Classics G1 Inspired Bumblebee
 

ey gang, here's bee!

I took an RTS Bumblebee and gave him a much needed G1inspired paint job.

His doors are no longer attached to his arms, they are on a hinge system and wrap around his feet. I like the bulked up feet and un armored look to his arms now.

Added LEDs to the eyes, headlights, and tail lights. The tail lights were a pain because the new RTS Bee has solid plastic tail lights unlike the first version which had clear tail lights. I had to fabricate clear lights for the back and then add the LEDs.

Gave him a little flash with a chrome grill and side view mirror lenses.

A WFC Bumblebee pistol and a retro styled vinyl Autobot logo finish him up.

painted in acrylics, enamel, and lacquers and sealed for protection.

Wow, great work on the lights and door panels on the legs! The shin/hood panels pop off too if you want him even more G1.
