    Uh...sloppy? I don't see any glaring overpaint, no wacky weird colors, I mean, that is just.....awesome. I can't wait to see you finish this, and the alt mode.

    Can't wait to see this one finished--it looks awesome so far! Again, it's amazing what a difference the white face makes versus the toy's silver! For the black detail on the eyes--did you paint that on the face or the lightpiping part?

    Thanks, guys. I'm probably my own worst critic.
    The eyes were painted with a dark gun metal on the face sculpt itself. The actual eyes have a deep red color with a bright pink pupil that I need to adjust.

    Looks like I'll be sending you $ again! It's starting to look like another one of your MP paint jobs!

    Looks awesome so far! That's almost exactly what I want to do to my Knock Out when I get him.

    I'm not at all impressed by this mold, but you've made it look great. I love the quality of your work and the special attention you pay to the little details, so I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished product. Keep the Prime customs coming CP!

    I'm a little conflicted on his crest stripe color. On the box front it shows white-ish, on the side it's clearly black, then on the show it's the dark red/maroon. They never keep it the same. The rims are also painted on the box back a golden yellow and his shins are scab red/maroon. I'd just like a little consistency on the models from them. Is that too much to ask? :lol

    i may not be good at this,but i think the basis of a accurate color scheme is the CGI model,not the box art.

    Get paint, apply brush to paint, wipe excess, apply brush to rims.

    It just goes to show how much personality a great paint job gives a figure. When i first saw the picture I was like "No way, that can't be the same figure." Great work man.
