    I know everyones jumping on MP10 currently, but the big 01 guy is one of my favourites. I had a an extra and have made this guy in diaclone blue from a relatively complete junker.

    The figure was base coated matt black and multi layered with ultramarine blue, metallic blue and added a weathering effect by drybrushing chrome, silver and gun metal.

    as you can see he still needs a few touch ups and sealing, buts is close enough to showcase for now.
    used the roller upgrade kit ultramagnus gun as his weapon. added red detailing, but have since repainted the whole gun. updates soon.

    Just a couple of suggestions:

    I think yellow eyes would be killer.
    Paint them hands black! :) 
    Also, just paint the gun black to match as well

    Otherwise, I really like your work and thanks so much for sharing!

    Thanks for the comments guys, and the constructive criticism too ;) 

    Honestly, I thought he looked off, like a crazed psycho.......... couldn't quite figure out why, yellow eyes it is then:thumb 

    will get on it later once I finish off another thing, I got way too many half finished stuff lying round.

    MP-01 is an intruder bludgeon compared to the MP-10 model kit. There is no fight. LOL.
