    ...or just a better paint job, at least. I could not resist finally owning a Dinobot, even with most of my collection for transformers in storage. He looks so good.

    I think he looks a lot better with these little touches.

    Did you paint the sword? Or was the tail painted pink and you removed the paint?
    Either way it’s MUUUUUCH better!

    Nice.

    I was hoping the sword was painted pink and you removed it to a gray plastic underneath. I can’t paint worth a damn, but I can handle paint removal. Gotta get rid of that doggy wiener...

    It’s the deepest blue from this set, actually. They’re really handy, and have lasted forever so far. Got them back in August, and they’ve been a part of a lot of my customs. Like this one I’m working on. The greens come from the set as well.

    Looks great! What paint did you use for the inside of his tail?

    It’s a paint pen brand called Painters. They’re some acrylic art paint markers I’ve only ever seen at Wal-Mart. Nice paint, but it needed some layers first.

    Did you have any issue to the Dino claws drying? I did something very similar to my own Dinobot on Monday, and the paint only on his claws are still a bit sticky, after 4 days

    The paint pens I use tend to try quickly and without mess or stickiness, I a half hour or less, but they don’t always adhere well. I really should use a primer to ensure they stick better.
