    Neon Noodle?!?! No it's Needlenose. Another Needlenose like all the other Needlenose before him. Just a nice detailing paint job though. Not that you'd be able to tell from the pics since I used a shitty 2007 camera I used to take them with - phone dead y'all.

    Seeker and Destroy or We Come From France

    So I had the notion a while back to get the coneheads. Igear's MP versions do I thee covet. I would like to think I would not allow my addiction to get to the point of willingness to accept and mainline the outrageous going rate right out of my bank account. Another fervent hope would be that someone finally KO's these sumbitches. Neither has come to pass (yet) so I modded myself some reasonable facsimiles and I was really happy with the results actually.

    Here's the BEFORE

    With a little energon, and a lot of luck.

    I had a flat black Model Masters jar of paint that was almost empty and getting thick so I thinned it down considerably, then with a fine lining brush, sat there while it was disassembled and line washed each piece, then put him back together. Took forever, but the results were worth the time.
