    I've been meaning to do that with mine. What brand, color # did you use? Any primer before or coating after?

    About 24 hours just to be on the safe side. That's after giving it a few coats to complete coverage.

    What do you use to help you spray all areas? Do you turn it over with a pair of disposable gloves?

    I usually have it balanced on a bit of blutack and leave half an hour or so between coats of paint.

    The XTB one looks good, I don't need this one.

    I actually have always loved my V1. I bought it for my classics shelf, since my "minibots" are more around Classics Bee's height (or a touch taller). He fits right in for me.

    But cool to see them revisit the guy. As much as I love the original, I know a lot of people had a big issue with how slim he was.

    XTB must have really handed them their lunch to go back and redo Seaspray of all characters.

    I came _soooo_ close to buying Spindrift today from TCP. Sigh of relief that I didn't when I saw the slide.

    2.0 looks way better and scales with their other mini bots.

    Wow, they really went back to the drawing board (dear FT, we need a new Perceptor!) on this one. I still love the XTB version but this really does scratch more of that cartoon itch if that's folks preference.

    Spindrift went on a fat diet.
