    I like the spoiler on this guy but shouldn't Slice be from the Wheeljack mold?

    Looks good so far. I like the blue. Are you planning on a head swap?

    nice colors, but execution could use some fine tuning. for sharper lines on your design try this stuff called frog tape its designed for that purpose and maybe try thinner layers in more coats it looks very thick. I tend to have problems waiting and doing thinner layer in my excitement to see how my ideas come out, so i'm just offering ideas for better quality painting so it wil look amazing.

    Yep. He could've bought a Hot Shot to use as the base, and saved himself a bunch of work.

    Pretty easy. Cut the wing off with a Dremel, then glue it to the toy
