    If it really came in that color I would have been really tempted. You did a great job!

    If he had been like that from the start, would've been an instant-buy. Alas, I'll just stick to good ol Astrotrain.

    What yellow did you use to get that coverage? It looks excellent. I need to redo mine now.

    It's Testor's gloss yellow. About 10 coats. It sucked, and it doesn't look as clean in hand as it does in the photos. Never doing yellow again without a good coat of white primer first. Live and learn.

    10 coats? Yikes. That's why I hate yellow. It really does look fantastic, though. Great job.

    10 coats? WTF. By hand or airbrush? I usually use Krylon Fusion, two coats does it fine most of the time.

    This looks great! I hope Takara does something similar. When painting yellow, I usually go back and forth with white/yellow/white/yellow etc... You usually end up with a nice bright yellow.

    Any vehicle mode pics?

    Nice paint job. HasTak should re-release this guy as Raiden by painting each section of the armored train in the color of one of the Trainbots. I don't know how he'd look in the other modes though. I'm not familiar with his transformation.

    Looks like canary yellow but what's that red? Love it and I think I'll do the same. Thanks for the inspiration.
