    The only thing trickier than painting these is photographing them. These are still a bit glossier than I prefer.

    Oh god, absolutely ordering that Sari head. Had been hoping you'd make on the moment that art showed up. Also, is there any chance you could make a version of the smirking Headmaster head where the horns attach by a circular peg, so they can swivel down for titan master mode? I tried to modify mine to do that, but am having trouble tightening the connection up afterwards.

    I'd suggest a coating of matte varnish spray, then using Pledge floor polish to make some parts like the eyes glossy again.

    I'd designed them to be pulled out and then reinserted, with the oblong shape designed so they'd still be grip-able with a 3mm hand port (I was going to make them 3mm round pegs, but the walls were too thin for printing), but if the 2mm peg I used on Sari works as planned in multiple materials, I can go back and revise Headmaster to use something similar.

    And now for the new hotness:

    Gah! Every time I place an order, you post something even better! Will definitely add the Wheeljack jet pack (Jackpack?) next.

    And the GIJoe crossovers as well. You might want to highlight these two as being very accessable to entry level painters? They should be a bit more user friendly than some of the others.

    I whipped this up real fast to show what I'd like to do with Blurr.

    That body would work perfectly with the Snake Eyes head as well.

    It's way, way, way down the list. The moment it happens, if it does, it will be posted here.

    Would you be interested in making a head for Sideswipe? Ooh or maybe an homage to the animated autotrooper?

    Today's update is...

    IDW's TEN!

    [​IMG]

    As always, click here. This one and CC are both good kits for new customizers, since you can get them in yellow (For Ten) or Blue (For CC) and then only have one or two details to paint in.

    That's a good one. I think Galvatron is probably the best body choice for that.

    Say, I had a thought, how would NeoG1/Animated Headmaster's Antennae look on the side of the sideways to simulate the dangling legs/horns he had?

    Saw a cool idea on FB the other day, can we request a Batman face for Mindwipe? Might even be an easy conversion from Snakeeyes?
