    Are you using spray can or airbrush? How do you do the yellow? My spray can yellow's color pigment do not have enough covering pwer I think.

    MP-08 Masterpiece Grimlock. Figured any Transfan would've recognized it...

    Good photography skills and great airbrush skills rarely go together in these forums. My compliments, sir. :thumbs2:

    Hey what's that Diaclone pterodactyl robot doing next to the Dinobots? Nice custom Slug, by the way.

    Oh wow, this is like a dream come true for me.
    I know you guys all have some sort of nostalgia for the G1 toys and dinobots are covered in chrome and transparent parts, but I never liked any of that and I would just like them in yellow.
    Ta-da! There's all yours and they look great.
    Grimlock here is very impressive with all the detail work. It's a ton of it but it's not intrusive. All the paint apps are really smooth and really precise. Great work!!
