Hello all. Been awhile hasn't it?

Well I just spent the last week woopin' this Bad boy up.

I wanted to try something new I noticed through mistakes. Dyed parts bleed through paint half the time when you apply paint details. First I dyed the hands black, sanded down the surface to leave dye in the cracks only, painted it purple and the dye bled through. Not only does it give it that nice shadow detail but it keeps me from having to paint the articulation in the bends and ball sockets for the fingers.

Next time I'm ganna do the same effect to the other parts that get painted purple. I'm also ganna make a white version the second time around because although the Krylon Chrome looks nice it also streaks easy and you don't want crome to streak on a black surface.

I'll show alt mode pics when all the paint detailing is done and paint touch ups have been made.

For now. Enjoy.

Yea, I was considering taking it up there.

I hope to be able to find 2 more and buy them to make others.

I kept having to avert my eyes at the con. It was so damn tempting.

I'm gonna keep creating zombie threads while I'm moving stuff. Anyhow, I really like this one. It's as good as the Takara version if not better. Billy's customs could really stand the test of time. Even a lot of his older works still look amazing.
