    Ah, thanks for the explanation. Going to try that when I repaint my Megatron, though I'll use a silver car coat as the base paint (you'd be surprised at how good that works; used it on my Blackout. Good luck getting that to crack!)

    And yeah, it is. Really enjoy talking with you, even though we have our differences about Megatron's movie VA. :p

    Wow it amazes me how close this guy is to the movie model in bot mode, if only Hasbro did him like you have done.

    Do you do commission work? That's how much I like it.

    Most awesome, you definitely capture the weathered look of the film incarnation. For a second, I thought this was a movie-accurate sculpture!

    Crazy. I am really not one to complain about paint jobs but I really think this is the first time I have seen a custom paint job that would make me buy it in a heartbeat when I have consistantly passed over the original in stores. Congrats on the great job.

    That is a truly excellent looking repaint. Looks incredible. I just got him today, and while I'm not bothered by the existing deco, I had planned all along to repaint it myself...but wow, I seriously couldn't envision making it look this nice.
