51: SS-23 KSI Sentry
- Robot Mode -
KSI Sentry is an interesting bot to work on since the robot mode frame is Stinger, rather than the Trax drones we see in the movie. I decided to map the Trax details onto the Stinger frame as much as I could, thus the headlights on the chest, among other details (particularly the legs). I painted the visor in metallic green, and added some red detailing that appears on the Trax drones in the movie. I did add some detaisl that weren't on the Trax model but fit the Stinger mold, like the gunmetal and blue breakup on the shins. I also mixed several blue paints together to get as close as I could to the figure's included base color for some of the bot mode details. The most challenging part of this project was definitely the headlights, they were very difficult to get looking both clean and symmetrical.
- Alt Mode -
I actually really like the blue paint this figure has by default, so I decided to keep it. As for detailing, I looked up several blue Pagani Huayras and found that a lot of them had white striping, so I decided to implement those details, sort of mishmashing together a few of the exaples I saw. I went over the headlight sections in gunmetal and picked the lights themselves out in silver, added orange and red reflective bits on the sides, and added some gunmetal to the hood. For the back, I picked out the taillights in red with a silver center, and did some silver trim.
Paint used:
Testor's enamels:
- Gloss tangerine
- Gloss red
- Metallic silver
- Flat gunmetal
Acrylics:
- Decoart gunmetal
- Decoart gloss shimmering silver
- Decoart emperor gold
- Decoart gloss white
- Folkart metallic blue sapphire + Decoart true blue + Decoart deep sapphire (mixed for base color in robot mode)
Other:
- Krylon gloss coat
