Hey dude, I got your pm, but I haven't had time to give you a really good reply. I'll get back to ya! You know me :)
Yo boy! Glad to see you back around! You need to check this thread out among other things: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/235171-alternators-binaltech-fandom-unite-lets-see-some-pics.html Hope to talk to you again soon!
If you've owned any of the Subaru KOs, it's about the same as those. It's midrange, I suppose, in terms of quality. The Vipers are at the low end being pretty floppy, the Subarus are midrange, and the RX-8s are really nice (very tight, etc).
Hey man, as for my Hot Shot, I didn't alter the paint at all on it. The base bot for mine was the KO BT yellow Subaru that has the black stripes like the movie Bumblebee. I've only posted a wip thread at this point as well. I did cite Squall42080's Hot Shot as the inspiration of my own piece. I'm pretty sure he used Kyrlon Fusion yellow as well, as he almost exclusively used Kyrlon Fusion.
It's been so great having you around here the last few days. You have no idea just with what bit I've talked to you recently how much I've been inspired. Certainly, don't ever be a stranger, buddy :)
Oh my goodness! It's so great to see you around! I actually may need to talk to you about getting a Ratchet head down the line here. I really hope you keep on making such cool pieces like that and post them here! I'm the same way, man. I'm into the movie line just a little bit, but I've been trying to go through and get some of the gaps for my G1 collection. Anyways, I'm the in the middle of a move to a new house as well. Don't be a stranger dude! :)
