I think that it looks great. So many of these you see with too much shine on the bot parts. Yours looks like it has been through quite a few battles. Congrats and keep up the good work!

I love the weathering you put into the figure. Must have been quite time consuming. Well done!

It's very professional looking, but I get more of a dirty toy vibe than a battered robot vibe. Sorry.

On second thought, I do realize it's supposed to look dirty and I think it's a nice job. I just think I would have done a tad less weathering if I actually had the skills and patience to do something like this. I didn't notice before because of the lighting, but I realized you added some metallic orange detailing to the figure, which looks great. This repaint is really cool. How long did it take to make it? Weeks? Months?
