    Nothing new as such but something I've always wanted to do, MP G2 Grimlock.
    This mold is a joy to work with, really enjoyed it.

    Basically everything that was grey is now blue, and gave the sword a lick of paint too.

    Any comments or criticisms fully appreciated and welcomed.
    Cheers.

    Love it!! Any Issues when painting around the Dino arm sockets? Like potential rubbing around that arm socket?

    Wow, seriously impressed mate! :bowdown: 

    Hastak missed a trick when they didn't reissue Grimmy in G2 colours, let's hope one of them sees this and smells the money. :)

    Thanks dude!
    Pretty much no issues around the arm sockets at all, the mold is pretty forgiving to work with. It does need some sanding here and there but compared to a MP seeker which was my last custom this was so much easier to work with.

    Haha, cheers dude. I don't think theres anything for you to be jealous about mate, I've seen your work!!! You got skillz :thumb 

    Thanks kindly Neuta!! :) 

    Thanks doucoo, much appreciated :thumb

    I was wondering when this would hit the radicons mate, great work, really shines like the old toy.
    Do you have an untouched one to take side by side shots?
    Ooh and g2 swipe too?

    NOTE: When I say 'factory applied' I mean that as a compliment.... Not in a MP Sideswipe kind of way! ;)

    Thanks mate!
    Great idea on the side by side pics, I haven't got an original toy though :( 
    I've got a WST version, and a FOC G2 repaint?! :) 
    I've also got G2 Swipe too.......I'll have to do this!

    Cheers PG :) 


    Thanks buddy :thumb 

    Cheers dude :) 


    Thanks CS mate.

    :lolol  brilliant!!

    Cheers buddy :) 

    Thanks again PG, I'm kinda proud of the sword.

    Haha, I love that phrase, humbled you would use them for my custom though!! Ta mate!

    Thanks Geeone, not the first to do this, but I put my own spin on him and the right blue was really important for me. Glad you like it mate.
