i’m glad to see that bruticus is so supportive of devvys gender identity

I’ve been collecting Transformers for nearly a year and five months. I’d like to say that I take pride in all the money I save buying most of them secondhand or in bigger lots where i just sell what i don’t want (so what i save is technically free ;3)

Facebook Marketplace is a beautiful thing, yall don’t sleep on it

However a thing about me that definitely helps is the fact that im not afraid of a hunt, i’ll definitely sacrifice an afternoon to make a 80 mile trip for a $20 grimlock lol

Ive got an adjustable tiered shelf which helps when i wanna move taller figures around and bendable plant grow lights for photos and dynamic lighting!

With the Skybound Comics being my favorite Transformers media, I’ve been interested in adding a Cliffjumper to my collection for a long time. Unfortunately, he’s one of those characters where none of the releases feel good enough for me to justify the purchase. I basically just wanted mine to look like how he does in the comic and have a clear window. Since the Earthrise release is the perfect mold for me (and way cheaper than the buzzworthy bumblebee one), I decided to buy one for $20

And i decided to take matters into my own hands! It doesn’t look the best and it’s already starting to chip in places but it’s good enough for me :) Two coats of acrylic paint and then sprayed sealant on. However, on one of the arms it looks like the red plastic had bled through?

Let me know what i could’ve done better! Not bad for my first time, huh?
