Figure I might as well post this here just to let more people know an easy way to make Despotron's legs look a little better that looks nice in gun mode too. Just added some Tamiya gunmetal to the front of his shins. I think it makes his lower legs look better and not so much like huge thick blocks of black. If you want to do the same remember to use a couple of thin coats, adding each after the first is fully dry, and use up and down brush strokes all in the same direction as much as possible for a smooth finish.
I've been thinking about doing this but using plain grey instead of metallic paint. He definitely looks good with it though.
