Motto: "A cunning smile is more devastating than the fiercest weapon."

Weapon: Anti-Thermal Cannon

Nice improvements there. Finished piece should look amazing.

I have anxiety, depression and aspergers syndrome so my behaviour can be erratic. I don't mean offense to anyone. Just very picky about my Transformers collecting. You're all cool!

Likes: Bayverse, Marvel UK G1, Geoff Senior art, '86 movie (more for style/soundtrack rather than Star Wars plot)
Dislikes: Bumblebee movie (lousy rehashed dumb crud), TFA, G1 cartoon, IDW G1, BW/BM, MP. The entire concept of Autobot Megatron

Thanks, i agree. don't understand how Hasbro can go to the trouble of doing all that detail on this guy then leave it in large unpainted and then to make it worse, make it bright white which hides it all

Thanks man, glad you can see the IDW influence with the touch of FOC (mainly the glowing lights and darker colour)

Here's a few update pics, still slow going but will keep at it

This detail work is really amazing. I have see a couple of Metroplex projects and I am pondering doing it as well.

I am digging the glow paint adds another facet of life to the figure. I also like the weathering you've done over the white as well. Kudos
