    I know he’s ‘toon accurate’ as far as colours go, but I couldn’t bear seeing the half-arsed paint apps on Kingdom Warpath’s arms and the total lack of colour in his treads so I decided to give him a more G1 toy colour scheme.

    Tracks are painted with Tamiya Gunmetal and the whitish bits are painted with a mix of Mr Hobby Wine Red and Tamiya Red Brown.

    I may also add some chrome to his shoulders and the moulded wheels in his tracks. I’ll decide once he’s dry.

    I need to do his shoulders properly and touch up a couple of bits I clearly missed but otherwise he's more or less done.

    This is happening when I get mine. Looks great, but I gotta ask, who'd you sell your soul to to get this guy so soon? I haven't hardly seen wave 2 of Earth rise.

    Wave One Core Class, Deluxe and Voyager started turning up here with specialty stores just before Christmas. Full retail rollout is early January, I believe.

    Redid his shoulders using the Molotow chroming pen. It looked better to just do the whole shoulder area instead of just the wee box bit. I can't take a photo to save my life but it does look better than this in hand :S

    Cheers! You guys have had SS86 start showing up already so it's swings and roundabouts really innit? Cannot WAIT to get my hands on Scourge and Grimlock!!
