    Just how I likes my batmen :D , not overly fond of live action batmen, the voices never worked for me, always felt like Mike Tyson, ya know? Looks imposing but the voice doesn't quite match?

    It's all from being a 90's kid

    Well then it makes perfect sense liking West

    Though I will say, that for the iteration of batman he portrayed, (namely super campy, and upbeat, with a positive attitude) West was a good fit

    Sorry but you're all wrong.

    Will Arnett is the best Batman ever.

    (Only half joking)

    If this guy was more on the money, he'd be the Queen.

    Seriously, want a reboot of the 60s show with Will Arnett as Bruce Wayne (as Gob) and subwoofer-obsessed Batman.

    I'm trying to make this a social media thing, but seeing as IMBAP, this is the extent of my efforts.

    Also, Will Arnett should voice Springer or Hot Rod at some point.

    I reckon if Kevin Conroy could be dubbed over Affleck, it would improve the new film no end.

    Quite a haul in the old Blue Bin when I went home for my lunch - Warbo Fierce Attack, Toyworld Grimlock, BH Darksteel and Go! Arcee. Praise be to Morg and Andy for the giant boxes. shame I had to come back to work before I could unbox them.

    After Magnus came out so well, I thought I'd do the same for other rimless robits.

    [​IMG]

    Only Hot Spot and First Aid so far, next up should be Motormaster and Optimus Prime. Rook, I'm not sure he needs it and Streetwise's rims will be a pain because of the way they are.

    Good start though!

    Sweet rim job. I may play with mine later.
    I think I still have a gundam silver marker somewhere that would work rather well.

    And the good folk at Masterforce just shipped my cw wave 2 (I think). Glad to finally have it.

    Mental what a bit of paint can do for the look of a toy and a shame it's something that Hasbro have dropped in recent years. Penny pinching gits. Did you use any sort of special model paint? I'm thinking of breaking out a gundam marker on mine.

    That looks great Kit! Im a bit envious of those.

    I'll have to post my Streetwise pics. Finished the blue stripe on his side. Looks much better!

    Nah, just stick big masking tape (extra wide) onto the wheel, slice out the rims by following the natural trench (something Streetwise's wheels don't have, hence their extra difficulty) and spray with Silver Chrome Plasticote spray from B&Q.

    It's even a leftover can from another job, (DotM Deluxe Sideswipe IIRC?) so it's possible to just stockpile different paints. Streetwise I'm actually tempted to give gold rims...

    I did the rims on my AOE Autobots with a silver Sharpie. Worked like a charm, and still without a scratch 7 months later.

    Lovely work on those wheels Tikgnat!

    Maz, you have a knack for making 'bots look tempting, but I must resist.

    Also, IMBAB, but Chris Evans? Oh shoot! I was hoping they'd bring back Chris Goffey, William Woolard and Sue Baker.
    Yes, I'm that old folks...
