It is my first post here.

Spent sometime to paint the FOC Jazz, which was basically an unpainted white mode from Hasbro.

Very nice, you really brought out the details well in the mold and gave him a much needed makeover

By the way, welcome

Thank you for your reply. I really think it is a good mold, but Hasbro always find its way to screw it up.

Hehe, yes. I'm looking forward to getting the Takara version soon. It's actually quite similar to your custom (though you added a lot more of the finer details that neither Hasbro nor Takara did).

Yes, the takara version looks good.

I paid $8 for the Hasbro version, just couldn't justified paying $45 for the TT version.
So that was the motivation to get me started the repaint.

Same as the G2 OP, the BOTCON purple G2OP are $180, so I repainted mine.

Yep, that's the way to do it if you've got the skills and the paint
