CRITICISM ,COMMENTS ,HATERED R ALL WELLCOME

booster mode

those boosters are attached with magnets to the trimmed fist of landmine , and in this mode no partsforming , the fists which have magnets as well r sitting in the boosters imitating some kind of thrust....

mouth articulation

battery case made from a plastic tube fromthe middle tube of those rolled "doggy poo bags"

SMD's those r a pain in the arse to solder,but they r mighty strong ,all the wiring was covered with tamiya putty , the transperancy of the eye is just kid's white glue once its dry it transperant (still thinking if to paint it transperant blue )

Thermo paint
this acrlylic ( non toxic )paint is heat reactive ,when is not hot (more then 30 deg c/86 f ) its retain its opacity but when u touch it or place it next to a heat emitting object (in this case my super old lap top - Its 7 yrs old give some R E S P E C T !!) the paint becomes completly translucent .
I painted the scales with flat enamel paint ,with a gundam marker i drew some " electronics" ---> the electronics is visable only when its hot !

the arm covers/creatures back are also painted with this paint but there are no surprises underneath

GLOW IN THE DARK -those mini ivory spots r glow in the dark paint

all those paints are from an awesome guy name Nigel from

KILABITZZZ
