    Got Titans Return Quake recently and I really like the figure! I felt he needed his old partners though, so I also picked up a clearanced Generations Scoop to repaint his Nebulons into Targetmasters Heater and Tiptop:

    Those are perfect! I'll totally have to do this myself when I eventually nab Quake. Great idea!

    Yes they were by brush, I do want to learn airbrushing one of these days but for something small like these Targetmasters a fine tipped brush works well.

    These look great. Have to get some of these myself and paint them up. Great job.

    You inspired me to do this myself. Letting the paint dry now on tip top...having to wait for the right color paint to come in mail now.
