    Argh, I want to continue so bad but the weather has really thrown a wrench into my plans. I need to figure out a way I can safely spray indoors without getting everything smothered by dust :confused:

    Yeah I had the same issue. What I ended up doing was to look if the pegs were too big or the holes too big, in my case the pegs needed to be thickened up slightly. I applied some superglue over the pegs, which made the connection much better. I also ended up carving out some of the plastic that was leftover from production out of the peg holes. This totally fixed my problem in the end. But mod at your own risk haha.

    It’s almost impossible to color small areas - you can still see some green in between 862E9C67-6A97-46F4-9905-D69D8C1AB389.jpeg

    Just pretend it's an intentional layering effect, you'll sleep easier

    Once the bot is done, just transform it and paint the rest underway. A lot of parts will be accessible once you start opening up stuff

    You have to very carefully pull the sides of his face off.

    I have thought about it, but I really like original abdomen look. I may get one for some photoshoots, but won't display him with it.
