    The Fall of Cybertron game brought me back to the Transformers franchise, and Grimlock from that line was one of the first toys I started my collection with. Too bad he was the only Dinobot released from Hasbro. So after I discovered that another company filled that gap, I tried to get my hands on those for a while, and now I finally did! So here is what I did to Swoop after I got him: I painted over all the yellow plastic with gold, and panellined him to make him look more like in the game. The result speaks for itself I would say:

    Nice job but it would have been better if you had put the comparison images at the beginning ;)

    That it's better (in my opinion) to show the comparison first. Because when I saw the first picture I wasn't sure how much you painted on him. It only became clear to me when I got to the last two. That would have been better the other way round.

    Ah, I see, thanks for the feedback^^
    I put the pose shot first, since this is what they actually look like on my shelf, but I guess I can change things up a little next time
