I decided his face needed more paint, so I went with a real type color set up of a lions head..The green eyes get that black intense eye liner, the nose is black, his snout is silver--I was going to do white, but that just looked out of place--His lower jaw is silver and he has black lips.
His giant missles got that chromed paint to it, and they match almost perfectly. I used anepoxy to put them together--they're really quite solid. But he has to remove them if he plans on going in car mode. They can be held on by either portion of the missles/wings.
Over all, I really like the way this guy came out.
Yeah, the silver really did it for him, the flat 1 color of gold was a bit much, but with the face detailed, I think it really brought him all together as a lion.
