Kind of a stretch, I know, but its the first thing i thought of when I first saw Breacher. I am also way more familiar with cartoon Devcon. "The Gambler" is one of my favorite G1 episodes even though it's terrible. I'm sucker for Autobots who cheat and episodes named after Kenny Rogers songs. Too bad "Microbots" or "The Ultimate Weapon" weren't named "Coward of the County." I have repurposed ROTF Breacher as Devcon.

That the little fellow is pushing fourteen years old, I'm surprised the mettallic paint hadn't flaked off far earlier than it has! Maybe it's from all the nine-year-old-me's grubby hands playing with him all the time! He looks good in blue, too!

Just mask off those sections. I never have removed pins/rivets for the purposes of painting. And you can just repaint tires black. Use regular scotch tape to mask off windows Oh naw, that’s what tinfoil is for. Just mask off those sections. I never have removed pins/rivets for the purposes of painting.

On the other hand, it's probably easier to paint over green with darker green. And then I have to decide if it matters to me that it has Mini-Con pegs.

It's a little pricy at $3.70 USD, but it's a liquid pigment red designed to cover primer as a good base. Here's what GW's Blood Red look like on black undercoat after a layer of Mechrite used as base: http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/232159-.html Willis, next time you try to paint red, invest in some GW Foundation Mechrite red.
