    Thats cool, I have arpound 15 images. But I would like to re-shoot it anyways!

    Where would I need to post the images to be approved for the masterpiece gallery?

    regards

    Thanks! Im gonna make another at some point. Baby is due in less than a week, so it wont be for a while....

    Thanks mate, I had experience painting Gundam figures years ago. This was a whole new experience and learning curve for me. Playing with various techniques.

    Thanks man, pecker... you mean beak, lol! I didnt think i needed to sensor it

    Thanks very much, I will have MP Grimlock next week to pose with to compare Swoop with

    I saw it, loved it and wanted one myself. So I made it, and is was much more complicated than I first thought...

    iM IN THE PROCESS OF PUTTING AN LED INTO THE HEAD IN ROBOT MODE, EVEN THOUGH IT IS A SO SMALL. I KNOW I CAN FIT ONE LED IN TO HEAD AND MAKE HIS EYES LIGHT UP.

    SO I WAS WONDERING WHAT COLOR I SHOULD DO THE EYES, I WAS THINKING OF YELLOW. ANY SUGGESTIONS? CAN YOU GIVE AN EXPLANATION TO WHY YOU CHOOSE WHAT YOU CHOOSE TOO;;

    THANKS EVERYONE

    i agree, they havent bothered with scale. i would think Grimlock and Starscream are in scale, th Megatron an Prime in there scale too.... I-Prime is a smidgem smaller I think but much closer on scale to Grimmy....

    Thanks mate, I used what was left over from the custom build! The rest of Ravage is used on Swoop legs for the dino mode (Ravages hip and thigh section leading down to the knee)
