trying a custom figure

I decided a while ago I want to try to make a custom figure- just a repaint.  The idea wasn't mine, but I am going to try it.

I am gonna turn the new starscream armada figure into Pharma.

After much issues getting the right paint, the figure is disassembled and one side is primed.  tomorrow gonna prime the other side, and once dry- start painting.  i'll take pics of my progress!  I hope it turns out alright.

I was lucky and found 2 of these starscreams in a store and snagged them both up- one for my collection, and one to try to repaint.

we'll see how it goes!

I am just hoping using tape for straight lines doesn't pull off the primer.  once it is done, I have to seal it, but who knows how fragile it is. my pal uses this stuff, but I may have to use another type of paint fr future ones if this turns out ok.
