painted silver.



(4) Brawl - cut a small piece of 1.5/2mm ABS and paste inside the gestalt foot hole, which the gestalt foot connector will not be able to go as inner as before. This will make Brawl same height as Swindle in leg mode.


(5) KO PE hands and feet are also painted. I first sprayed a layer of "aluminium" colour, but the surface looks too dull. Even after I spray silver over, the shiny appearance is unable to be achieved. To make things worse, the KO PE hand-feet plastic does not allow the spray paint to adhere well to it.


Some other miscellaneous restorations like tightening of some looser joints are also done with various degree of success... And now my KO CW Bruticus looks like this... nice...
