    looks great, I would have gone a tad darker on the windows....but that is my only criticism. Cant wait to see the finished result.

    your criticism is noted, the actual shade of red is a tad darker, that paint had a lot of bubbles and was sanded down to smooth it out. New pics are coming in a couple of days. I just got done painting the green and most of the gold. Tomorrow I'm going to try to get all of the red detail as well as the black touch ups done. And come Tuesday, I'll hopefully have pics going up

    paint seems a bit thick, and I'd have used more green and silver highlighting than you have, but not bad for a start.

    I planned to, and have. As I said when I posted those pics, it definitely needs work. And the paint looks thick (to me too) because it was put on less than 24 hours before those photos were taken. Thanks for looking and letting me know what you think! :thumb

    Awesome work! I know a lot of people aren't fans of it, but I personally really like Shattered Glass. I'd say SG Optimus is more cruel than Megatron.
