    Machine Boy's Warbatron KO's painted up. these things are dirt cheap, same price as combiner war limbs but superior in every way, anyone thinking of getting these the quality is very good and close to the Warbatron set :cool: 

    Done with Tamiya Acylic 10ml pot paints (colour's on request)

    Will add alt mode pics tomorrow, a few quickies for now

    Woah, they looked like nice KOs until your paint job made them look as good or maybe even better than the real deal.
    But where are you seeing them for the price of Combiner Wars limbs? I'm only finding them at ebay for $30 shipped at the lowest. Minus shipping maybe about CW priced, but that shipping doubles it, at least at ebay.

    Thanks man

    Cheers, no real issues just needs a good few coats with all the nooks and crannies on these guys and a decent clear coat to finish to avoid paint rub on the ports and hinges ..also don't put the paint on too thick on bits that clip together, they are a tight fit to start with

    I'm contemplating dying them, but I think it will be tricky getting the colors right.

    That would be interesting, if you do it make sure you post them up here, wouldn't mind seeing how that approach works out
