    I always thought something looked wrong on the original figure, and I think you've nailed the problem; the fingers have to be independently articulated! Now he looks magnificent!

    Seeing the different layers of detail on the tattoos is really quite wonderful...

    That looks totally frigging awesome!
    Those paint details are sick, man.

    The only thing missing which would add to his robot mode are the fins on his rocketlauncher.

    thanks, unfortunately, they don't go anywhere. I could, perhaps have them clip onto the bottoms of the wings, but wouldn't make much sense there. I think as far as he went w/ the movie (as for where they went when he transformed) they went into his legs (by the normal thrusters)

    Thanks, the wrists were essential to upgrade

    Thanks guys!

    I know, I wasn't going for 100% accurate, only 87%. but thanks also.

    sure, I'll take some close up shots later on and post those.

    thanks guys for the support!

    Thanks. I prefer the leader still, especially when looking at them side by side. The bulkiness of the chest, the legs, head and the arms look much more "accurate" on the leader class.

    yes, the tattoos were tough, but... fun. Thanks!


    Thanks guys!

    thanks man, just painted them with a well mixed 90% dark gray. I didn't wanna go with black, thought they'd overpower the other details and stuff.

    Thanks Dan!

    thanks man, means a lot!

    it's cool. I know what you're getting at. you'll have your turn ;) 

    thought about it, maybe a "bonus" on the auction?

    Thanks.

    thanks for the compliments!

    yes, it was. I took some images, then sketched out (rough) with pencil where the larger/more prominent patterns/designs would go, then painted away. thanks.

    see above man, and thanks. that's a great idea. I suppose a lot of you guys will/could use a stencil with FPs' protector coming soon...

    I think I will, some time this coming week...

    thanks tim.

    not sure what you mean, the ones going vertical or horizontal in jet mode? thanks!

    thanks guys. I hope he comes out soon. I wouldn't mind doing a thundercracker and skywarp with this figure...

    Thanks very much!

    I know, as stated above, I might throw something in the auction as a bonus item. Thanks everyone!

    I know, I'm thinking Skywarp first. Black, with "ghost" very dark purple tattoos/markings similar style to what's on Starscream

    thanks man. MP Astrotrain's on hold, focusing on commissions for the next few more months.

    Thanks!

    I think TC and skywarp should have the tattoo... it's for the seeker leader only :p 

    have you ever think to actually etch the tattoo instead of just paint?

    do you mean you "don't" think they should?
    It would be a very very VERY tedious process etching all that onto him...it probably can be done easiest using stencils and an etching agent/acid...though I've never used that stuff on plastic, only glass and metals...

    That looks really awesome dude! I think next, you ought to get a Battle Hooks Prime, and do him up, but all battle damaged and what not, to look like the CGI model. You know, cracked windshields, missing parts, burn marks, what have you. That would be sweet.
