    Just a simple repaint of the old Classics Deluxe figure. It would be nice if Hasbro could revisit and improve on the this figure minus the punching gimmick. Did the usual stuff. Black base coat, dry brushed silver and shades of red and blues.

    Just looking at the thumbnails, I would have thought it was a masterpiece. Well, I mean it is, just a smaller size. Excellent job.

    I'm always impressed and inspired by your ability to make reds and yellows look good and smooth when drybrushed on top of dark base coats.

    A super clean but realistic paint job. Real cool.

    Yup. All dry brushed. I just keep doing it until I get the look I want.

    Thanks. Sometimes I'm surprised how good that figure can be if painted right. If only the alt mode didn't suck and didn't have that gimmick.

    I like it, looking at his from a phone, never occurred to me this is a classic prime, great job.
