    i am absolutely in love with TR repugnus, two things i wasn't too keen on were his lack of outward movement in his beast mode arms, and his hollow translucent beast eyes, i've fixed both!

    for the beast mode arms, i gently filed down the outer parts of the joint that folds the arms against the chest so they can now bend both directions



    TYAH-DAHHH!

    second thing i did was take some holographic nail polish and paint behind the eyes, more of a personal touch but i love the effect

    Sweet, was wondering if I could do the same with the arms by shaving or filing, and now I know! Didn't know the eyes were translucent either, that's a nice touch

    Damn, that eye effect is killer. What's the make/brand of the polish?

    Nice! I am toying with the idea of using green glow-in-the-dark glue on the inside there.

    The nail polish looks pretty darn good though!
