    WHOA! These are some of the best customs I've ever seen. The vehicle modes legitimately look like real vehicles. The paint work is just so good.

    Damn... and I thought Xaviercal was the last word in custom TF paintjobs.

    Can't wait to see what you do with a CW Devastator or Apollyon.

    I love coming back here to look at your work! Any suggestions on how to improve the dead eyes of my Takara MP-10?

    This stuff is photo-realistic! Totally looks like scaled down real vehicles...
    so much work mate. But the payoff is pure perfection.

    Simply spectacular! I'm curious what the DOTM striker paint job would look like on MPM-04. Either way, it's really great to see these customs again!

    Astounding work...utterly amazing!!!

    I have two technical questions as a novice re-painter, firstly what paint did you use for the metallic red? Here in the UK I am struggling to find a metallic red model paint....secondly, how do you ensure parts dont get scratched when transforming...do you sand down parts to increase clearance or use a specific top coat?

    Edit: one more, how did you acheive the chromed look? Paint never seems to be shiny enough
